[China ’s economic trend has not changed]
From the perspective of China's economic fundamentals, the upward trend has not changed. The primary industry continues to improve, and the progress of spring cultivation and summer planting is better than we expected. The development of the secondary industry, especially some emerging industries, is relatively good, and the recovery of the traditional industries is also relatively good. Some consumer industries in the tertiary industry are relatively affected, but they are recovering in a powerful and orderly manner. Therefore, from the perspective of future development trends, the fundamentals of China's economic upturn can be maintained. We have the ability and strength, confidence and determination to continue to promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China's economy.
[Do not struggle with specific indicators of economic growth, so that we are more focused on work such as Liu Wen]
Not entangled with the specific indicators of economic growth will make us more focused on continuously expanding domestic demand and implementing strategies to expand domestic demand; more focused on doing the "six stability" work and achieving the "six guarantees" task; more focused on vigorously promoting the supply-side structure Reforms, promote high-quality development, adapt to leading and creating new needs, and promote the formation of a strong domestic market; focus more on achieving priority and stability in employment, protecting people's livelihood, resolutely winning the battle against poverty, and striving to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
[Short-board weaknesses such as medical emergency supplies reserves must be made up as soon as possible]
We must make up for the shortcomings in the areas of public health and medical emergency materials exposed by the epidemic as soon as possible, and give construction as soon as possible. Promote the "two new and one important" construction, including new infrastructure, new urbanization, mega cities and mega cities from the outbreak of the epidemic prevention and control of the situation, some need to lose weight and fitness, large and medium-sized cities and counties to further strengthen Weaknesses, weaknesses, especially in infrastructure construction, public health, and medical emergency material reserves, should be made up as soon as possible.

[This year the new scale of tax reduction and fee reduction will reach more than 2.5 billion yuan]
Last year, China implemented a large-scale tax reduction and fee reduction, and the scale of tax reduction and fee reduction reached 2.36 trillion yuan. This is an institutional arrangement and will continue to be implemented this year. In order to cope with the impact of the epidemic, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have introduced a series of tax reduction and fee reduction measures. It is expected that the new scale of tax reduction and fee reduction will reach more than 2.5 trillion yuan this year.
【Key expenditures such as poverty alleviation and basic old-age pension increase only but do not decrease】
This year's central government expenditure will grow negatively, while transfer payments to local governments will increase by 12.8%, with an incremental capital of 950 billion yuan. This year, the central government ’s non-rigid and non-urgent expenditures have been reduced by more than 50%. The funds saved are used for epidemic prevention and control, supporting the three major battles, poverty alleviation, compulsory education, basic pension, urban and rural subsistence allowances, etc. The key expenditures only increase but not decrease.
[Local financial operation is normal and stable]
This year's fiscal revenue is expected to decline, and both the central and local governments will be affected. We have made predictions on the local financial situation, and it is estimated that the scale of income reduction and expenditure increase will be between 800 and 900 billion yuan. Some localities will face greater pressure to ensure basic livelihood, wages and operations.
The central government has accelerated the allocation of transfer funds to local governments, and at the same time increased the retention rate of local government funds to ease local financial difficulties. On the whole, the operation of local finance is normal and stable.
[The extravagance of wasted money should never be spent, nor the money without performance]
The purpose of the government's "tight days" is to let the people live a "good day". This is a long-term policy and not a short-term response.
The government's "tight days" have no contradiction to guarantee the normal operation of the regime. This year, the central government has reduced non-urgent needs and non-rigid expenditures by more than 50%. However, rigid expenditures such as wages are guaranteed, and the normal operation of the government is guaranteed. The extravagance and waste of money should never be spent, nor should the money that has no performance be spent, and it must be accountable in accordance with the law and regulations.

[Full confidence in food security and confidence do not have to listen to unfounded hype]
China has had a bumper grain harvest for more than a decade. Last year ’s output was 13.277 trillion catties, and it has remained above 1.3 trillion catties for five consecutive years. This shows that we already have this production capacity. Now the national per capita food occupancy is much higher than the Food Security Standard Line issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The self-sufficiency rate of the two major rations, rice and wheat, has reached 100%, and now the stocks exceed one year of production, which can be eaten by the people of the country for one year. So we have full confidence and confidence in food security! You don't have to listen to the hype that is rootless and groundless.
[We will ensure that there is no shortage of meat in the bowl of the well-off people]
Pork prices have indeed fallen recently, and the wholesale market has declined slightly for 13 consecutive weeks, down 23% from its peak.
It is still very promising to achieve the goal of this year's hog production recovery, that is, to return to a level close to normal levels. With the resumption of hog production, the supply-demand relationship will gradually improve, and the price of pork in the future market will not increase significantly.
The current production situation of cattle and sheep and poultry is also very good. Through efforts, we will certainly ensure that there is no shortage of meat in the bowl of ordinary people.
[Buy more agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas, and love to bring poverty]
There is nothing that cannot be planted, only what cannot be sold. Let the agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas really go out of the village and into the city, not only sell it, but also sell it at a good price. This is what we need to solve next. It is necessary to further lengthen the industrial chain and connect wholesale markets, e-commerce platforms, leading enterprises, etc. to poor areas. To focus on poverty alleviation through consumption, I call on all sectors of society to buy more agricultural products in poor areas, and love consumption to bring poverty.
