An answer sheet that is satisfied with the people and the world is watching.
This year is the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan.
After five years of continuous struggle, my country's economic and social development has made new historic achievements, and the main objectives and tasks of the "13th Five-Year Plan" are about to be completed.
my country's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength, and people's living standards have jumped to a new level. Victory in building a well-off society in all respects is in sight, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has taken a new big step forward.
These achievements were hard-won. The meeting summarized the regular understanding of economic work under severe challenges, that is, the authority of the Party Central Committee is the fundamental support for the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to rise to difficulties in times of crisis; the people's supremacy is to make the right choices. The fundamental prerequisite of the development; institutional advantages are the fundamental guarantee for the formation of the strength to overcome difficulties; scientific decision-making and creative response are the fundamental methods to turn crises into opportunities; scientific and technological self-reliance is the fundamental support for the overall development of development.
While affirming the results, the meeting analyzed the current economic situation and pointed out that we must be soberly aware that there are many uncertainties in the changes in the epidemic and the external environment, and the foundation for my country's economic recovery is not yet solid.
The world economic situation next year will remain complex and severe, the recovery will be unstable and uneven, and various derivative risks caused by the impact of the epidemic cannot be ignored.
It is necessary to enhance the sense of crisis, strengthen confidence in victory, and promote sustained economic recovery and high-quality development.
With a clear understanding of the situation and problems, next year's economic work will be more targeted.
The meeting called for a good first step to build a new development pattern next year and see the new outlook.
How to do it
There are eight key tasks to be grasped next year: one is to strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength; the second is to enhance the independent controllability of the industrial supply chain; the third is to adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand; the fourth is to comprehensively promote reform and opening up; the fifth is to solve the seeds And the problem of arable land; sixth is to strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital; seventh is to solve the outstanding problems of housing in big cities; eight is to do a good job in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
Strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength has become the top priority of next year's economic work.
The meeting requested that the country should give full play to its role as a major scientific and technological innovation organizer, adhere to the strategic demand orientation, determine the direction and focus of scientific and technological innovation, and focus on solving major problems that restrict national development and security.
The security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain are the foundation for building a new development pattern.
Enhancing the independent controllability of the industrial supply chain is also the focus of next year's work.
The meeting requested that we must coordinate the promotion of shortcomings and forging longboards, implement key core technology tackling projects for the weak links of the industry, solve a number of "stuck neck" problems as soon as possible, and intensively cultivate and develop more unique skills in the areas of industrial advantages. .
The formation of a strong domestic market is an important support for building a new development pattern.
The meeting requested that next year’s economic work must adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, tightly twist the main line of supply-side structural reform, and at the same time pay attention to demand-side management.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to break through blocking points, make up for shortcomings, and link production, distribution, circulation, and consumption to form a higher level of dynamic balance in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand, and enhance the overall efficiency of the national economic system.
Persisting in expanding domestic demand does not mean that we have to close the door to opening up, but to open up to the outside world with a higher level and higher quality.
Anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition are inherent requirements for improving the socialist market economy system and promoting high-quality development.
The key task for next year specifically proposes to strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital.
The meeting emphasized the need to strengthen regulation, enhance supervision capabilities, and resolutely oppose monopoly and unfair competition.
Financial innovation must be carried out under the premise of prudential supervision.
Housing issues are related to people's livelihood and welfare.
Solving the prominent housing problems in big cities is one of the important tasks for next year's work.
The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, adopt measures to local conditions and adopt multiple strategies to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.
The annual Central Economic Work Conference can be said to be a weather vane for China's economic development and an action guide for economic work in the next year.
Next year is the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the first year of a new journey to comprehensively build a modern socialist country. It can be said to be a new starting point for struggle.
To build a new development pattern, we must take the first step and see the new atmosphere; to promote high-quality development, we must grasp key tasks and require new actions.
At the same time, we can also imagine that the economic situation next year will remain complex and severe. We must not only be motivated, but also maintain a sense of worry and bottom-line thinking, and strive to break new ground with new ideas.
