Consumption, investment and export are known as the " three-horse horse " that drives economic growth. Major economic provinces have come up with real ways to expand effective demand.

——Scientific and accurate expansion of investment. Major projects are connected to demand on one end and supply on the other end, which has a dual pulling effect on economic growth. As of the end of September, Sichuan's key projects this year completed an investment of 626.15 billion yuan, with an investment completion rate of 97.2%.

How did Shandong do it? One of the answers is to seize the opportunity of the entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and actively develop cross-border e-commerce. In the "2022 Action Plan for Consolidating Foreign Trade Quality Improvement", Shandong Province clearly proposed to carry out the "Cultivation Action of Cross-border E-commerce in Characteristic Industrial Belts", and held 20 "cloud exhibitions" around the two-way promotion of RCEP import and export, mechanical and electrical and high-tech products, new foreign trade formats, etc., to help enterprises make good use of resources such as overseas warehouse , market procurement and trade methods , Qilu Eurasian Express and other resources to expand to emerging markets.
