The new orders index and raw material inventory index rose. Reflecting the recovery of the production readiness of industrial enterprises, the fall in the new export order index reflects the decline in the level of external demand, and the potential impact of changes in external factors needs to be highly concerned.From the changes in investment and export growth in December of last year, It is expected that the economic growth rate in the future will still show a trend of reversal, but the signs of stabilizing will become more apparent."
