Investing more actively, industries moving forward—China's economy kicks off the year with a "speed boost"

The latest data released by the National Development and Reform Commission’s National Information Center shows that in the first two months of this year, multiple leading economic indicators have shown a positive and improving trend. Funding guarantees have been strengthened, construction projects have accelerated, and effective investment continues to exert effort. First, let’s look at the excavator index. In February this year, despite traditional off-season factors such as the Spring Festival holiday and low temperatures, various types of equipment performed remarkably. Among them, the port equipment startup rate increased by 3.91 percentage points year-on-year, and the workload increased by 12% year-on-year. (CCTV News)
