In recent years, many provinces of in the northern region have faced development difficulties. The general view is that the economic differences between the north and the south are becoming increasingly obvious, and have gradually become a new problem facing China's coordinated regional economic development.
In recent decades, in order to accelerate the structural adjustment of macroeconomic and promote industrial transformation and upgrading, my country has continuously increased the supply-side structural adjustment efforts, and northern provinces and cities such as Tianjin, Hebei, and Shanxi have become the core areas of "three cuts and one reduction".
However, some scholars have pointed out that when analyzing the gap, in addition to looking at the total amount of various indicators, we also need to look at the per capita level. Public data shows that in recent years, the absolute gap between the southern and northern per capita GDP has widened, but the relative gap is not large.
The gap between the north and the south economy, from an objective reason, is caused by the differences in economic structure.
Whether it is high-level cities such as Tianjin, Jinan, Shenyang, or ordinary prefecture-level cities such as Yantai , Tangshan , The development of each city in the north is slowly recovering.
In the first three quarters of 2022, the top ten prefecture-level cities in the northern region were officially announced, namely Yantai City (672 billion), Tangshan City (634.9 billion), Xuzhou City (629.3 billion), Weifang City (533.8 billion), Yulin City (460.9 billion), Luoyang City (434 billion), Linyi City (432 billion), Jining City (396.8 billion), Ordos (393.5 billion), and Nanyang City (346 billion).
In the first three quarters, in the comparison between major provinces in my country, Shandong Province's economic growth led Jiangsu, Guangdong and other provinces, ranking first. In the northern region, Shandong is a key development node.
In the second quarter of this year, my country officially issued the "Opinions on Supporting Shandong to Deepening the Transformation of New and Old Kinetic Energy to Promote Green, Low-Carbon and High-Quality Development". The document clarifies Shandong's position in the overall national situation, which is an important industrial base in my country and a strategic fulcrum for economic development in the northern region.
In the future, the rise of the northern region does require strong performance from Shandong!
Shandong has been shortlisted for the top ten prefecture-level cities in the northern region! In addition to Yantai, which ranked first, Weifang ranked among the top four, Linyi Jining was shortlisted.
In fact, in recent years, Weifang has surpassed Yantai in terms of some core indicators. In the future, new competition will begin between Weifang and Yantai.
In the first three quarters of 2022, Weifang achieved a GDP of 533.81 billion yuan, and increased by 4.1% year-on-year.
: According to industry, Weifang's primary industry added value is 50.512 billion yuan, the secondary industry added value is 217.43 billion yuan, and the tertiary industry added value is 265.868 billion yuan. The tertiary industry 's contribution rate to economic growth is 9.3%, 45.1% and 45.6% respectively.
During the same period, the fixed asset investment of in Weifang City increased by 13.8% year-on-year. Among them, Weifang's manufacturing technology transformation investment increased by 18.9% in the first three quarters, 5.1 percentage points higher than the average investment growth rate.
Tangshan ranks second, becoming the only prefecture-level city in Hebei!
Once upon a time, Hebei was also a strong economic province in our country. Nowadays, Hebei does not have much advantage in the development of prefecture-level cities. Although Tangshan's total GDP has remained stable at the second place in the northern region for a long time, none of the other prefecture-level cities in Hebei have been shortlisted for the top ten.
After all, Hebei is the main area of the future Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, and the achievements of this prefecture-level city can only be considered average.
In the first three quarters of this year, Tangshan City achieved a regional GDP of 634.94 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%. So what new opinions do you have on the top ten prefecture-level cities in northern my country?
