Xizang aims for steady economic growth this year

The Xizang autonomous region is expected to witness high-quality development and steady economic growth this year, said Yan Jinhai, chairman of the regional government, on Sunday.

In 2024, the region aims to achieve GDP growth of 8 percent and total fixed-asset investment growth of 13 percent.

Also this year, the income growth of urban residents of the region will be in sync with economic growth, and the income of rural residents will grow faster than that of urban residents, Yan said. He added that the region's consumer price index will be kept below 3 percent, and the surveyed jobless rate in urban areas below 5 percent.
