The Chinese economy kept a momentum of recovery in August with various sectors that include service, employment and foreign trade registering mild growth, according to the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday.
In August, due to the complex and severe international environment and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and flooding in large parts of China, the year-on-year growth of major economic indicators slowed down. However, overall, the economy continued to recover, showing resilience in economic development, according to Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, at a press briefing in Beijing.
"Major macro indicators have remained stable on the whole. In general, the economy has kept the momentum of recovery and continued to take on resilience in development," Fu said.
In terms of growth, the average growth rate of the industrial and service sectors increased relatively fast in the past two years. From January to August, the industrial added value of major enterprises and the service production index grew by an average of 6.6 percent and 6.2 percent respectively.
Employment has remained stable in general.
From January to August, the surveyed urban unemployment rate was 5.2 percent on average, lower than the target set for macro regulation for the year. The surveyed urban unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in August, the same as the previous month.
In terms of prices of commodities, the consumer prices rose moderately in August, lower than the target set for macro regulation this year.
At the same time, the overall balance of international payments has improved, both imports and exports of goods have grown rapidly, trade surplus has continued to expand, the trade deficit in services has narrowed, and the use of foreign investment has continued to increase.
The country's foreign exchange reserves remained stable, with the balance remaining at 3.23 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of August, staying above 3.2 trillion U.S. dollars for four consecutive months.
