  China News Service, Beijing, May 24 (Xia Bin) "The sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic has a major impact on China's economy, and the global epidemic is even more severe." Yang Weimin, deputy director of the CPPCC Economic Committee, said on the 24th that the epidemic zone There have been many changes, but they cannot change the basic trend of the long-term improvement of the Chinese economy.

Facing the impact of the epidemic, whether it is to make good use of economic policies in the short term, maintain economic stability, or to stimulate huge market potential in the long term and promote sustainable economic and social development, we must adhere to reform and opening up. Yang Weimin said that as long as we persist in reform and opening up, mobilize the enthusiasm of 1.4 billion people to pursue a better life, and stimulate the enthusiasm of the production and operation of more than 100 million market players, we will definitely be invincible.

  Third, China has sufficient policy tools. Yang Weimin pointed out that China's fiscal and financial system is generally healthy, whether it is total, structural, quantitative or price-based policy tools, whether it is to increase the deficit rate, expand government debt and other fiscal policies, or increase liquidity, Monetary policies such as unblocking the currency transmission mechanism and reducing financing costs have sufficient ammunition.

  Fourth, China has significant institutional advantages. Yang Weimin said: "As long as we adhere to the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, we can better transform our country's system advantages into national governance efficiency, use the continuous improvement of governance efficiency to ensure the effective play of the system advantages, and improve the level of economic governance, we will certainly be invincible. place."

  Yang Weimin emphasized that, in short, although the impact of the epidemic is huge and the difficulties are unprecedented, we must firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and under the guidance of the forthcoming "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", we will be encouraged by continuous reform and opening up Under the strong support of national policies, and with the joint efforts of all the people and various market players, the huge wheel of the Chinese economy will surely break through the dangerous reefs and continue to move forward.
