中国经济要闻

China's industrial profits declined on multiple factors, but continue to see improvement in business profit structure, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Sunday.

Major industrial firms with annual main business revenues of at least 20 million yuan each saw their combined profits dip 3 percent year-on-year in the first 10 months of the year to reach about 6.98 trillion yuan, widening from the 2.3 percent drop recorded in the first nine months, data from the NBS showed.

The combined revenues of these firms sustained growth during the period, rising 7.6 percent year-on-year to 111.78 trillion yuan.

Zhu Hong, a senior statistician with the bureau, said industrial profits were weighed down by renewed domestic COVID cases and weak factory-gate prices.

Despite the overall profit decline, the business profit structure of industrial firms continues to optimize, with some firms in the midstream and downstream of the industry chain posting an evident uptick in profit margins, Zhu said.

A total of 19 out of 41 major industries saw growth in profits in the January-October period. Profits recorded by firms supplying electricity, heat, gas and water grew by 15.5 percent after a 4.9 percent rise in the first nine months, while profits of equipment manufacturing enterprises rose by 3.2 percent on a yearly basis in the first 10 months after the 0.6 increase in the first nine months.

Among the industrial enterprises, profit of private companies dropped by 8.1 percent to 1.96 trillion yuan yearly, while profits at state-owned enterprise profits slightly increased 1.1 percent to 2.26 trillion yuan. Companies from overseas earned profits of 1.66 trillion yuan during the period, down 7.6 percent, largely narrowed from the 9.3 percent drop in the first nine months.

The profitability of small- and medium-sized enterprises was also stable. In the first 10 months this year, their profits grew 1.4 percent on a yearly basis, compared with 1.5 percent in the first nine months.

Despite facing pressures and challenges amid renewed COVID-19 outbreaks and slackening domestic and external demand, the economy may recover slowly and gradually in the following months given the government's targeted macro policy easing, economists said, as the country still has sufficient policy tools and room to step up fiscal and monetary policy support to stabilize growth, including forceful infrastructure spending, further reductions in the reserve requirement ratio, and interest rate cuts.

11月27日，国家统计局发布数据显示，1-10月份，全国规模以上工业企业营业收入同比增长7.6%，利润同比下降3%，但装备制造业利润明显回升，电气机械行业利润大幅增长，工业企业利润结构继续改善。

分三大门类看，1-10月份，采矿业实现利润总额13943亿元，同比增长60.4%；制造业实现利润总额51739.3亿元，同比下降13.4%；电力、热力、燃气及水生产和供应业实现利润总额4085.9亿元，同比增长15.5%，增速在1-9月份由负转正的基础上，进一步加快10.6个百分点。

国家统计局工业司高级统计师朱虹表示，随着煤炭保供稳价工作持续推进，电力行业成本压力趋缓，利润同比增长28.1%，增速较1-9月份加快16.7个百分点，拉动规上工业利润增长1.0个百分点，较1-9月份提高0.5个百分点，是拉动工业企业利润增速回升最多的行业。

工业企业利润行业结构不断优化。1-10月份装备制造业利润占规上工业的比重为32.2%，较1至2月份提高7.1个百分点。装备制造业全部8个大类行业利润均较1-9月份改善。电气机械行业受新能源产业带动，利润大幅增长29.0%，增速加快3.7个百分点；铁路船舶航空航天运输设备行业利润增长13.7%，增速加快4.2个百分点；随着促进汽车消费政策持续显效，汽车销售保持较快增长，带动行业利润增长0.8%，今年以来累计利润首次由降转增。

外资和中小企业利润有所改善。1-10月份随着稳外资政策持续发力，外商及港澳台商投资企业利润同比降幅较1至9月份收窄1.7个百分点，连续3个月改善。帮扶中小企业纾困解难有关政策落地见效，1-10月份中小企业利润同比增长1.4%，持续保持增长。

朱虹表示，总体看，工业企业利润下降，结构继续改善，部分中下游行业利润回升明显。但也要看到近期国内疫情散发多发，世界经济衰退风险加剧，工业企业效益恢复面临较大压力。下一步，要高效统筹疫情防控和经济社会发展，推动稳经济一揽子政策和接续措施全面落地见效，确保产业链供应链稳定畅通，加快释放消费需求，落实落细惠企纾困政策，推动工业经济持续稳定恢复。
