China News Service, May 24th, Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said on the 24th that since the reform and opening up, China's "Government Work Report" has not mentioned the annual growth target. This year is the fourth time, and the first three were 2000 , 2001 and 2002. The specific target for economic growth was not put forward this year, mainly because the global epidemic situation and the economic and trade situation are very uncertain. China ’s development faces some unpredictable factors. "Failure to increase the specific target of economic growth does not mean that economic growth is unimportant. "
On May 24, the State Development and Reform Office held a press conference, and asked Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, to give a solid introduction to the work of "six stability" and "six guarantees", and strive to complete the annual economic and social development goals and tasks. The reporter asked.
A reporter asked: The 2020 economic growth target has not been set, which is relatively rare in China's history. May I ask, which year was the economic growth target not set last time? In addition, with China's economy facing unprecedented challenges, how can China ensure the achievement of its economic and social development goals and tasks this year?
Ning Jizhe said that he did not mention specific targets in the "Government Work Report," which is not the first time. The fact is that since the reform and opening up, China's "Government Work Report" does not mention the annual growth target. This year is the fourth time, and the first three are 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Ning Jizhe pointed out that the specific target for economic growth was not proposed this year, mainly because the global epidemic situation and the economic and trade situation are highly uncertain, and China's development faces some unpredictable factors. The development goal set out in the "Government Work Report" is "Priority to stabilize employment and protect people's livelihood, resolutely win the battle against poverty, and strive to achieve the goal of fully building a well-off society." This shows that our development goal is for the people's livelihood, the priority of employment, the key goal task of overcoming difficulties, the first of the three major battles to overcome poverty, and the year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. The link between the development goals and the first 100-year goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Ning Jizhe introduced that the lack of specific targets for economic growth this time does not mean that economic growth is unimportant. It should be seen that whether it is to protect people's livelihood, employment, or get rid of poverty, it must be supported by economic growth. Measures to stabilize employment, protect people's livelihood, promote consumption, boost the market and stabilize growth. Therefore, although the GDP growth target is not directly mentioned, the content of economic growth has been integrated into other economic and social development targets.
On the question of how to achieve the goal, Ning Jizhe pointed out that since this year, the domestic and international environments we face are extremely unusual. The impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been unprecedented, and the challenges facing economic development are unprecedented. At the same time, after the crisis has come to an end, the crisis has come, and after the domestic epidemic situation is basically blocked, the momentum of China's economic recovery is stable and improving. In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will do a good job in the "six stability" work, fully implement the "six guarantees" work, in order to ensure stability, make progress in stability, strive to achieve the annual economic and social development goals and tasks, and achieve "six enhancements" :
One is to strengthen employment and people's livelihood. The primary goal of our development this year is to prioritize employment and protect people's livelihood, focusing on key groups such as college graduates, migrant workers, and labor in poor areas. For the 8.74 million college graduates this year, we will implement enterprise expansion, postgraduate expansion, and grassroots employment expansion, and take advantage of the multiplier effect of entrepreneurship to promote employment. We will implement public employment services for more than 200 million migrant workers and tens of millions of poor areas of labor. (Including migrant workers) often covered, full coverage, and as far as possible in the construction of public infrastructure to attract rural laborers to find employment nearby. With employment, there is income, and the people's livelihood can be guaranteed and improved overall.
The second is to strengthen poverty alleviation. Resolutely winning the fight against poverty is a heavy goal and a hard task for development this year. The focus is on increasing poverty alleviation such as employment, industry, and consumption. We must promote poverty alleviation through investment and construction. Overcoming the impact of the epidemic, accelerating the efforts to start and resume work on poverty alleviation projects, and expanding the scope and beneficiaries of the work-for-relief construction field, the National Development and Reform Commission has issued funds for work-for-relief in 2020 in batches. The National Development and Reform Commission is responsible for poverty alleviation and relocation in the ex situ. Last year, the tasks of the “13th Five-Year Plan” were basically completed one year ahead of schedule. This year, we will refine and implement the follow-up support measures to complement the large-scale resettlement areas with supporting education and medical facilities. Weak board, consolidate the results of poverty alleviation.
The third is to strengthen policy hedging. Implement a more proactive and positive fiscal policy and a more flexible and moderately stable monetary policy, and work with employment priority policies, consumption incentive policies, short-board investment policies, structural industrial policies, differentiated regional policies and market-oriented price policies. Form a joint force to effectively counteract the impact of the epidemic.
Fourth, strengthen domestic demand support. It is necessary to deepen the structural reform on the supply side, firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, expand consumption, promote investment, and expand large markets in urban and rural areas. Relying on 1.4 billion people, including more than 400 million middle-income groups, the traditional consumption and the emerging consumption are flying together. In terms of investment, it is necessary to make good use of the 600 billion budget investment, 3.75 trillion local government special bonds, hundreds of billions of special anti-epidemic government bonds, and more financial funds and social capital to speed up shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and promote traditional investment And new investment both exert force. In terms of urbanization, this year we will promote the completion of the goal of 100 million non-registered population settled in cities, start construction of 39,000 old urban communities, and support about 100 counties and county-level cities to carry out demonstrations of new urbanization in counties.
Fifth, strengthen enterprise support. Accelerate the implementation of the policy of aid to enterprises that has been issued, vigorously implement a series of new policies for aid to enterprises proposed in the "Government Work Report", and do everything possible to help 100 million market players, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households to resume production and business, and strengthen employment security 1. The micro foundation for steady growth.
Sixth, strengthen reform and opening up. Implement the two major reform documents issued recently: "Opinions on Accelerating the Perfection of the Socialist Market Economic System in the New Era" and "Opinions on the Construction of a More Perfect Market-Oriented System of Factors", and deepen the reform of "delegating services" To optimize the business environment and further liberate and develop social productivity. It is necessary to promote the construction of a new open economic system at a higher level, and to implement comprehensive opening up in a wider area, in a wider area, and at a deeper level.
