(Interview between the two sessions) Zhang Lianqi, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: the issuance of consumer coupons should be precise, and the intensity can be increased

　　China News Service, Beijing, May 20 (Chang Tao) On the eve of the 2020 National Two Sessions, Zhang Lianqi, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the China Taxation Society, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that the issuance of consumer coupons will promote a rebound in consumption, especially It is to promote the continuous operation of small, medium and micro enterprises, which has produced positive results. Zhang Lianqi suggested that the issuance of consumer coupons should be based on the actual conditions in various places, and should be tailored to local conditions and accurately implemented. At the same time, it should be more vigorous.

　　The new coronary pneumonia epidemic has a great impact on the production and operation of small, medium and micro enterprises. Zhang Lianqi believes that only by promoting consumption can “small and medium-sized enterprises survive”. Small and medium-sized enterprises are currently facing unprecedented pressures, both from cash flow pressures and cost pressures such as wages and rents, but if there is no revenue, they can only be "rice-free cooking."

　　"I think that the promotion of consumption through the issuance of consumer vouchers can promote the continued operation of small and medium-sized enterprises. The small and medium-sized enterprises will survive, and employment will be available; employment will be stable, and income will be available; income will also promote market consumption and constitute a closed loop. "Zhang Lianqi emphasized that the first of the" six stability "is to stabilize employment, and the issuance of consumer coupons is of great significance.

　　On May 8th, the State Council ’s Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism held a press conference. Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Bingnan said that according to preliminary statistics, since the outbreak, 28 provinces and cities and more than 170 prefectures and cities have pooled local government and social funds and issued a total of The consumption vouchers reached more than 19 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), these measures have achieved obvious results, and achieved the goals of focusing popularity, enhancing confidence, and boosting consumption.

　　According to data from Ant Financial, since March, more than 100 cities across the country have issued digital consumer coupons through Alipay. The average "leverage effect" is more than 8 times and the highest is 15 times. That is, every 1 yuan of consumer coupons directly drives 8 yuan of consumption.

　　Regarding the issuance of consumer vouchers, Zhang Lianqi suggested: First, localities should adapt to local conditions and implement precise policies according to local conditions, and cannot engage in "one size fits all"; second, make efforts as much as possible, be more precise, and use the personal income tax system to issue as much as possible To the middle and lower income class. Because for the high-income group, the diminishing marginal effect of consumer coupons does not make much sense; third, all localities should actively practice and cannot wait and see. (Finish)
