Fast Development

Through construction over the past five decades, especially the last 20-odd years of reform and opening up, the Tibetan economy has gradually evolved from a structure dependent on "blood transfusion" to one capable of "producing blood." In 1988, the "zero" record in local financial revenue was broken. Tibet's financial revenue exceeded 100 million yuan in 1992 and approached 200 million yuan the next year. Tibet's financial revenues reached 1.199 billion yuan in 2004, a rise of 19.5 percent over the previous year. This includes ordinary budgeted income amounting to 1.002 billion yuan, up 22.9 percent. Of the ordinary budgeted income, the added value rose by 14.5 percent, business tax 8.5 percent, and local financial income as a percentage of local financial revenues was 5.7 percent.

 

 

 

Tibet's GDP reached 21.154 billion yuan in 2004; when calculated in accordance with comparable prices, it meant a 12.2 percent increase from the previous year. Of this, the added value of the primary sector was 4.333 billion yuan, up 4.9 percent; that of secondary industry 5.761 billion yuan, up 17.4 percent; and that of the tertiary sector 11.06 billion yuan, up 12.8 percent. The per-capita GDP reached 7,779 yuan. Of the GDP of Tibet, the proportion of the added value of the three sectors was 20.5 percent, 27.2 percent and 52.3 percent respectively. The figures represented a fall of 1.5 percentage points for primary industry, and an increase of 1.2 and 0.3 percentage points for the secondary and tertiary sectors.
