Yu Weining said.

From January to April, profits in the consumer goods manufacturing industry increased by 12.0% from a year earlier, 1.1 percentage points faster than in January-March.

Luo Yingyi, a senior researcher at Guangkai Chief Industrial Research Institute, told Interface News that in the future, with the steady recovery of the economy, the promotion of the policy of upgrading equipment and consumer goods, and the continuous development of new quality productivity, the process of transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry has been accelerated, and the level of superimposed inflation has been moderately repaired, and the profits of industrial enterprises are expected to further improve.
Wen Bin, chief economist of China Minsheng Bank, said in the research report that in the future, industrial profits are still possible for the better. Prior to this, the State Council, various ministries and commissions, and some provinces and cities have issued action plans to "promote large-scale equipment upgrading and promote the trade-in of consumer goods", aimed at boosting investment and durable goods consumption. With the strong promotion of the policy, it plays a positive role in boosting the confidence of industrial enterprises and consolidating the foundation of industrial economic recovery.

In addition, last year's industrial profit base was low first and then high, which may limit the room for subsequent industrial enterprises to pick up profits.
