Data released by the China Federation of Commerce on the 6th showed that in April, China's retail industry prosperity index (CRPI) was 50.5%, up 0.3 percentage points month-on-month, maintaining operation in the expansion range. Among them, the commodity business index was 50.1%, up 0.2 percentage points month-on-month, returning to the expansion range; the leasing business index was 52.7%, up 1.3 percentage points month-on-month, maintaining the mid-to-high economic range; the e-commerce business index was 50.1%, the same as last month.

  Analysts believe that the overall performance of the retail industry in April was improving, the leasing and operating index continued to be high, the e-commerce operating index remained flat, and the commodity operating index rebounded slightly, reflecting that online and offline commodity operating expectations have improved to varying degrees. The scope of new purchases in spring, the expansion of consumer goods trade-in subsidies, and innovative attempts to diversify consumption scenarios are all conducive to commodity management companies to give full play to their offline advantages and expand their operations. New leasing and operating enterprises have opened stores one after another, and existing enterprises are constantly developing with policy support. Lease and operating enterprises are expected to have a better prosperity in April. (Reporter Wang Ke)
