Notes appended to a book:

(1) The growth rate of industrial added value above designated size and its classified items is calculated at comparable prices and is the actual growth rate; Other indicators are calculated at current prices and are nominal growth rates unless otherwise specified.

(2) The statistical scope of industries above designated size is industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan or more.

Since the scope of industrial enterprises above designated size changes every year, in order to ensure that the data of this year is comparable to the previous year, the number of the same period used to calculate the growth rate of various indicators such as product output is as consistent as possible with the statistical range of enterprises in the current period, and there is a difference in caliber with the data published last year. The main reasons are: First, the range of statistical units has changed. Every year, some enterprises reach the scale to be included in the scope of the survey, and some enterprises withdraw from the scope of the survey because of the smaller scale, and there are new and put into operation, bankruptcy, and note (suspension) sale of enterprises. Second, some enterprise groups (companies) product output data exist cross-regional duplication of statistical phenomenon, according to the special investigation of enterprise groups (companies) cross-regional duplication of production was eliminated.
