note appended
(1) The added value of industries above designated size and the growth rate of their classified projects are calculated at comparable prices, which is the actual growth rate; Unless otherwise specified, other indicators are calculated at current prices and are nominal growth rates.
(2) The statistical scope of industries above designated size includes industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan and above.
As the scope of industrial enterprises above designated size changes every year, in order to ensure that the data of this year is comparable with that of last year, the number of the same period used to calculate the year-on-year growth rate of various indicators such as product output is as consistent as possible with the statistical scope of enterprises in this period, and there is a difference in caliber with the data published last year. Main reasons: First, the range of statistical units has changed. Every year, some enterprises reach the scale and are included in the scope of investigation, while some enterprises withdraw from the scope of investigation due to smaller scale, as well as the impact of newly built enterprises, bankruptcy, injection (suspension) and sales enterprises. Second, the product output data of some enterprise groups (companies) have the phenomenon of cross regional duplicate statistics. According to the special survey, the cross regional duplicate output of enterprise groups (companies) has been eliminated.
(3) The service industry production index refers to the output change of the service industry in the reporting period relative to the base period after excluding the price factor.

Since the scope of wholesale and retail enterprises above the designated size, accommodation and catering enterprises (units, self-employed households) changes every year, in order to ensure that the data of this year is comparable with that of the previous year, the number of the same period used to calculate the year-on-year growth rate of various indicators such as retail sales of consumer goods per unit above the designated size is consistent with the statistical scope of enterprises (units, self-employed households) in this period, There is a difference in caliber from the data published last year. The main reason is that every year, some enterprises (units and self-employed enterprises) are included in the scope of investigation when they reach the quota standard, while some enterprises (units and self-employed enterprises) withdraw from the scope of investigation because they cannot reach the quota standard due to their smaller scale, as well as the impact of newly opened enterprises, bankruptcy, and registered (suspended) enterprises (units and self-employed enterprises).
