At the time, the weather was hot. In the Altay region of Xinjiang, nearly a hundred construction workers were sweating, and stepped up the construction of the highway projects from the Burjin County to Jimona Port's highway project in Line S319. The machine was roaring at the scene, several excavators and loaders were swinging the "arm" to excavate earthwork. The transportation vehicles shuttled back and forth to clear the earth, and a hot and busy scene came into the eyes of reporters.

As a micro -indicator that observes economic changes such as fixed asset investment, the "excavator index" created by Sany Heavy Industry based on the Tree rooted Industrial Internet platform shows that in the first half of the year, the total working time of the excavator increased by 6.86%year -on -year, and the monthly operating rate of engineering machinery was a single monthly operating rate. It was 60.37%. Among them, the monthly operating rate of construction machinery in the second quarter was 66.77%, which was significantly higher than the first quarter.

Since the beginning of this year, all parts of the country have solidly promoted the construction of infrastructure projects, and measured multiple measures to expand effective investment. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, the national fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) increased by 6.1%year -on -year, of which infrastructure investment increased by 7.1%year -on -year, which was 0.4 percentage points accelerated from January to May.

Zhu Minghao, an associate professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, believes that the work of construction machinery and equipment continues to reflect the effectiveness of various stable growth policies, accelerate infrastructure construction, and enhance corporate investment confidence. The characteristics of strong economic toughness are still obvious.

The construction of the road is inseparable from the paving machine. The "excavator index" shows that in the first half of the year, the average operating volume of paving machines has been growing for 5 consecutive months since February. The Ministry of Transport released data on July 28: In the first half of the year, nearly 170 and 4800 kilometers of new highways and ordinary national highway projects started in my country, with a total investment of 291 billion yuan.

In addition to the fast horses and whip, the construction of the port is also full of horsepower. On July 28th, the first new automated terminal in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area, was put into operation in the fourth phase of the Nansha Port District of Guangzhou Port. Prior to this, the Qinzhou Automated Container Pier of Qinzhou, Beibu Gulf, Guangxi was also officially opened ...

The front hanging is a lifting equipment for loading and unloading containers, which is mainly used for port terminals, which is closely linked to import and export trade. According to the "excavator index", from January to June, the average monthly operating rate of the domestic front hanging was maintained at 54%.

The active operation of port machinery means that my country's foreign trade exchanges continue to heat up, and this trend has also been confirmed from the data of the General Administration of Customs. According to customs statistics, the total value of import and export in my country in the first half of the year was 1.98 trillion yuan, an increase of 9.4%year -on -year. The number of foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance increased by 5.5%year -on -year, and imports and exports to major trading partners increased.

Further analysis of the "excavator index" can also be seen that resumption of work and re -production in key areas is accelerating. Since February, Jilin's monthly operating rate has risen monthly; in mid -May, Shanghai announced that after the social clearing of society, the operating rate and average workload of various types of machinery and equipment in June have increased significantly. He Dongdong believes that the effectiveness of the national epidemic prevention policy and the continuous enhancement of stable investment have laid the foundation for the rise of economic stability in the second half of the year.

Since the beginning of this year, stable investment has continued to be strong: On May 31, the State Council issued the "Policy and Measures for Stable Economy", which clearly accelerated the promotion of water conservancy projects, traffic infrastructure investment, urban underground comprehensive pipe corridor construction, etc.; July 28 28 The Central Political Bureau meeting held on Japan proposes to "make good use of local government special bond funds" and "support the improvement of infrastructure and business environment in the central and western regions" ...
