The total economic volume exceeds 100 billion, which is a new level, which means that the urban economic toughness and the radiation ability of industrial agglomeration are enhanced, which plays an important role in promoting economic transformation and upgrading, talent agglomeration, employment and entrepreneurship, building regional brands and so on.

The total economic output of more than 100 billion yuan is a new starting point, which means the continuous optimization of industrial structure, the accelerated breakthrough of scientific and technological innovation ability, and the continuous improvement of development momentum and business environment.

The total economic volume has exceeded 100 billion, which is a new height, which means that there is stronger strength to invest in development, more funds to invest in people’s livelihood construction, and more sufficient foundation to build a high-quality development demonstration area in the central region.

The total economic volume exceeds 100 billion, which is not only a breakthrough in quantity, but also a qualitative improvement. A seemingly gentle leap is as easy as it is hard. Behind the great achievements are the results of successive district party committees and governments of Jiangxia District working one after another and consistently implementing them. They are the crystallization of millions of cadres and people in Jiangxia District who have been brave, honed and forged ahead with sweat and wisdom.

Stop and look back, let’s explore the struggle password behind the total economic volume of Jiangxia District to 100 billion yuan.

It took three years to launch a sprint to the goal twice - the road of 100 billion has ups and downs

“A set of simple figures, a history of struggling to meet difficulties and forge ahead.” Standing at the new starting point of 100 billion yuan, many Jiangxia people have a lot of feelings.

The pointer of time is set back to five years ago.

In 2017, Jiangxia District adjusted its development strategy and achieved a GDP of 77.098 billion yuan, an increase of 10.5%. The growth rate of main economic indicators was higher than the average level of the whole province and the whole city, showing a strong development trend and great vitality.

In 2018, Jiangxia District continued its steady and positive momentum. In that year, the regional GDP directly skipped the 80 billion yuan mark, reaching 90.615 billion yuan, an increase of 13.517 billion yuan over 2017. The 100 billion urban goal is within reach.

At that time, Jiangxia ranked first in the county economic matrix of the province for 11 consecutive times and was shortlisted as one of the top 100 industrial zones in China for two consecutive years. Under the background of Jiangyi District, the first round of rush for qianxia district was launched at the beginning of 2019.

“At that time, everyone was full of confidence and energy!” Reviewing the course of struggle, the relevant person in charge of Jiangxia District government introduced that when the whole region launched a sprint towards the goal with 100 times confidence, no one thought that the challenge of jumping to the level of 100 billion was so great. According to the data, Jiangxia District completed a regional GDP of 94.88 billion yuan in 2019, which missed 100 billion yuan.

Why didn’t the goal set in that year be achieved? What are the reasons for slowing down the pace of development? Xiong Jihui, director of the Bureau of science, technology and economic informatization of Jiangxia District, introduced that at the beginning of the establishment of the East Lake High Tech Development Zone, an agreement on “one point and two counts” of statistical data was reached with Jiangxia District. The industrial added value of Jiangxia District over the years included the data of the trusteeship area of the East Lake high tech Zone, which was deducted after the fourth national economic census.

“Turning over the history of Jiangxia withdrawing from the county to build a district and beyond, no year is as difficult as 2020.” Xiong Jihui said. 2 years ago, covid-19, the total economic output of Jiangxia district did not rise or fall, only 84 billion 204 million yuan of GDP was achieved, and 10 billion 400 million yuan lower than that of 2019. The general budget revenue dropped from 9 billion 185 million yuan to 6 billion 521 million yuan.

Jiangxia people, Zhou! In 2021, on the basis of Wuhan’s target of 96 billion yuan of total economic output, Jiangxia District will self pressurize and once again sound the clarion call of “sprint into 100 billion urban areas and return to the top of the county economy” in the spirit of “jump up and pick peaches”. “To tell you the truth, many people are sweating for Jiang Xia.” Xiong Jihui said frankly.

The road ahead has never been smooth. In August 2021, when the whole region set anchor targets and worked hard, the epidemic hit Jiangxia again, which had a serious impact on economic and social development. In the face of the double test of epidemic prevention and control and economic development, the whole region withstood the pressure, walked forward with heavy load and rose to the difficulties, paid attention to epidemic prevention and control on the one hand and economic development on the other hand, worked hard to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development, won the “Jiangxia defense war” again at the speed of “clearing in nine days”, and wrote the Jiangxia style of “heroic city and heroic people”.

Only unexpected, not impossible. At the end of 2021, Jiangxia people spelled out a hard won report card: the regional GDP was 101.023 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 14.0%, ranking first in the new urban area of the city. Among them, the added value of the primary industry was 11.171 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.4%; The added value of the secondary industry was 40.358 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%; The tertiary industry achieved an added value of 49.495 billion yuan, an increase of 11.7% year-on-year, showing a good trend of comprehensive recovery, rapid growth and improvement of quality and efficiency, and achieved a good start in the 14th five year plan.

Difficulties and hardships make you successful. The realization of the 100 billion level goal has fulfilled a dream of Jiangxia people for many years and made Jiangxia people full of confidence.
