Financial Highlights and Key Performance Index Notes: Five Years Summary Financial Information For the year ended 31 December 2023(Expressed in Renminbi ("RMB")) Chairman’s Statement CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Onbehalf of the board(the“Board”)of directors(the“Directors”) of Century Ginwa Retail Holdings Limited (the“Company”), I would like to present the audited results of theCompany and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended31 December 2023. BUSINESS REVIEW 47.157.2%3.4% Looking back at the year past, the loosening of the epidemicsituation at the beginning of the year spurred rapid growthinthe consumer market.However,due to the changingconsumption habits during the epidemic period, and increasingrationality and “quality-to-cost” consciousness of consumers,the consumption intensity gradually declined after a shortperiod of rapid growth. In 2023, the total retail sales of socialconsumer goods reached RMB47.15 trillion, representing ayear-on-year growth of 7.2%, which reached a record high,and consumption became the main powerhouse of economicgrowth. However, the high quarter-on-quarter growth wasbased on a low base in 2022, with combined growth of only3.4% over the two years. The overall domestic consumermarket is still experiencing a weak recovery. Rational anddiversified consumer demand will become the new drivingforce behind the sustained growth of the consumer market. Atthe same time, with the support of various favorable policiespromulgated by the government, consumption will remain thekey driving force for the economic growth in 2024. In 2023, the Company still adhered to the mission of “creatingan ideal community for city life” and maintained the valuesof “customer first, dedicated service and good pursuance” atall times. The Company devoted itself into exploring the Xi’anand Xianyang markets. Meanwhile, the Company’s overallenhancement in trade and investment attraction, operation,service and management capabilities resulted in an obviousupward development momentum of the Company.
