Not only to hold exhibitions

"Three major platforms" to enhance the gold content of the Panda Consumption Festival

Sichuan is a province with a large economy, a province with a large population, and a province with a large resource. It is also a veritable province with a large consumption and an open province with a special status in building a new development pattern.

data shows that in the past five years, the scale of the province's consumer market has expanded to 2.4 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth of 8.3%, 1.5 percentage points higher than the growth rate of GDP; this year, the province's import and export scale is expected to reach a trillion yuan level, of which the import volume may exceed 400 billion yuan.

In the view of many exhibitors, in the international and domestic consumption map, Sichuan has unique advantages and favorable conditions to enhance local consumption, attract foreign consumption, and serve global consumption.

"The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to focus on expanding domestic demand, enhancing the fundamental role of consumption in economic development and the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure. The 12th Provincial Party Congress proposed to accelerate the development of modern service industry and build a western financial center and an international consumption center city. The China (Sichuan) International Panda Consumption Festival will coordinate consumption promotion and opening up to the outside world, focusing on the quality supply, quality guidance, and taste life of global consumption, based on the creation of a first-class international consumption environment, and strive to build a global consumer product display platform, a diversified consumer culture appreciation platform, and an international consumption chain investment cooperation platform." A relevant person in charge of the Department of Commerce introduced.

According to the plan, the Panda Consumer Festival will adhere to the principle of "step by step and step by step" for cultivation. Among them, the first two years were the initial exploration period, combining the introduction of brands with independent cultivation, and initially building a stage for global consumer goods to enter China and Chinese consumer goods to the world; another two years were used as the empowerment and improvement period, strengthening the construction of independent brands, promoting the cross-border integration of consumer culture, injecting more international elements, and greatly improving the degree of internationalization; finally, another one year was used as the consolidation and fixed period.

It is worth mentioning that in order to stimulate the continued vitality of the Panda Consumer Festival, Sichuan will adopt the "government guidance and market operation" method to deepen cooperation with world-renowned exhibition companies, expand the "circle of friends" of the "Panda Consumer Alliance", enhance the inclusiveness of global high-quality consumer products, expand the diversity of domestic and foreign consumer resources, and enhance the leadership of international consumer fashion.

Relevant person in charge of the Department of Commerce said that it will continue to cultivate the Panda Consumption Festival in about five years, accelerate the gathering of high-quality domestic and foreign consumption resources, smooth the dual circulation consumption channels, effectively play the leading and driving role of the Panda Consumption Festival, help Sichuan cultivate a consumer economy center with global influence, domestic competitiveness, and regional support, and help the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle to build a new highland for reform and opening up and a high-quality livable place for living.
