Although consumer recovery also faces constraints such as insufficient consumption information and limited consumption scenarios, the development of the consumer market is facing several favorable factors: First, the epidemic prevention and control provides a strong guarantee for contact consumption and cultural tourism consumption restoration; Second, the economic recovery is good, the residents have better increasing income, and the base of consumption growth is increased; third, the continuous efforts of various consumer policies such as automobiles, home appliances, and retail, and increasing the activity of the consumer market. Multiple favorable factors are superimposed. It is expected that the city's consumer market will continue to stabilize and consolidate the trend in the second half of the year.
