The target for current-year GDP growth in Ruian – a county-level city administered by Wenzhou in East China's Zhejiang province – has been set at 7 percent, according to the city's 2022 working goals recently issued by the local government at the Ruian two sessions.

The revenue for the general public budget is projected to increase by 9 percent, while fixed asset investment above a designated size – those with planned investment of more than 5 million yuan ($789,000) – is seen increasing by over 10 percent during the period.

Meanwhile, total retail sales of consumer goods is predicted to increase by 8 percent and foreign exports are projected to rise by 6 percent.

The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents is expected to go up by 7.5 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively.

In order to achieve these goals, Ruian will focus on advanced manufacturing and modern services development, corporate incubations, scientific technology and innovation, attracting key projects, as well as urban and rural construction.
