Annotations:

1. Notes on indicators

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

2. Statistical Coverage

The output data in this report cover the industrial enterprises above the designated size, which refer to industrial enterprises with an annual main business revenue of 20 million yuan or above.

As the scope of industrial enterprises above the designated size changes every year, to ensure comparability between the data of the current year and those of the previous year, the year-on-year growth rates of product output and other indicators are calculated based on the same statistical coverage of enterprises as in the current period, which may differ from the data published for the previous year.
