Tianjin has unveiled its main objectives for economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026–30), aiming for a steady and quality-driven growth trajectory.

The city seeks to achieve a 4.5 percent annual growth rate in gross domestic product (GDP), reflecting its commitment to stable expansion while deepening reforms.

Fiscal sustainability remains a priority, with a general public budget revenue growth target of 2 percent. Fixed-asset investment will focus on improving quality and efficiency.

Employment and social stability are central to the plan. Tianjin will strive to keep the urban surveyed unemployment rate around 5.5 percent, while creating 280,000 new urban jobs. Price stability is also emphasized, with the consumer price index expected to rise by about 2 percent, within the realm of manageable inflation.

Efforts will be made to ensure resident incomes grow alongside GDP, reinforcing inclusive development. Environmental sustainability is embedded within the plan, with targets for energy conservation, emissions reduction, pollution control, and carbon mitigation set to meet national mandates.
