  We have survived the most difficult moments.

Looking back on the three years since the epidemic, my country has withstood multiple tests such as the impact of the new crown epidemic and the accelerated evolution of world changes, and has always been an important source of power for global economic development.

In 2020, my country will become the world's first major economy to achieve positive economic growth; in 2021, my country's economy will move forward under pressure, with a year-on-year growth of 8.1%, achieving a good start in the "14th Five-Year Plan"; in 2022, my country will continue to maintain the status of the world's second largest economy.

As long as we are confident and seek progress in stability, we will surely achieve our set goals. .”

  The Party Central Committee has a series of requirements for implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the first year of economic and social development, and the word "stability" runs through it.

Do a good job in the big article of "stability", insist on the word "stability" and strive for progress in stability, so that you can effectively deal with the impact of unexpected factors.

"Stability" is first of all a belief and a state.

We must continue to highlight the institutional advantages of my country's economic and social development, strengthen the scientific judgment of long-term economic fundamentals, strengthen the belief that reform will not stop and opening up will not stop, vigorously boost development confidence, improve social psychological expectations, and serve various market players. Development takes "reassurance" to stimulate the entrepreneurial vitality of the whole society, so that cadres dare to do things, local people dare to break through, and enterprises dare to do it, so as to gather strong development momentum.

At present, the foundation of my country's economic recovery is not yet solid, and the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations is still relatively large.

We must aim at the main goal of "steady growth", give priority to the recovery and expansion of consumption, let residents want to consume, dare to consume, and can consume, and effectively drive investment in the whole society through government investment and policy incentives to cultivate and grow a new economy growth point; consolidate the important foundation of "employment stabilization", improve the employment priority policy, promote the expansion and quality of employment, and stimulate the vitality of market players; grasp the key link of "stabilizing prices", accelerate the improvement of the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain, and ensure the security of bulk products. Stable supply and price can better support the economic recovery.

  "Stability" is also reflected in stabilizing people's livelihood and people's hearts.

There is no small matter in people's livelihood, and the branches and leaves are always related to love.

We must always adhere to the "people-centered" development concept and put people's livelihood work in an important position.

We must do everything possible to stabilize the "grain bag" and "vegetable basket", protect thousands of households, "cover" the most difficult groups with solid livelihood policies, "keep" the most basic life, continuously improve security and improve people's livelihood, and continue to improve medical care. , old-age care, childcare, housing, education and other fields continue to improve people's livelihood and well-being.

  Although winter is cold, spring returns in time.

Hundreds of millions of people are working hard towards their dreams, which will surely make China full of vitality.

Although the epidemic has not completely escaped, life is being heated up a little bit.

Facing the brand-new 2023 and the longer-term future, as long as we are determined in our hearts, full of confidence, insist on keeping the word steady and making progress in a steady way, the giant ship of the Chinese economy will surely be able to sail against the wind and sail forward, and make progress in the future. , Steady progress on the road of high-quality development.
