Looking ahead to the future, China's private investment will present three major development trends: the investment structure will accelerate its transformation towards high-quality development areas, and more private capital will flow into areas such as new quality productivity, emerging service industries, and new infrastructure. With the continuous release of various policy effects, private investment will play an important role in more fields. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, private fixed assets investment from January to August fell by 2.3% year on year, an increase from the previous seven months. Despite the overall data pressure, the structure of private investment has shown positive changes and demonstrated strong resilience. Private investment plays an important role in stabilizing growth, adjusting structure, and stabilizing employment. China's private investment is currently in a critical period of structural transformation. How to further stimulate the vitality of private investment, broaden investment space, and optimize the investment environment is an important issue in current economic work. The growth rate of private investment is under pressure, mainly due to the decline in real estate development investment. From January to August, private investment in real estate development decreased by 16.7%, which alone dragged down the overall growth rate of private investment by 4.5 percentage points. If real estate development investment is deducted, the year-on-year growth rate of private project investment is 3%, which is higher than the overall investment level. This indicates that in the real economy sector, private capital still maintains a strong willingness and ability to invest. The performance in the manufacturing sector is particularly impressive, with private investment in the manufacturing industry increasing by 4.2% in the first 8 months, and over half of the 31 major manufacturing categories achieving double-digit growth. Among them, private investment in the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 22.6%, while private investment in the railway, shipbuilding, aerospace, and other transportation equipment manufacturing industry increased by 16.2%. These data reflect that private capital is actively adapting to the trend of industrial upgrading, increasing innovation investment, and actively integrating into the construction of a modern industrial system. At the same time, the depth and breadth of private capital participation in major infrastructure construction continue to expand. Private investment in infrastructure increased by 7.5% year-on-year in the first 8 months. The field of livelihood services has also become an investment hotspot, with private investment in the accommodation and catering industry increasing by 17%, and private investment in the cultural, sports, and entertainment industries increasing by 7%. This is consistent with the trend of expanding and improving service consumption in China. The diversified expansion of investment fields fully reflects the confidence of private capital in the prospects of economic development, and also reflects the continuous optimization of the investment environment. Currently, some private enterprises are still facing difficulties in production and operation, and the complex changes in the domestic and international environment have also put pressure on private investment. However, the long-term positive fundamentals of China's economy have not changed, and high-quality development is deeply promoted, which will continuously provide broad space for private investment. The unique advantages of private enterprises are constantly highlighted in market tests, with a keen market sense, flexible response mechanisms, and strong innovation vitality, enabling them to quickly adapt to market changes and seize new development opportunities. As the backbone of innovative development, private enterprises are actively laying out emerging and future industries such as green industries, artificial intelligence, and embodied robots, demonstrating strong innovation vitality. Looking ahead to the future, China's private investment will present three major development trends: the investment structure will accelerate its transformation towards high-quality development areas, and more private capital will flow into areas such as new quality productivity, emerging service industries, and new infrastructure. The investment model will become more diversified, the cooperation model between the government and social capital will continue to improve, and infrastructure REITs will be issued on a regular basis, further stimulating the vitality of private investment. Investment entities will become more integrated, with large private enterprises leading innovation and small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on segmented markets, forming a complementary investment ecosystem. These trends will jointly promote the simultaneous improvement of both quantity and quality of private investment. To further stimulate the vitality of private investment, it is necessary to work together from multiple dimensions, so that private capital can invest, invest well, enter and exit. The State Council executive meeting held on September 12th called for focusing on prominent issues of concern to enterprises and implementing a series of practical measures in expanding access, clearing bottlenecks, and strengthening guarantees. The National Development and Reform Commission recently stated that it will urgently study and introduce policies and measures to promote the development of private investment, improve the long-term mechanism for private enterprises to participate in major national project construction, and set minimum requirements for the proportion of private investment participation in major projects such as railways, nuclear power, and oil and gas pipelines. With the continuous release of various policy effects, private investment will play an important role in more fields. (New Society)
