The reconstruction of parts of southwest China's Sichuan Province, which was hit by a devastating earthquake in May 2008, has been completed, said Vice Governor Wei Hong on February 24.

Wei said that 99.5 percent of the budget, or 865.8 billion yuan ($137.5 billion), has been invested in post-quake reconstruction efforts, and 99 percent of 29,692 related projects have been completed.

Local governments have helped more than 12 million people in rural and urban areas repair their houses, and have relocated 200,000 farmers who lost their farmland.

According to official statistics, in 2011, the total output value of the six hardest-hit cities and prefectures was almost double that of the pre-quake period, with urban per-capita disposable income growing by 1.7 times and farmers' net income by 1.75 times.

The 2008 quake hit Sichuan and neighboring Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, leaving more than 80,000 people dead or missing and millions of homes destroyed.
