Liu Bin, deputy director of the regional bureau of statistics, said that Xinjiang has fully implemented the Party's strategy for governing the region in the new era, focused on the overall goals of its work and the "five strategic positions" assigned by the central government. By coordinating development and security and leveraging its policy, resource, and geographical advantages, Xinjiang has promoted high-quality development and ensured a stable and steady economic performance in the first three quarters.

The three major industries have maintained a solid foundation. Agricultural production has shown strong growth, with steady increases in garden fruit output and livestock production. Industrial production has grown relatively rapidly, with key industries performing well and private enterprises standing out. The service sector has also experienced moderate growth, with the transportation market remaining generally stable. The added value of the primary industry reached 195.97 billion yuan (about 27.6 billion U.S. dollars), up 4.9 percent; that of the secondary industry, 599.41 billion yuan (about 84.4 billion U.S. dollars), up 5.9 percent; and that of the tertiary industry, 761.45 billion yuan (about 107.21 billion U.S. dollars), up 5.3 percent.

Effective demand has shown strong resilience. Fixed-asset investment has expanded continuously, with industrial investment providing strong support and private investment becoming more vibrant. In the first three quarters, fixed-asset investment (excluding rural households) increased by 7.3 percent year-on-year. The consumer market has grown steadily, with daily-necessity goods sales increasing steadily and some improved-consumption categories, such as new energy vehicle sales, growing rapidly. In the first three quarters, the total retail sales of consumer goods reached 294.03 billion yuan (about 41.4 billion U.S. dollars), up 4.6 percent year-on-year.

Liu also emphasized the need to adhere to the guiding principles of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and maintain the general tone of seeking progress while ensuring stability. He stressed the importance of implementing more proactive macro policies to stabilize employment, businesses, markets, and expectations, and to promote high-quality development and sustained economic health.
