CCTV News: A number of high-frequency data from the National Information Center show that my country's consumer market showed many highlights in the first quarter and showed a positive trend. The offline consumption popularity index increased by 14.2% year-on-year in the first quarter, up 9.1 percentage points from the previous quarter.
Since the beginning of the year, major business districts across the country have been constantly "new" and "breaking the circle", releasing more consumption potential.

Now, the "first-term economy" is becoming the "traffic password" that leverages the consumption vitality of Chunxi Road business district. Chengdu is also further exploring how to better promote the "first-term economy". This year, Chengdu integrated forces in different fields such as development and reform, business and trade, and local streets to establish the "First-term Economic Development Promotion Center", and provides full-chain accompanying services from incubation and cultivation to operation monitoring based on the needs of first-term enterprises.
