National Bureau of Statistics: Medium and downstream enterprises face temporary cost pressures, and the effects of relevant policies to assist enterprises are expected to gradually become evident.

According to the Wisdom Financial APP, on June 16th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the national economic performance in May 2026. Wang Guanhua, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Statistics Department of the National Economy, stated that due to differences in industrial division of labor, market demand, industry competition, and other factors, the profitability of industries shows some differentiation, and some middle and downstream enterprises are facing temporary cost pressures. Faced with changes in costs, many enterprises are taking proactive measures such as technological transformation, refined management, and expanding markets to tap potential efficiency and offset pressure. Relevant departments and regions are continuing to implement detailed assistance policies for enterprises, supporting large-scale equipment updates and transformations, taking measures to reduce enterprise costs such as energy and logistics, and the effects are expected to gradually become apparent.
