　　Investment in the central budget is the central fiscal construction funds used for fixed asset investment, which can be used for new construction, expansion, reconstruction, technological transformation, etc. The arrangements include direct investment, capital injection, investment subsidies, and loan interest discounts.

As part of government investment, investment within the central budget has always attracted attention.

　　In recent years, the scale of investment within the central budget has continued to increase.

The data shows that the investment scale in the central budget in 2021 is 610 billion yuan, an increase of about 40% compared to 2013. It is mainly invested in social welfare services, public infrastructure, agriculture and rural areas, ecological environmental protection and restoration, major technological progress, social management, and compliance.

How to use the limited funds well and out of the level?

　　Bai Jingming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences, said that as my country’s investment and financing system reforms continue to deepen, significant results have been achieved in promoting the marketization of factor allocation and implementing the status of corporate investment subjects. In recent years, corporate investment has accounted for about 95% of the total social fixed asset investment. , The proportion of private investment remains above 60%.

Compared with corporate investment, investment in the central budget is mainly used to concentrate efforts on major, difficult, and urgent matters at the national level, especially in areas where the market cannot effectively allocate resources at this stage, mainly non-operating projects.

　　Bai Jingming further pointed out that, from the perspective of the direction, investment within the central budget focuses on making up for shortcomings, adjusting the structure, and emphasizing the role of improving infrastructure supply capacity and optimizing infrastructure supply structure in promoting high-quality development.

In this process, the government is not singing a "one-man show". The investment within the central budget can give full play to the guiding and leading role, encourage social funds to invest in related fields, and form a benign interaction with corporate investment.

　　Among the investment directions within the central budget this year, the transformation of old communities in cities and towns is one of the key points.

"Our community has been around for a long time and there are many problems. This renovation has brought about a lot of changes, especially the problems of blocked sewers, messy greenery, and insufficient parking spaces that have plagued me before, all have been well resolved." Tan Li Hongxue, who lives in Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan, was very satisfied with the new upgrade of the community infrastructure.

　　Since the beginning of this year, Changsha City has taken multiple measures to strengthen the capital guarantee for the renovation of old urban communities and supporting construction.

In 2021, Changsha will strive for an investment of 264 million yuan within the central budget, which will drive the total annual investment of 1.572 billion yuan in the renovation of old communities.

Up to now, 367 old community reconstruction projects in cities and towns have been started, benefiting more than 50,000 households.

According to Zhou Fei, director of the Changsha Urban Human Settlements and Environment Bureau, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Changsha plans to invest about 14.4 billion yuan to basically complete the transformation of 1,816 old communities in cities and towns that need to be renovated before the end of 2000, benefiting 270,000 residents. Household.

　　Strictly standardized management of projects and funds

　　——This year, the National Development and Reform Commission has issued more than 20 special management measures for investment within the central budget, covering areas such as ecological protection and restoration, and affordable rental housing

　　Next, how to further play the role of investment within the central budget?

　　Recently, a series of policy documents have been intensively released to make arrangements for work in various fields for a period of time in the future. Among them, "central budget investment" is one of the key words: to adapt to the funding needs for the development of aging undertakings for a period of time, continue to increase investment in the central budget Support; continue to arrange investment in the central budget to ensure the investment in rural environmental improvement; investment in the central budget will favor the construction of infrastructure and basic public service facilities in key ecological function areas; through investment in the central budget and green bond issuance by enterprises, etc. Support the resource utilization and harmless treatment of kitchen waste, and guide social capital to actively participate...

　　Bai Jingming believes that in the specific process of advancement, since the investment in the central budget is mainly invested in infrastructure and public welfare fields related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, the general investment scale is large, there are many coordination factors, and the construction conditions are complicated. The investment management system and management methods should be continuously improved. Straighten out management responsibilities in accordance with the law, improve management capabilities, tighten standardized management of projects and funds, and strengthen rigid constraints on investment management.

　　In terms of fund management, from August 1 this year, the "Administrative Measures for the Project Management of Investment Capital in the Central Budget" came into effect.

So far, the four statutory central budget arrangements for investment funds, direct investment, capital injection, investment subsidies, and loan interest discounts, have corresponding project management methods.

The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that the "Measures" have filled up the gap in the management of the investment capital in the central budget for the project management system. Together with the Project Management Measures, a government investment management system has been established with the "Government Investment Regulations" as the leader, departmental regulations as supporting facilities, and related regulatory documents as the support.

　　In specific areas, more and more special management measures have been expedited.

The reporter found out that in this year alone, the National Development and Reform Commission has issued more than 20 special management measures for investment within the central budget, covering ecological protection and restoration, urban and rural cold chains and the construction of national logistics hubs, guaranteed rental housing, food and other important agricultural products. Storage facilities, education power promotion project (the direction of public training base construction) and many other fields.

　　"Investment in the central budget should grasp the boundary of'doing something, not doing something', further handle the relationship with enterprise investment, and insist on creating necessary infrastructure and external environmental conditions for enterprise investment." Bai Jingming said, my country's development At this stage, the investment demand potential is still huge, and the key is to select the right fields and projects.

In the process of self-investment, it is necessary to focus more on key areas and conduct scientific demonstration of projects to ensure a certain expenditure intensity, further accelerate the expenditure progress, improve efficiency, stimulate the vitality of social investment, and continuously increase effective investment.
