  The negative impact of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic on the Chinese economy has already occurred, and how to force recovery is of great concern. In an interview with the China News Service and other media, a number of representatives and committee members participating in the two sessions of the country outlined a "road map" for China's economic recovery.

  Whether it is "six stability" or "six guarantees", employment ranks first. Although the government work report this year did not give specific targets for the annual economic growth rate, it still determined the task of increasing employment in cities and towns by more than 9 million.

  "Implement the spirit of giving priority to employment." Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that the steady growth is to stabilize employment, and now the employment index is directly pushed to the first place. Level.

  There will be 8.74 million graduates from colleges and universities in 2020, and the number has reached a record high. Their employment problem is the top priority.

  Liu Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the People's University of China, categorically stated that the unemployment rate of college graduates and postgraduates is relatively higher according to different ages. Only by exerting our strength can we better handle the current challenges.

  "Before people were looking for work, now people can create jobs." Liu Shangxi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the China Academy of Fiscal Sciences, said that digitalization and platformization can help create jobs, and innovation and entrepreneurship can lead to employment.

  To absorb employment, enterprises must be retained, especially small, medium and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households that have contributed most of the employment but are weak in the ability to withstand the impact of the epidemic.

  The Ministry of Commerce of China revealed that after the outbreak, nearly 60 million small shops faced difficulties. "If calculated according to the average employee size of 3 to 5 employees in each small shop, behind the 60 million small shops, there are 200 to 300 million employed people. It can be seen that stabilizing the economy of small shops is of great significance to stable employment." Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, Liang Jing, chairman of the Henan Federation of Industry and Commerce, said.

  Liu Shangxi pointed out that because small and medium-sized enterprises have been hit the hardest by the epidemic, it is necessary to reduce the burden and avoid cash flow problems. "Keeping a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises with strong employment lead will also keep the economic fundamentals, which requires a relatively targeted policy."

  Pack lightly and move forward. According to the government work report, it is expected that the annual burden reduction for enterprises will exceed 2.5 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), and the payment of income tax for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households will be postponed until next year.

  Financial strength, injecting live water. According to the government work report, the loan repayment policy for small and medium-sized enterprises will be extended to the end of March next year. The loans for inclusive small and micro enterprises should be extended, and loans for other difficult enterprises should be negotiated. The growth rate of micro-enterprise loans is higher than 40%.

  When the enterprise survives well, it will produce a virtuous circle: from the supply side, it means that the effective supply of products and services can be guaranteed; from the demand side, it means that the income from work can be used for consumption.

  Increasing residents 'consumer confidence and enhancing residents' consumption power are the prerequisites for expanding consumption. From the perspective of recent practice, consumer vouchers have become an effective means. According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Commerce of China, since the outbreak, 28 provinces and cities and more than 170 prefectures and cities have coordinated local government and social funds, and cumulatively issued more than 19 billion consumer coupons.

  Yu Xuewen, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Zhejiang Gengxiang Organic Tea Base Development Co., Ltd., said that consumer vouchers have effectively revitalized physical stores, drove the consumer market to heat up, effectively consumed stocks, stimulated growth, and drove the industry's upstream and downstream chains to fully recover.

  He suggested encouraging the government to refer to the "Hangzhou model" and issue consumer coupons according to local conditions, multiple batches, and normalization; encourage the issuance of consumer coupons to drip small and micro businesses accurately, stabilize employment, and stabilize the economy; choose a real-name platform to ensure the safety and fairness of distribution.

  The global economy is still hot, and China's economic recovery is focused on the inside and the outside. Liu Shijin reminded: "If the economic shutdown is the first wave of shock, foreign trade may be the second wave. It is possible that the length and intensity of the foreign trade will be greater than the first wave. This needs to be observed."

  Foreign trade companies are turning their attention back to China. Alibaba said that it has helped more than 300,000 foreign trade factories to "single-click" the domestic sales through digital wholesale capabilities, avoiding the suspension of production and unemployment of foreign trade enterprises.

  Ning Gaoning, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Sinochem Group, said that due to the epidemic, the procurement of raw materials and the movement of labor were blocked, and the global supply chain was interrupted to some extent in certain industries. This may lead to the global industrial chain shifting to regional agglomeration and localization.

  "Now the fastest recovery in the global production supply chain is China, which is a good development opportunity." Ning Gaoning said that at present, China's economy has entered a recovery stage. Although the recovery of market demand will take some time, China's production and Supply is gradually returning to normal, and port operations, import and export transportation have also returned to normal, and recovery is expected to accelerate in the next six months.
