The region's online game service industry between January and February achieved a revenue of 221 million yuan, a year-on-year growth of 5.5 times, and the operating revenue of science and technology promotion and application services above designated size reached 493 million yuan during the period, up 23.6 percent year-on-year.

In the first quarter, the added value of Xinjiang's primary industry and the tertiary industry totaled 11.02 billion yuan and 184.61 billion yuan, down 1.3 percent and 0.4 percent year-on-year, respectively; while the added value of the secondary industry was 109.92 billion yuan, up 0.2 percent year-on-year.
