Notes

Average daily output of products: Calculated by dividing the total output of industrial enterprises above designated size announced in the current month by the number of calendar days in that month.

The output data in the report are all statistical caliber of industrial enterprises above designated size, which refers to industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan and above.

Due to annual changes in the scope of industrial enterprises above designated size, to ensure the comparability of data between the current year and the previous year, the same period figures used to calculate the year-on-year growth rates of indicators such as product output are consistent with the statistical scope of the current period, which may differ from the data released in the previous year.
