At the beginning of this year, we are faced with a sudden and severe test. The new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought unprecedented impact to my country's economic and social development. Through the joint efforts of the whole country, my country's epidemic prevention and control has achieved major strategic results, and economic development has shown a stable and improved trend. Taking advantage of the situation, overcoming difficulties, and consolidating and expanding the results of epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery are vital to achieving good economic development throughout the year.
The Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee held a few days ago made major arrangements and made clear requirements for doing a good job in the economic work of the second half of the year and striving to complete the annual economic and social development goals and tasks. At the previous non-party symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the epidemic prevention and control situation is now stable, and economic operations have basically resumed. In the third and fourth quarters, we must take advantage of the momentum to consolidate and expand the results of epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery, and strive to make up for the increase. Half a year's loss.
Guanshan is so heavy that the mountains are high and man-made peaks. Facing the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core insisted on putting people’s life safety and physical health first, stepped up efforts to respond to macroeconomic policies, and did a solid job of “six stability” and fully implemented “six stability”. The task of “guarantee”, the overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development have achieved significant results. In the first half of the year, the economy fell by 6.8% year-on-year in the first quarter, stabilized and recovered in the second quarter, from negative to positive, increasing by 3.2%; 5.64 million new urban employees nationwide were employed, completing 62.7% of the annual target and tasks; the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size has been continuous It has maintained positive growth for three months, exports have grown positively for three consecutive months, and imports have achieved positive growth in June... For a country like us with a population of 1.4 billion, it can effectively control the epidemic in a short period of time and achieve economic growth. From falling to rising, maintaining the overall economic and social stability is not easy. "Whatever we should take advantage of, we should not lose the time." We must take advantage of the momentum, pursue the momentum, play the first move, fight the initiative, continue to consolidate the results, expand the results, and complete the annual economic and social development. Relentless struggle for goals and tasks.
Effective epidemic prevention and control is a prerequisite for economic and social development. Party committees and governments at all levels must deeply realize that preventing and controlling the epidemic is the bottom line and lifeline of economic and social development. We must cherish the hard-won achievements in prevention and control, always tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, and do not relax to normalize the epidemic prevention and control, improve the normalized epidemic prevention and control mechanism, and strengthen the storage of medical and health materials. Improve external defense input and internal defense rebound measures, continue to consolidate the continuous improvement of epidemic prevention and control, provide strong guarantees for the lives and health of the people, and provide strong support for economic and social development.
The fundamentals of my country's economic stability and long-term improvement remain unchanged, and the basic characteristics of sufficient potential, strong resilience, large room for maneuver, and multiple policy tools remain unchanged. This is where our confidence and confidence in doing our economic work in the second half of the year lies. "Taking back time and making up for the loss!" The whole country must have this spirit of coordinating and promoting epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. The key to taking advantage of the situation to consolidate and expand the economic recovery results is to fully implement the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments, do a solid job of the "six stability", fully implement the "six guarantees" task, and ensure that macroeconomic policies are implemented and effective. We must firmly grasp the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, vigorously protect and stimulate the vitality of market players, improve the stability and competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain, make greater efforts to promote reform and opening up, promote high-quality economic development, and ensure people's livelihood and flood prevention and rescue work. , To maintain the overall situation of social stability.
"The great river flows down, and the green hills move." Looking back, China's economy has been surpassed all the way, and it has continued to grow and expand despite wind and rain. In the face of unprecedented challenges, as long as we are good at accumulating momentum, being good at recognizing changes and adapting to changes, nurturing new opportunities amidst crises, and opening new opportunities amidst changes, we will surely be able to promote China’s economy to ride the waves and usher in greater development. .
