Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 22, Premier Li Keqiang said in a government work report on the 22nd that to do a good job in the government this year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, Xi Jinping ’s socialist thinking with Chinese characteristics in the new era As a guide, fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Party and the Second, Third, and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, resolutely implement the party ’s basic theories, basic lines, and basic strategies, enhance the "four consciousnesses", and strengthen the "four self-confidences" To achieve "two maintenances", closely follow the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, coordinate the advancement of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and under the premise of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, adhere to the general tone of progress and steady development Philosophy, adhere to the supply-side structural reform as the main line, adhere to the reform and opening up as the driving force to promote high-quality development, resolutely fight the three major battles, increase the "six stability" work, ensure residents ’employment, basic people ’s livelihood, and market players , To ensure food and energy security, to ensure the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain, to maintain grassroots operations, firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, and maintain economic development Social stability, ensure the completion of objectives and tasks of tackling poverty fight and win, building a moderately prosperous society.
At present and for a period of time to come, China's development faces unprecedented risks and challenges, but we have unique political and institutional advantages, a strong economic foundation, huge market potential, and the hardworking and wisdom of hundreds of millions of people. As long as we face the challenges, strengthen development confidence, enhance development momentum, and maintain and make good use of China ’s important strategic opportunities for development, the current difficulties will surely be overcome, and China ’s development will be full of hope.
Based on the comprehensive research and judgment situation, we have made appropriate adjustments to the expected targets considered before the epidemic. This year, we must give priority to stabilizing employment and protecting people's livelihood, resolutely win the battle against poverty, and strive to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way; there are more than 9 million new jobs in urban areas, the urban survey unemployment rate is about 6%, and the urban registered unemployment rate is about 5.5%; The price has increased by about 3.5%; imports and exports have promoted stability and improved quality, and the balance of international payments has been basically balanced; residents ’income growth has been basically synchronized with economic growth; under the current standards, all rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and all poverty-stricken counties have taken off their hats; effective prevention and control of major financial risks; The energy consumption per unit of GDP and the discharge of major pollutants continued to decline, and efforts were made to complete the objectives and tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan.
It should be noted that we did not propose specific targets for the annual economic growth rate, mainly because the global epidemic situation and the economic and trade situation are highly uncertain, and China ’s development faces some unpredictable factors. In doing so, it is helpful to guide all parties to concentrate on "six stability" and "six guarantees". "Six Guarantees" is the focus of this year's "Six Stability" work. Keeping the bottom line of the "six guarantees" can stabilize the economic fundamentals; to promote stability and make progress through stability, we can lay a solid foundation for building a well-off society in an all-round way. It should be noted that whether it is to maintain employment and livelihood, achieve the goal of poverty alleviation, or prevent and mitigate risks, there must be economic growth support, and stable economic operation is related to the overall situation. It is necessary to use reform and opening up methods to stabilize employment, protect people's livelihood, promote consumption, stimulate the market and stabilize growth, and embark on a new way to effectively deal with the impact and achieve a virtuous circle.
An active fiscal policy should be more active and promising. This year's deficit rate is planned to be set at more than 3.6%. The fiscal deficit scale will increase by 1 trillion yuan compared with last year. At the same time, 1 trillion yuan of special anti-epidemic government bonds will be issued. This is a special move in a special period. All the above 2 trillion yuan will be transferred to localities, and a special transfer payment mechanism will be established. Funds will reach the grassroots of the city and counties directly to benefit enterprises and the people. They are mainly used to protect employment, basic people's livelihood, and market participants, including support for tax and fee reductions. Rent and interest rate reduction, expansion of consumption and investment, etc., strengthen the public financial attributes, and never allow interception and misappropriation. It is necessary to vigorously optimize the structure of fiscal expenditures. Basic livelihood expenditures only increase but not decrease. Expenditure in key areas must be effectively guaranteed. General expenditures must be firmly reduced. It is strictly forbidden to build new buildings and halls, and to prohibit extravagance and waste. Governments at all levels must really live their lives tightly, and the central government should take the lead. The central government ’s expenditure arrangements at the current level have a negative growth, and non-rigid expenditures that are not urgently needed are more than 50% reduced. All kinds of balances and settling funds should be collected and rearranged. To vigorously improve quality and increase efficiency, all expenditures must be carefully planned, every money must be spent on the edge of the knife, and it must be the most important place, and the market subjects and the people must have a real feeling.
A sound monetary policy should be more flexible and appropriate. The comprehensive use of means such as quasi-rate reduction, interest rate reduction and refinancing will guide the broad money supply and the scale of social financing to grow significantly higher than last year. Keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level. To innovate monetary policy tools that directly reach the real economy, it is imperative to promote enterprises to facilitate access to loans, and promote continued downward interest rates.
Employment priority policies should be comprehensively strengthened. Fiscal, monetary, and investment policies must work together to support stable employment. Efforts should be made to stabilize existing employment, actively increase new employment, and promote the reemployment of the unemployed. All localities should clean up and remove unreasonable restrictions on employment, promote employment measures and make full use of measures to expand positions.
Poverty alleviation is a hard task that must be completed to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. We must adhere to the current poverty alleviation standards, strengthen the implementation of poverty alleviation measures, ensure that all remaining poor people are all out of poverty, improve and implement the monitoring and assistance mechanism for those returning to poverty, and consolidate poverty alleviation results. It is necessary to fight well in the defense of the blue sky, clear water and pure land, and to achieve the staged objectives of the battle against pollution. Strengthen the prevention and control of major risks, and firmly adhere to the bottom line that no systemic risks occur.
Li Keqiang said that nearly five months have passed this year, and the next stage will not relax normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and do a good job in all aspects of economic and social development. The policies introduced maintain both strength and sustainability, and can be improved according to changes in the situation. We are determined to have the ability to complete the annual goals and tasks.
