China on Tuesday revised its GDP (gross domestic product) figure for 2004 to
15.9878 trillion yuan (about 2 trillion U.S. dollars), up 2.3 trillion yuan, or
16.8 percent from the preliminary figures.
The country's top statistician Li Deshui made the announcement at a press
conference of the Information Office of the State Council, citing the result of
a national economic survey.
The value-added of the tertiary industry was 6.5018 trillion yuan, 2.1297
trillion more than the annual preliminary estimation announced earlier this
year. And the industry's share in the GDP rose from the earlier estimated 31.9
percent to 40.7 percent, an increase of 8.8 percentage points.
The increase of service sector output accounted for the largest part, or 93
percent, of that of the GDP.
The value-added of the secondary industry was 7.3904 trillion yuan in 2004,
151.7 billion more than the original data, while the industry's share in the GDP
shrank from the preliminarily estimated 52.9 percent to 46.2 percent, a drop of
6.7 percentage points.
Li said the share of the primary industry was still based on the figure from
the annual preliminary estimation, as the industry was not covered in the
survey.
The value-added of the primary industry was 2.0956 trillion yuan, and the
industry's share in the GDP was 13.1 percent, 2.1 percentage points lower than
the preliminary figures.
