After the opening meeting of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, the first "Minister's Channel" interview activity was held, and some heads of relevant ministries and commissions of the State Council who attended the meeting were invited to be interviewed through online video.

　　CCTV reporter: China's economy will grow by 8.1% in 2021.

The "Government Work Report" just now gave the main expected target for my country's development in 2022, with a GDP growth of about 5.5%.

May I ask Director He, what do you think of this economic growth target?

How is China's economic situation this year?

What are the supporting factors for economic development?

　　He Lifeng: We just listened to the "Government Work Report" delivered by Premier Li Keqiang. The report comprehensively reviewed the work of the past year, and arranged and deployed the main goals and tasks for this year.

In the past year, we have made great achievements in economic development on the basis of effective and normalized epidemic prevention and control.

In 2020, my country's GDP will be 101.4 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to 14.7 trillion U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar of 6.9.

In 2021, my country's GDP will reach 114.4 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to 17.7 trillion U.S. dollars according to the average exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar of 6.45.

A year's GDP increased by 13 trillion yuan, which is the first time in the history of the Chinese nation; in US dollars, it increased by 3 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to the economic aggregate level of the 6th and 7th countries in the G20, which is the largest in the world. It is also the first time in the history of economic development.

This shows that the stamina of China's economic development is strong, the resilience of China's economy is very strong, and the vitality of market players and the ability to resist risks are strong.

This is also the basis for our confidence and foundation to achieve this year's GDP growth target of around 5.5%.

　　He Lifeng: To achieve this year's goals, there are still many favorable factors.

First, after more than two years of practice in fighting the epidemic, the mechanisms and measures for promoting economic recovery and development have become more and more mature in various regions, industries and enterprises on the basis of effectively and effectively responding to the epidemic.

Second, in the past few years, we have vigorously implemented new development concepts, built a new development pattern, and promoted high-quality development, creating a lot of room for development on both sides of supply and demand. in very good condition.

Third, this year's economic development faces many problems and difficulties. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have conducted a forward-looking and thorough analysis, and made specific arrangements to continue to implement large-scale tax cuts and fee reductions, targeting small, medium and micro enterprises and manufacturing enterprises. A series of policy measures have been introduced in advance.

For example, last month, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments issued 18 policies to support industrial development and 43 policies to support the development of service industries.

The magnitude of the value-added tax refund is also unprecedented. Financial institutions have increased their support for small, medium and micro enterprises, promoted "dual carbon", and upgraded enterprise equipment, and increased medium and long-term loans for the manufacturing industry.

Under the influence of various policies, various types of enterprises have stronger anti-risk capabilities, and small, medium and micro enterprises can continue to solve problems in production and operation and maintain stable and healthy development.

　　He Lifeng: Judging from the situation in January and February this year, the growth rate of power generation is around 6.7%, the freight volume of railway loading and freight has increased rapidly, and foreign trade exports have maintained double-digit growth, which is very difficult.

We have full confidence, determination, foundation, conditions and ability to keep our country's economy operating within a reasonable range and achieve the goals and tasks for the year.

We work together to the future together.
