Zhongxin Finance, April 15th. On the 15th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference to introduce the situation of actively expanding effective investment.
Ou Hong, director of the Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has resolutely implemented the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and has worked together with relevant parties to stabilize investment, actively expand effective investment, and maintain stable investment growth.
Judging from the situation in the first two months of this year, the national investment increased by 12.2%, achieving a good start, and the work of stabilizing investment has achieved positive results, showing many bright spots and characteristics.
From the perspective of investment, manufacturing investment and infrastructure investment have a good growth momentum.
Manufacturing investment in January-February continued the momentum of rapid recovery since last year and became an important driving force for investment growth.
Infrastructure investment remained stable and improved, with an increase of 8.1% in January-February.
From the perspective of investment structure, the quality of investment has been continuously improved and the structure has been gradually optimized.
Investment in high-tech industries grew rapidly.
Investment in the social sector continued to increase, among which investment in health and education grew rapidly.
In terms of funding sources, government investment and private investment work together.
The driving effect of the early release of financial funds is obvious. In the first two months of this year, the national budget funds increased rapidly among the actual funds in place.
The vitality of private investment has increased, and the growth rate from January to February has increased significantly compared with the whole of last year.
From the perspective of development trends, the leading indicators of investment are improving.
Compared with the same period last year, the number of newly started projects has increased significantly, which will form a strong support for the steady growth of investment.
Although, since March, due to factors such as the epidemic, there has been some pressure to maintain steady growth in investment.
But in general, the current investment stabilization work has many favorable conditions.
First, the available scale of local government special bonds is relatively large. This year's special bond arrangement of 3.65 trillion yuan, together with about 1.2 trillion yuan issued in the fourth quarter of last year, will form an important support for investment growth this year.
Second, there are many investment growth points, and there is still much room for investment in areas such as infrastructure improvement, promotion of "dual-carbon" projects, development of emerging industries, and implementation of new urbanization.
Third, all localities and all aspects are highly motivated and vigorous in stabilizing investment.
Investment is expected to maintain steady growth in the first quarter.
Ou Hong said that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will, in accordance with the deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, earnestly implement various policies and measures to actively expand effective investment and play an important role in stabilizing the macroeconomic market.
