URUMQI - The commerce department of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region said the investment from outside the region has seen robust growth in the first half of 2022.
A combined investment of nearly 355.3 billion yuan ($52.7 billion) was attracted to the region, up 37 percent year-on-year, the department said.
The regional commerce department said Xinjiang's performance in attracting investment in the first six months was attributable to market-oriented means by various departments and innovative investment promotion measures.
The department added that it will continue to improve Xinjiang's investment environment and promote the upgrading of the region's industries.
