We have continuously optimized the economic structure. In the first half of the year. The tertiary industry's added value accounted for 54.9% of GDP, up 0.5 percentage points year-over-year, and 15.0 percentage points higher than the figure for secondary industry.

We have steadily promoted a series of major regional development strategies, including the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region and the integrated development of the Yangtze Economic Belt, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Yangtze River Delta. A new pattern of overall development across the country is taking shape.
总的来看，上半年国民经济运行在合理区间，延续了总体平稳、稳中有进发展态势。但也要看到，当前国内外经济形势依然复杂严峻，全球经济增长有所放缓，外部不稳定不确定因素增多，国内发展不平衡不充分问题仍较突出，经济面临新的下行压力。下一步，要以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，认真贯彻落实党中央国务院各项决策部署，坚持稳中求进工作总基调，坚持以供给侧结构性改革为主线，按照高质量发展要求，深化改革开放，优化营商环境，推进关键领域自主创新，充分调动各方面积极性，狠抓“六稳”政策落实落地，推动经济平稳健康发展。谢谢。
In general, the national economy operated within a reasonable range in the first half of the year, having achieved generally stable growth while making further progress. However, we must also note that the current domestic and international economic situation remains complicated and severe. Global economic growth has slowed down, external instability and uncertainties have increased, and the problem of domestic development imbalance is still outstanding, while the economy faces new downward pressures.
In the next stage, we need to take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, seriously implement the decision-making arrangements and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, adhere to the general approach of steady progress, and maintain supply-side structural reform as the principal direction, while promoting high-quality development, deepening reform and opening up, optimizing the business environment, promoting independent innovation in key areas, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties. We also need to pay close attention to the implementation of the policies to stabilize employment, finance, investment, foreign trade, foreign investment, and expectations so as to ensure a steady and healthy economic development. Thank you.
