On July 20th, Tao Qing, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Director of the Bureau of Operation Monitoring and Coordination, stated that the Ministry will accelerate the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry," focusing its efforts on building "innovative medicine," "digital medicine," "inclusive medicine," and "open medicine," accelerating progress in the new field of biomedicine. The Ministry will continue to strengthen research on original technologies and key core technologies, leveraging artificial intelligence to comprehensively empower industrial development. It will also strengthen drug security for key groups such as the elderly, children, and patients with rare diseases, striving to ensure that every patient can access, afford, and effectively use medications, allowing more high-quality and innovative drugs made in China to benefit patients worldwide more quickly.On July 20th, Wang Weiming, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the next step is to comprehensively ensure stable industrial operation, strengthen technological breakthroughs, and promote the application of equipment, fully driving the transformation and upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry. First, promote steady growth in the industry. Closely adhere to the "15th Five-Year Plan" national outline, implement various overall plans, and effectively publicize and implement the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry." Continue to implement a new round of work plans for stabilizing growth in industries such as machinery, automobiles, and power equipment, comprehensively expanding high-quality supply and effective demand. Second, accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies. Coordinate the reconstruction of the industrial base and major technological equipment breakthrough projects, strengthen strengths, address weaknesses, and enhance the foundation, achieving breakthroughs in a number of landmark products and continuously improving the resilience and security level of key industrial and supply chains. Third, accelerate the promotion and application of domestically produced equipment. Deepen the supply and demand matching in industries such as industrial machine tools, intelligent robots, and medical equipment, and accelerate the promotion and application of the first (set) of major technological equipment. Conduct activities to promote new energy vehicles in rural areas, continue to carry out pilot projects for the application, access, and road access of intelligent connected vehicles "vehicle-road-cloud integration," and activate the consumption potential of the bulk commodity market.On July 20, Tao Qing, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Bureau of Operation Monitoring and Coordination, stated at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that 38 innovative drugs were approved for marketing in the first half of this year, of which 31 were domestically produced, accounting for over 80%. The licensing of innovative drug technologies to foreign entities reached a new high, with total transactions exceeding US$100 billion in the first half of the year.July 20 - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) will prioritize the planning and construction of next-generation communication networks as a key driver of the information and communication industrys development, focusing on three key areas. First, we must focus on network construction and deployment, comprehensively promote the construction of basic networks, space networks, international networks, and converged networks, promote the large-scale commercial use of 5G 10-gigabit optical networks, continuously increase the reach of international submarine cables, accelerate the construction of new industrial networks, and form an infrastructure system that meets the needs of the intelligent economy and intelligent society. Second, we must focus on industrial support and empowerment, strengthen innovation and research on core technologies such as 6G mobile communication, optical communication, submarine optical cables, and satellite communication, accelerate the development of related products, support the high-quality construction and deployment of the next-generation communication network, highlight the leading role of enterprises in technological innovation, give full play to the role of industrial platforms, research institutes, and industry associations, and achieve efficient synergy between the innovation chain and the industrial chain. Third, we must focus on application innovation and promotion, deepen the application of 5G and gigabit optical networks in key industries, innovate new application scenarios and application models, deepen the integration and development of brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and intelligent connected vehicles with 5G, 6G, satellite, and the Internet, give full play to the supporting role of the digital foundation of the next-generation communication network, and collaboratively empower the integrated application innovation of water networks, new power grids, urban underground pipe networks, and logistics networks.On July 20th, Xie Cun, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Director of the Information and Communications Administration, stated that as of the end of June, the number of 5G base stations reached 5.102 million, and the number of 10GPON ports with gigabit network service capabilities reached 32.86 million. The construction of 5G-A commercial networks is being actively promoted, with 10-gigabit optical networks being piloted in residential communities, factories, and industrial parks. The types of 5G-based smart terminals are continuously expanding, with AI-powered mobile phones and computers, smart robots, AI glasses, and AI toys becoming new hotspots for information consumption. Licenses for the use of 6GHz frequency bands for 6G trials have been approved, accelerating the second phase of 6G technology trials. The level of openness and development has steadily improved. Pilot programs to expand the opening up of value-added telecommunications services have been implemented, attracting and utilizing foreign investment with significant results. As of now, the number of foreign-invested telecommunications enterprises has reached 3,219, a 23.9% increase compared to the same period last year.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
