Economic Analysis of Shanghai’s Lockdown During COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant economic impact worldwide, and Shanghai, China’s largest city, has not been an exception. The city experienced an extensive lockdown lasting over two months, marking a notable event in its urban history. Recent reports indicate gradual recovery efforts in China, including Shanghai, to stabilize the economy and rejuvenate urban commerce and employment. Shanghai’s economic performance in the second quarter of the year provides insights into the lockdown’s impact.

Official data from the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Statistics reveals a 27.6% decrease in the industrial output value of large-scale industrial enterprises in May 2022 compared to the previous year. The export delivery value of these enterprises also declined by 19.6%. Investment trends showed a downturn in various sectors. From January to May, fixed-asset investment in Shanghai fell by 21.2%. This decline spanned across urban infrastructure, industrial investment, and real estate development. Notably, primary industry investment decreased significantly by 57.3%, secondary industry by 22.1%, and tertiary industry by 21.0%.

Consumer spending also experienced a downturn. Retail sales of consumer goods dropped significantly in April and May, reflecting a broader decrease in social consumption. The sales of various consumer categories, including food products, clothing, usable products, and fuel, all showed notable decreases. The automotive sector particularly experienced a sharp decline in new vehicle sales. Shanghai, being a key player in foreign trade, saw its import and export volume significantly reduce in April. The city’s largest container port also reported a decrease in throughput compared to the previous year.

Price trends in May showed a 4.6% rise in consumer prices. Notable increases were seen in daily necessities such as vegetables, edible fungi, and eggs. However, this rise also accompanied a decrease in consumption of certain commodities due to the lockdown. Analysis by the macro research team at ANBOUND highlights that the economic decline in Shanghai during the first five months of the year was more severe than the initial COVID-19 impact in early 2020. This downturn, attributed to the lockdown, raises considerations about the economic consequences of such public health measures.

It’s suggested that future policy decisions in Shanghai, and by extension in similar urban contexts, should balance public health measures with their economic implications, especially considering the substantial costs borne by businesses and the general population during the lockdown period.
