Retail consumer sales up

China鈥檚 retail sales of consumer goods are expected to hit 44 trillion yuan (US$6.8 trillion) in 2021, an official said yesterday.

The estimated figure represents an increase of about 12.5 percent from last year and 8 percent from 2019, said Wang Bin, an official with the Ministry of Commerce

Considering the growth month by month in the second half of 2020, the year-on-year growth trend of consumption will be 鈥渓ow-after-high鈥 throughout this year, Wang said, adding that the country鈥檚 consumption will continue its steady recovery in the fourth quarter.

For the upcoming National Day holiday, during which robust consumption is expected, the country is strengthening market monitoring and releasing inventories to ensure the adequate supply of daily necessities, Wang said.
