The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference comprehensively analyzed the current domestic and international economic situation, and comprehensively deployed the overall policy thinking, strategic and tactical layout, and various work priorities for economic work in 2021, and strengthened the confidence of the whole party and the people of victory and promoted the economy. Continuous recovery and high-quality development provide scientific guidance and fundamental compliance.
Standing at the intersection of history and having a profound grasp of this year's "extremely extraordinary" can we understand the special importance of doing a good job in next year's economic work.
The sudden global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the worst flood since 1998, and the complex and severe internal and external environment for economic and social development... Faced with arduous challenges and major difficulties, China maintains strategic determination, accurately judges the situation, carefully plans and deploys, and decisively takes Actions, hard work, and an answer to the satisfaction of the people and the attention of the world, which can be recorded in history.
Economic achievements are particularly eye-catching. With a year-on-year decline of 6.8% in the first quarter, China’s economy turned from negative to positive in the second quarter and grew by 3.2% year-on-year. The growth rate in the third quarter accelerated to 4.9%. 0.7%, taking the lead to achieve positive growth, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive growth, injecting strong vitality into the global economy under the impact of the epidemic.
Practice has proved that to deal with severe challenges and do a good job in economic work, the authority of the Party Central Committee is the fundamental support for the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to face difficulties in times of crisis. The fundamental guarantee of majestic power, scientific decision-making and creative response are the fundamental methods to turn crises into opportunities, and technological self-reliance and self-reliance are the fundamental support for the overall development of development.
These hard-won achievements and experience summaries are the confidence and stamina for future development.
But we must also be soberly aware that the foundation of my country's economic recovery is not yet strong enough.
The combination of major changes unseen in a century and the changes in the epidemic will exacerbate the unstable and unbalanced situation of the world economic recovery next year, and intensify the impact of the global industrial chain supply chain due to non-economic factors. Various derivative risks cannot be ignored. Seek development against the wind and water in the external environment.
At the same time, my country is at a critical stage of transforming its economic development mode. Labor costs are rising, resource and environmental constraints are increasing, and the problem of poor economic circulation at home and abroad has become increasingly prominent.
Only by playing the first move, playing the initiative, better coordinating development and security, doing a solid job of "six stability", fully implementing the "six guarantees" task, and scientifically and accurately implementing various policies and measures, can we actively respond to challenges and realize the economy The comprehensive recovery, continuous recovery, and the gradual increase in bright spots.
Today, the bright spots in the economic recovery are gradually increasing, which means that we must not only restore to the original level, but also unswervingly promote high-quality development on the basis of recovery. This is also the theme throughout the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
The Central Economic Work Conference made clear arrangements for the ideas, key points, and tasks for promoting high-quality development, requiring the use of valuable time windows to make a good start for the "14th Five-Year Plan" with high-quality development.
To successfully complete this task, we must firmly hold on to the main line of supply-side structural reform, work from both ends of supply and demand at the same time, achieve dynamic market balance, and expand new space for economic development; we must adhere to reform and opening up as the driving force. Lose no time to promote reforms, smooth the circulation of the national economy through deepening reforms, further promote high-level institutional opening, and create new international cooperation and competitive advantages; innovation must be firmly placed at the core of China’s modernization drive, giving full play to advantages and cohesive strength to strengthen the country Strategic scientific and technological forces stimulate talent innovation vitality, improve scientific and technological innovation systems and mechanisms, and provide scientific and technological support for promoting high-quality development.
Forge ahead on the new journey that is about to start in 2021. We will be able to move forward step by step along the established development goals and ensure that the "14th Five-Year Plan" starts well and celebrate with excellent results. The 100th anniversary of the founding of the party.
