The global epidemic continues, the momentum of world economic recovery is insufficient, commodity prices fluctuate at a high level, and the external environment is becoming more complicated, severe and uncertain. China’s economic development faces triple pressures: demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening. Local epidemics occur from time to time. The recovery of consumption and investment is slow, it is more difficult to stabilize exports, the supply of energy and raw materials is still tight, the production and operation of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households are difficult, and the task of stabilizing employment is even more arduous. The ability to support innovation in key areas is not strong. In some places, the contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure has increased, and there are many hidden dangers in the economic and financial fields. There are still many shortcomings in the field of people’s livelihood. There are shortcomings in government work, formalism and bureaucracy are still prominent, and phenomena of being divorced from reality and going against the wishes of the masses often occur. Some of them adopt a "one size fits all" and sports approach in policy implementation. A small number of cadres do not take responsibility, do not act, act indiscriminately, and some ignore the serious violation of the rights and interests of the masses and seriously neglect their duties. Corruption is still frequent in some areas. We should enhance our sense of hardship, face up to problems and challenges, go all out to do a good job and never live up to people’s expectations!

Li Keqiang put forward the overall requirements for economic and social development this year in the government work report.

Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China pointed out in his government work report on the 5th that the The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China（CPC） will be held this year, which is a very important year in the development of the cause of the Party and the country. To do a good job in government work, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core and under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, we should fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and its previous plenary sessions, carry forward the great spirit of party building, adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, persist in innovation-driven development, and promote high-quality development.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the situation at home and abroad, the risk challenges faced by China’s development have increased significantly this year, and we must climb the slope. The more difficult it is, the more we must strengthen our confidence and work hard. The fundamentals of China’s long-term economic improvement will not change, and its sustainable development has many advantages. In particular, hundreds of millions of people have a strong desire to pursue a better life, great potential for entrepreneurship and innovation, and a firm will to overcome difficulties together.

In his government work report on the 5th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China pointed out that to achieve this year’s development goals and tasks, macro policies should be steady and effective, micro policies should continue to stimulate the vitality of market players, structural policies should focus on unblocking the national economic cycle, science and technology policies should be solidly implemented, reform and opening-up policies should activate the development momentum, regional policies should enhance the balance and coordination of development, and social policies should focus on the bottom line of people’s livelihood. All aspects should focus on implementing these major policies and requirements, refine concrete measures, and form a joint force to promote development.

Macro policies should be kept consistent and made more effective. A proactive fiscal policy should improve efficiency and pay more attention to accuracy and sustainability. A prudent monetary policy should be flexible and moderate, and maintain a reasonable and sufficient liquidity. Employment priority policy should improve quality and strength. The policy force is appropriately ahead, and the reserve policy tools are used in time to ensure the smooth operation of the economy.

In our work this year, we must make economic stability our top priority and pursue progress while ensuring stability. Facing the new downward pressure, we should put steady growth in a more prominent position. All localities and departments should earnestly shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the economy and actively introduce policies conducive to economic stability. It is necessary to make overall plans to stabilize growth, adjust the structure, promote reform, accelerate the transformation of development mode, and not engage in extensive development. Adhere to seeking truth from facts, based on the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, focus on doing our own thing, respect the law of development, objective reality and the needs of the masses, work creatively according to local conditions, and fully mobilize the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of all officials.

Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China pointed out in his government work report on the 5th that this year’s economic and social development has heavy tasks and many challenges. In accordance with the deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we must implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and do a good job in all work.

Li Keqiang proposed in the government work report that this year efforts should be made to stabilize the macro-economic market and keep the economy running in a reasonable range.

Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China put forward in the government work report on the 5th that efforts should be made to stabilize the macro-economic market and keep the economy running in a reasonable range. Continue to do the work of "six guarantees" and "six guarantees". We have both macro-policy tools and space available to us, and we should use them to intensify cross- and counter-cyclical adjustments and to provide strong support for a stable economic performance.

Improve the effectiveness of proactive fiscal policy. This year, deficit ratio plans to arrange around 2.8%, which is lower than last year, which is conducive to enhancing financial sustainability. It is estimated that this year’s fiscal revenue will continue to grow. In addition, certain state-owned financial institutions and franchisees have turned over the profits in recent years according to law and transferred them to the budget stabilization fund. The expenditure scale has expanded by more than 2 trillion yuan compared with last year, and the available financial resources have increased significantly. New funds will be channeled to local levels of government and used mainly to ease the difficulties of enterprises, stabilize employment, meet living needs, and increase consumption and demand. This year, the central government’s expenditure at this level will increase by 3.9%, of which the central government’s expenditure will continue to grow negatively. The central government’s transfer payments to local governments increased by about 1.5 trillion yuan, with a scale of nearly 9.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 18%, the largest increase for many years. The central finance will bring more funds into the direct scope, and the provincial finance will also increase its support for cities and counties, so as to make the grassroots more capable and motivated to implement the policy of benefiting enterprises and benefiting the people.

It is necessary to make good use of government investment funds to promote the expansion of effective investment. This year, it is planned to arrange local government special bonds of 3.65 trillion yuan. Strengthen performance orientation, adhere to the principle of "funds follow the project", reasonably expand the scope of use, support the follow-up financing of projects under construction, and start a number of qualified major projects, new infrastructure, renovation of old public facilities and other construction projects. Private investment accounts for a large part of investment, so it is necessary to give play to the role of major project traction and government investment incitement, improve relevant support policies, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of private investment.

