Economy of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region: quality development course

The article discusses the course towards quality development of the Chinese economy, which provides departure from the “race for numbers” and emphasis on the quality indicators of economic development and welfare of the population. The alignment of economic dynamics, search for new growth drivers, and optimization of the production structure are the priority tasks in implementing this course in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. We have come to the conclusion that the leading industries defined at the beginning of the 21st century, despite their high resource intensity remain priority for Inner Mongolia. The course towards quality economic development of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region sets the tasks for extension of production chains, encouragement of research at enterprises, search for innovative ways to upgrade priority sectors (energy, coal industry, agricultural processing, etc.).
