"Gold content" is higher

Behind the total economic volume of nearly 100 trillion, the quality is improving

　　On June 1 this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port."

100 days after the announcement of the plan, Hainan added more than 89,000 market players.

In the 88 days after Hainan implemented the new policy for duty-free shopping on outlying islands, the island’s duty-free sales reached 8.3 billion yuan.

　　The continuous release of the Hainan Free Trade Port's development dividend is a vivid epitome of the vigorous development of China's economy during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.

　　From 2016 to 2019, China's economic aggregate has grown from a breakthrough of 70 trillion yuan to nearly 100 trillion yuan, and the economic growth rate has always remained above 6%, accounting for 16% of the global economy and contributing 30% to world economic growth. %about.

At the same time, as the first major economy to resume growth since the outbreak, the influence of the Chinese economy in the world is also increasing.

　　While the economic strength has risen sharply, China's economic structure has continued to be optimized, quality and efficiency have been steadily improved, and the "golden content" of economic development has increased.

　　In 2019, my country's total retail sales of consumer goods reached 41.2 trillion yuan, which has become the world's largest market, and the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth has remained at around 60%.

In 2019, the added value of high-tech industries above designated size accounted for 14.4%, and the added value of the service industry accounted for 53.9% of GDP.

With the emergence of a large number of innovative achievements, new economic momentum is constantly emerging.

　　Feng Qiaobin, deputy director of the Macroeconomic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said in an exclusive interview with People's Daily Online that among the 25 main indicators identified in the "Outline" of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the urbanization rate of the permanent population and the invention patents per 10,000 population Indicators such as the number of possessions have been achieved ahead of schedule, and most of the other indicators are also close to completion and progress steadily.

　　"More importantly, the pace of economic transformation and upgrading is accelerating, and the mode of development has gradually shifted from scale and speed to quality and efficiency. The increase in the proportion of added value in the service industry is the best example. As innovation and entrepreneurship become common in society, the future The further transformation and upgrading of China's economy has confidence and momentum." Feng Qiaobin said.

　　Pan Helin, executive dean and professor of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, also believed in an exclusive interview with People's Daily Online that the continuous deepening of the concept of high-quality development will lead the continuous optimization of China's economic structure, innovation-driven development and the construction of an open economy It has become an important highlight of China's economic development during the 13th Five-Year Plan.

More sense of gain

Per capita GDP exceeds 10,000 U.S. dollars, and there is a big livelihood in the "pocket"

　　In Yunshan Village, Zhutang Township, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan, along a flat cement road, brick-concrete structure tiles are neatly arranged, trees and flowers on both sides of the road are lush and lush, and melons and fruits fragrant from the front and the house. Under the cover of the green mountains and green waters, the picture of the beautiful countryside unfolds.

　　From "less, mountain, poor", mountainous areas with a poverty rate of up to 70% directly past ethnically concentrated villages, to a new model of "infrastructure + industrial development + quality improvement" for east-west collaborative poverty alleviation, in China, more and more " "Yunshan Village" went from being poor and backward to being beautiful and livable.

　　During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, decisive results have been achieved in the fight against poverty: more than 50 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and the per capita net income of poverty-stricken households nationwide has increased from 3,416 yuan in 2015 to 9,808 yuan in 2019.

　　In 2019, my country's per capita GDP exceeded US$10,000, and the national per capita disposable income of residents reached 30,733 yuan, an increase of 39.9% over 2015. The scale of the middle-income group continued to expand.

　　While income has increased, the concept of "Great People's Livelihood" has continued to deepen.

　　During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country vigorously implemented the employment priority policy. From 2016 to 2019, the total number of new jobs in urban areas reached 53.78 million. The number of people participating in pension, medical, unemployment, work-related injury and maternity insurance continued to increase, and the construction of affordable housing projects accelerated Advance.

　　In 2019, the proportion of good days in 337 cities at prefecture-level and above nationwide was 82%. Among the 337 cities monitored at prefecture-level and above, 46.6% of the cities had air quality up to standard, an increase of 25 percentage points from 2015.

As of the end of 2019, the "13th Five-Year Plan" has clearly defined 9 binding indicators in the field of ecological and environmental protection, and 7 of them have completed their target tasks ahead of schedule.

　　During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, with the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the regional coordinated development strategy, the income levels of rural residents and residents in the central and western regions of my country have continued to increase, and the ratio of urban and rural residents' income has shrunk from 2.73 in 2015 to 2.64 in 2019.

　　Pan Helin believes that in an environment where there are more instabilities and uncertainties around the world and the international economy is facing downward pressure, China has stabilized the basic income of the people's livelihood by fighting poverty and stabilizing employment.

At the same time, it actively promoted the construction of public service systems such as medical treatment and education, which effectively improved the living standards and happiness of the Chinese people.

　　"The continuous improvement of people's livelihood and well-being during the 13th Five-Year Plan period has benefited from the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core insisting on putting the people at the center and advancing reforms and formulating policies based on the people's happiness and sense of gain. Thanks to the development dividends brought by China's economic transformation and upgrading and the hardworking and pragmatic practice of the Chinese people." Feng Qiaobin said.

The concept is further deepened

Respect the law of the flow of elements and steadily promote high-quality development

　　On August 24 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium of experts in the economic and social fields and delivered an important speech.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that theory is derived from practice and is used to guide practice.

Since the reform and opening up, we have promptly summarized new and vivid practices, and continuously promoted theoretical innovation, focusing on major issues such as development concepts, ownership, distribution systems, government functions, market mechanisms, macro-control, industrial structure, corporate governance structure, people’s livelihood security, and social governance. Many important conclusions were made.

　　Looking back at the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the salient feature of my country's economic development is entering a new normal.

　　Under the new normal, the main characteristics of my country’s economic development are: the growth rate must be shifted from high-speed to medium-high-speed, the mode of development must be shifted from scale and speed to quality and efficiency, and economic restructuring must shift from incremental capacity expansion to inventory adjustment and optimization. Simultaneously increasing the growth rate, the development momentum should shift from relying mainly on resource and low-cost labor input to innovation-driven.

　　The development process of these five years has witnessed the further deepening of our understanding of the regularity of economic and social development.

　　Under the guidance of the people-centered development ideology, adhere to the implementation of the new development concept, and pay more attention to the coordination and sustainability of development: the continuous optimization of the industrial structure, the accelerated implementation of the coordinated development strategy of major regions, the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, and the new pattern of free trade The pilot area was expanded to 21, and the pace of reform and opening up continued to accelerate.

　　Feng Qiaobin believes that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China's economy has shifted from high-speed to medium-high growth. Under the changing objective situation, the Party Central Committee has further deepened its understanding of the laws of economic and social development and proposed to promote high-quality development.

At the same time, the overall domestic and international situation was coordinated, and a high-level opening up was promoted to gradually achieve higher-quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development.

　　In April of this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Building a More Complete System and Mechanism for the Market-based Allocation of Factors", which clearly stated that the independent and orderly flow of factors should be promoted.

Feng Qiaobin believes that respect for the law of independent flow of factors reflects China's firm determination to further stimulate the creativity and economic vitality of the whole society, and promote the quality, efficiency, and dynamic changes of economic development.

　　"At the same time, throughout the 13th Five-Year Plan period, we have a deeper understanding of the relationship between the government and the market. Especially in the process of resolutely winning the fight against the epidemic, we have once again seen China's effective market and promising The important role of the government in concerted efforts." Feng Qiaobin said.