Government will keep its belt tightened and keep spending low to benefit the people. Vigorously optimize the expenditure structure, ensure key expenditures and strictly control general expenditures. Revitalize the financial stock funds and idle assets. Governments at all levels must work hard and be thrifty, and the central and provincial governments should take the lead. Strengthen the management of revenue and expenditure, strictly prohibit extravagance and waste, do not build new buildings and halls in violation of regulations, and do not engage in image projects. Those who violate financial discipline and wantonly squander public funds should be strictly investigated, and precious funds must be used in critical areas of development and urgent needs of people’s livelihood.

Strengthen the implementation of prudent monetary policy. Give full play to the dual functions of monetary policy tools in terms of aggregate and structure, and provide stronger support for the real economy. Expand the scale of new loans, keep the growth rate of money supply and social financing basically matching the growth rate of nominal economy, and keep the macro leverage ratio basically stable. Keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level. Further unblock the transmission mechanism of monetary policy, guide more funds to flow to key areas and weak links, and expand the coverage of inclusive finance. Promote financial institutions to reduce the actual loan interest rate and fees, so that the majority of market players can feel the improvement of financing convenience and the real decline of comprehensive financing costs.

Strengthen the employment priority policy. Vigorously expand employment channels, focus on stabilizing employment by stabilizing market players, and enhance the role of entrepreneurship in promoting employment. Fiscal, taxation, financial and other policies should focus on employment and increase support for enterprises to stabilize and expand their posts. All kinds of special employment promotion policies should be strengthened and optimized, and unreasonable restrictions on employment and entrepreneurship should be resolutely cleaned up and cancelled. All localities should do everything possible to stabilize and expand employment.

Ensure food and energy security. Ensure the supply of important agricultural products such as grain, and ensure the people’s livelihood and the normal production and operation of enterprises. Implement a comprehensive economy strategy. Strengthen the domestic resources production support capacity, accelerate the exploration and development of oil and gas, minerals and other resources, improve the national strategic material reserve system, and ensure the supply of primary products. Keep the price level basically stable.

Prevent and resolve major risks. Continue to handle risks in the economic and financial fields in accordance with the basic principles of overall stability, overall planning and coordination, classified policies and accurate bomb disposal. Consolidate local territorial responsibility, departmental supervision responsibility and corporate main responsibility, strengthen risk early warning, prevention and control mechanism and capacity building, set up financial stability guarantee fund, use marketization and rule of law to resolve potential risks, and firmly hold the bottom line of no systematic risks.

Li Keqiang pointed out in the government work report that this year, efforts will be made to stabilize market players to ensure employment and increase the implementation of macro policies.

On the 5th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China put forward in his government work report that efforts should be made to stabilize market players to ensure employment and strengthen the implementation of macro policies. We will improve policies such as reducing burdens and relieving difficulties, and lay a solid foundation for stable economic operation and quality improvement.

Implement a new combined tax and fee support policy. Adhere to the combination of phased measures and institutional arrangements, and simultaneously reduce taxes and refund taxes. On the one hand, we will continue to implement the policy of tax reduction and fee reduction to support manufacturing, small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, and increase the scope of reduction and exemption and expand the scope of application. Small-scale taxpayers are exempted from value-added tax in stages. For small and micro enterprises, the annual taxable income of 1 million yuan to 3 million yuan will be halved. All localities should also, in light of the actual situation, introduce effective measures such as tax reduction and exemption according to law, so that the intensity of tax reduction and fee reduction will only increase, so as to stabilize market expectations. On the other hand, considering comprehensively providing cash flow support for enterprises, promoting consumer investment, and vigorously improving the tax refund system for value-added tax credits, a large-scale tax refund will be implemented this year. Priority will be given to small and micro enterprises, and the stock tax allowance for small and micro enterprises will be refunded in one lump sum before the end of June, and the incremental tax allowance will be refunded in full. Focus on supporting the manufacturing industry, and comprehensively solve the problem of tax refund for manufacturing, scientific research and technical services, ecological and environmental protection, electricity and gas, transportation and other industries. The value-added tax rebate has been significantly increased to boost market confidence. It is estimated that the annual tax refund and tax reduction will be about 2.5 trillion yuan, of which about 1.5 trillion yuan will be reserved for tax refund, and all the tax refund funds will go directly to enterprises. The central government will increase its financial support to local governments, and the subsidy funds will go directly to cities and counties. Local governments and relevant departments should establish and improve the working mechanism, strengthen the allocation of funds, and ensure that the key measure of tax rebate and tax reduction is put in place, so as to help enterprises to get timely help and revitalize themselves.

Strengthen effective financial support for the real economy. We will make good use of the tools to support small and micro loans, increase small loans to support agriculture, optimize supervision and assessment, and promote the obvious growth of small and micro loans, and continue to increase the proportion of credit loans and first-time borrowers. Guide financial institutions to accurately grasp the credit policy, continue to provide financing support to enterprises in industries seriously affected by the epidemic, and avoid industrial loan restriction, loan withdrawal and loan suspension. Give full play to the role of policy and development finance. Promote the sharing of credit information related to enterprises, speed up the information communication between tax, customs, electric power and other units and financial institutions, expand the coverage of government financing guarantees for small and micro enterprises, strive to create a good financing ecology, and further promote the solution of the financing problems of the real economy, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

Promote the reduction of production and operation costs of enterprises. Clean up the unreasonable price increase in the transfer of power supply, and support local governments to implement phased preferential policies for electricity consumption in industries with special difficulties. Guide large-scale platform enterprises to reduce fees and reduce the burden on small and medium-sized businesses. Further clean up and standardize the fees charged by trade associations, chambers of commerce and intermediaries.
