Zhongxin Finance, March 15th. Is it difficult to achieve the annual growth rate target of about 5.5%?

Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department, said at a press conference on the 15th that 5.5% should be considered a not low growth rate. We still have to estimate more fully about the problems and difficulties. The current international situation is relatively complicated, and the domestic economy is also facing many difficulties. It still takes arduous efforts to achieve the annual target of around 5.5%.

　　Fu Linghui said that this year's "Government Work Report" clearly stated that the annual growth target is about 5.5%.

First of all, 5.5% should be said to be a high growth rate. Last year, China's economic scale reached 114 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world.

Last year's economic growth was equivalent to the annual economic aggregate of a moderately developed country.

From the perspective of the world's major economies, the growth rate of 5.5% is not a low growth rate; historically, when other countries are at a similar stage of development in my country, 5.5% is also a relatively high growth rate.

　　Fu Linghui said that judging from the conditions we are facing now, a growth rate of 5.5% is not low, but there are foundations and conditions to achieve economic growth of 5.5%.

China's economy is recovering continuously, and its development is characterized by strong resilience, great potential and sufficient momentum. It has been hit by the epidemic in the past two years, and China's economic development still maintains a leading position in the world.

In the next stage, the policy of stabilizing growth will continue to exert force, which will also strongly promote stable economic growth.

Judging from the changes in indicators from January to February, it will further enhance our confidence in achieving the annual growth target of 5.5%.

　　Fu Linghui believes that we still have to estimate the problems and difficulties more fully.

Indeed, hard work is still required to achieve the full-year target of around 5.5%.

The current international situation is relatively complex, external uncertainty is increasing, and changes in international bulk commodity prices have a greater impact on domestic imports; domestic economic recovery is also facing many difficulties, and upstream price increases have a relatively large impact on mid-stream and downstream industries and small and micro enterprises. Big.

In the next stage, it is still necessary to follow the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, earnestly implement the "Government Work Report" and the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, and strive to promote the stable and healthy development of the economy.
