Big goals contain “key little things”

　　"Gross domestic product growth is about 5%" - this year's government work report proposed the expected target for my country's economic growth in 2024.

　　This goal takes into account the needs of promoting employment and income, preventing and defusing risks, and is consistent with the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the goal of basically realizing modernization. It also takes into account economic growth potential and supporting conditions, and embodies the spirit of being enterprising and enterprising. requirements.

　　From economic growth to employment stability, from food security to ecological environmental protection, more economic development goals are also laid out in the government work report, which are both national economy and people's livelihood.

The hard principle of high-quality development is vivid and concrete in each specific deployment.

　　In addition to the ambitious goals, the two "little red envelopes" included in this government report, which are related to the 1.4 billion Chinese people's elderly care and medical treatment, appear warm and considerate.

　　First, “the monthly minimum standard of basic pension for urban and rural residents will be increased by 20 yuan.”

　　"There are now more than 170 million elderly people receiving pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents across the country. This year, the minimum standard will be increased by 20 yuan, an increase of 19.4%. It is the largest increase in recent years." "Government Work Report" drafting group leader, Huang Shouhong, director of the Research Office of the State Council, said this.

　　"Judging from the national average level of pensions for urban and rural residents, the amount that each person can receive per month is just over 200 yuan. An increase of 20 yuan is equivalent to an increase of 10%." Associate Professor, School of Humanities and Development, China Agricultural University, Pension Finance Zhang Dong, executive deputy secretary-general of the 50-person Forum, pointed out that this basically reaches the proportion of urban employee pension increases in the past period, and the increase is quite large.

　　The second is to "increase the per capita financial subsidy standard for resident medical insurance by 30 yuan."

　　Financial subsidies for medical insurance are related to the level of employee medical insurance protection.

As of the end of 2022, the number of people insured by basic medical insurance nationwide will exceed 1.34 billion, and the insurance participation rate will be over 95%.

Huang Shouhong said, "This year we will continue to increase basic medical financial subsidies, and the financial subsidy standard for urban and rural residents' medical insurance will be increased by 30 yuan, reaching 670 yuan per person per year."

　　"Increasing financial subsidies for residents' medical insurance can improve residents' medical security conditions, promote national health, and enhance social stability. It is a measure that is in line with social development and the interests of the people." Wang Zengwen, deputy dean of the School of Politics and Public Administration at Wuhan University and professor of social security express.

Where does the confidence of “+50 yuan” come from?

　　20 yuan plus 30 yuan, a total of 50 yuan.

It doesn't sound like much, but if you take into account the huge population of 1.4 billion, it can be said that every 1 yuan increase in subsidies and standards is a big number.

　　"Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development." As Huang Shouhong said, this year's government work report focuses on issues of concern to the masses, insists on ensuring and improving people's livelihood during development, and focuses on addressing the shortcomings of people's livelihood with a development mindset. The people are urgently looking forward to cultivating new economic growth points.

　　In this year's budget report, sinking financial resources is still the key word to ensure that there are no problems with the "three guarantees" at the grassroots level.

　　"Expenditures on people's livelihood now account for the bulk of fiscal expenditures. The budget arrangements for education, social security and employment will all exceed 4 trillion yuan in 2024." Minister of Finance Lan Fo'an said at the economic press conference of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress It is said that if the party and government agencies spend less money, they can spend more money on people's livelihood projects.

The party and government agencies must live a tight life and spend what they should and save what provinces they should, so that they can be generous with big money and stingy with small money, and concentrate their financial resources on big things.

　　The "+30 yuan" and "+20 yuan" under the Great People's Livelihood reflect the profound meaning of people's livelihood, and also reflect the confidence and confidence of China's economic development.

As a real government expenditure, this means that a larger amount of GDP and fiscal revenue are needed as a trump card and support.

　　Zheng Shajie, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that China's economic recovery will be further consolidated and strengthened in 2024.

Whether looking at the short or long cycle of economic development, there is strong support.

The expected economic growth target of around 5% is a goal that can be achieved in a positive and vigorous manner.

　　Between large and small, whole and part, the big goals in the government work report have been refined into specific tasks and work.

"Our goal is both ambitious and simple. In the final analysis, it is to let the people live a better life." It has become a visible and tangible statement.
