——Implementation of Quantitative Indicators in the 2021 "Government Work Report" (1)
The total economic volume has risen to a higher level
In 2021, the gross domestic product (GDP) will be 114.367 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.1% over the previous year at constant prices, higher than the expected target of more than 6%, and a good start to the "14th Five-Year Plan".
The total economic volume has exceeded 110 trillion yuan, which means that my country's comprehensive national strength, social productivity, and people's living standards have been further improved. It also means that my country's development has a firmer foundation, better conditions, and more motivation. China will contribute more to global development. strength.
Overall, my country's economic scale will further expand in 2021, the output of major industrial and agricultural products will continue to rank among the top in the world, the output of more than 220 major industrial products will rank first in the world, and the international influence will be further expanded.
However, it should also be noted that my country's economic development is currently facing triple pressures of shrinking demand, supply shock, and weakening expectations. It is necessary to further base itself on the new development stage, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and keep the economy operating at a reasonable level. range, and promote the high-quality development of my country's economy.

Remarkable effect of energy saving and emission reduction
In 2021, my country's energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by 2.7%.
While ensuring the sustainable development of my country's economy and society, it has laid a solid foundation for achieving carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
Energy conservation is at the heart of the energy consumption revolution.
In the next step, we must continue to put energy conservation in the first place, implement a comprehensive conservation strategy, continue to reduce energy and resource consumption and carbon emissions per unit of output, improve input-output efficiency, advocate a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, and form an effective way from the source. Carbon emission control valve.
The implementation of the comprehensive conservation strategy is a systematic project, which needs to be completed by mobilizing the forces of the whole society to form a work pattern led by the government, enterprises as the main body, and the whole people jointly promote.
It is necessary to take energy conservation as the primary way to meet the new energy demand, and implement energy conservation and consumption reduction with greater efforts.
This will not only help ease the pressure on energy supply security, but also help to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring energy security.

Expansion of direct funding
The establishment of a direct financial mechanism is a major decision and deployment made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and it is also a major innovation in financial management.
In 2021, the Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, will regularly implement the direct mechanism of financial funds and expand the scope, optimize the distribution process, strengthen the supervision of funds, and continue to maintain the "fast, accurate and strict" characteristics of the direct mechanism and the outstanding advantages of mature system and flexible operation. Promote the "double improvement" of management efficiency and capital efficiency.
The scope of direct funds has been gradually expanded, from the original incremental funds to the existing funds, with a total amount of 2.8 trillion yuan, basically realizing the full coverage of people's livelihood subsidy funds.
Funds go directly to the grassroots, directly benefiting enterprises and people, and the time in transit is greatly reduced.
At the same time, the expenditure structure has been continuously optimized, highlighting the use of direct funds, and promoting funds to be invested in critical areas, key points, and cutting-edge areas, so as to provide a solid foundation for local governments to implement policies that benefit enterprises and the people, and do a good job of "six stability" and "six guarantees". .

Food production hits record high
"Eight policies of Hong Fan, food is the first government", solving the problem of food for more than 1.4 billion people has always been the top priority in governing the country.
In 2021, on the basis of a high starting point and a high base, my country's grain will achieve the previously determined production target, creating the achievement of "eighteen consecutive harvests", which has remained above 1.3 trillion kilograms for seven consecutive years.
On the one hand, all localities have consolidated their responsibility for grain production, implemented the strictest arable land protection system, resolutely curbed the “non-agricultural transformation” of arable land and prevented “non-grain transformation”, further increased support for grain production, and supported the reclamation of abandoned lands. Develop winter idle fields to increase farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain.
On the other hand, the national grain production has overcome the adverse effects of floods, continuous rainy weather and other adverse effects and achieved a bumper harvest, laying a solid foundation for the "14th Five-Year Plan" to start a good start, promote high-quality economic and social development, and build a new development pattern.

Behind the small and micro enterprises are thousands of families and jobs.
In order to effectively reduce the pressure on small and micro enterprises to repay the principal and interest in stages and alleviate the shortage of collateral for small and micro enterprises, the People's Bank of China has adopted a series of support measures to help small and micro market players overcome difficulties and seek development.
In response to the financial service needs of key areas and industries and enterprises that have been greatly affected by the epidemic and have a strong ability to attract employment, relevant departments have strengthened linkages and organized bank-enterprise docking.

On the one hand, my country's prices have remained stable, which is in stark contrast to the marked rise in global prices, which fully reflects the strong resilience of my country's economy and demonstrates the good results of the country's measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices.
On the other hand, from the perspective of price transmission throughout the year, the upward momentum of upstream raw material price increases has weakened, food prices have fallen, and non-food prices have maintained moderate increases.
At the same time, consumer prices continued to maintain a moderate growth trend, and the prices of industrial raw materials fell significantly, reflecting that the pressure on production input costs in some manufacturing industries has eased.
At present, my country's industrial and agricultural products and services are abundantly supplied, grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables and other livelihood commodities are adequately supplied, and basic energy sources such as coal and oil and gas are guaranteed.
