Local fiscal revenue "stabilizes in the East and accelerates in the West". This year, expenditures will focus on supporting technological innovation and improving people's livelihoods.

In 2025, the national fiscal revenue and expenditure showed an overall stable and structurally optimized trend, with 27 provinces achieving positive growth in general public budget revenue. Securities Times reporters found in the budget reports and fiscal revenue and expenditure data for the full year of 2025 released by various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government that over the past year, the economically developed provinces in the east continued to play a role in supporting fiscal expenditures, while fiscal revenues in the western and northeastern regions saw significant improvement. Although many budget reports pointed out that the pressure to balance fiscal revenue and expenditure still exists in 2026, it is generally expected that fiscal revenue will continue to grow steadily, with most provinces setting their target for general public budget revenue growth in 2026 in the range of 2% to 3%. In the new year, financial resources in various regions will further tilt towards key areas such as technological innovation, guaranteeing people's livelihoods, and upgrading industries.
