The growth rate of investment in fixed assets slightly dropped back. The first reason is that the real estate market has cooled significantly since this year, the real estate development enterprises are in strong wait-and-see mood, and more cautious about investment activities. According to preliminary calculations, the drop of growth rate of investment in real estate for January to July affects nearly 0.1 percentage point decrease in the overall investment growth rate. The second reason is that the prominent problem of excess capacity has affected the manufacturing investment enthusiasm. While the third reason is that the growth of investment funds source has been constrained by the slowing growth of local financial revenue, as well as the tighter supervision of financing platform. However, as the total planned investment in newly started projects picked up, the investment in fixed assets will maintain steady and rapid growth over the next few months.
