在推动经济高质量发展、构建双循环新发展格局的背景下,加快建设国际消费中心城市,扩大居民消费和推动消费升级,对促进国民经济和社会发展具有长期性、战略性的特殊意义,也是一座城市全面提升城市软实力和国际影响力的重大机遇。
济南加快建设国际消费中心城市的意义不言而喻。
2021年,盒马鲜生济南首店开业,市民尝鲜“打卡”、人潮涌动购物的照片,又一次刷爆朋友圈。近年来,这样的“火爆”场景,在济南并不陌生。山东首个宜家家居2017年济南开业,至今人气不减;新生代头部品牌连锁企业便利蜂2019年入济,并迅速扩张,成为引领“白领”消费的新潮流;2020年,全球连锁便利店品牌7-ELEVEn进驻济南,为泉城市民提供了更加国际化的购物体验;还有山东首家山姆会员店、日本最大免税店乐购仕(LAOX)全国首家跨境电商首店等知名品牌落户济南,引领新一轮的消费与时尚潮流。今年,济南将引进品牌首店50家以上,使济南成为国内外知名品牌的重要聚集地。
作为引领城市消费趋势的风向标,也是创建国际消费中心城市的重要发力点,“首店经济”反映出了一座城市的资源聚集能力、消费市场的敏锐度和成熟度,折射出营商环境的舒适度和开放度,毫无疑问已经成为挖掘消费潜力、激发市场热情的利器。
而随着济南培育建设国际消费中心城市战略的不断加码,商圈经濟、夜间经济等新兴消费热点也蓬勃而生:特色文化街区的打造及“泉城夜宴”等项目的开发,不仅更好满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要,也形成了新的消费经济增长点;“泉城风尚”国际时装等活动的举办让古老的济南,洋溢着潮流的味道,并把时尚文化转化为消费升级和产业转型的纽带;华熙生物、瑷尔博士、半亩花田、世纪开元、韩都衣舍等一批“济南出品”的新消费品牌持续走红,支撑着济南培育建设国际消费中心城市的宏大目标……
“国际”是方向,“消费”是核心,随着经济结构的持续优化和实力的不断提升,济南正在向国际消费中心城市的目标大步前进。
