How to achieve the goal of economic and social development in 2021? The National Development and Reform Commission introduced these "six aspects" measures.

  At the press conference of the State Council Office this morning (March 8), Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced the situation of thoroughly implementing the new development concept and ensuring a good start in the 14 th Five-Year Plan.

  Ning Ji Zhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the Report on the Draft National Economic and Social Development Plan for 2021 clearly defined the main goals of economic and social development in 2021, including GDP growth of more than 6%, urban employment creation of more than 11 million people, urban unemployment rate of about 5.5%, CPI increase of about 3%, and so on. He said: "The proposal of these indicators takes into account the recovery of economic operation, the impact of the epidemic on the economic trajectory, and the balanced convergence between years, which reflects the requirements of looking ahead and looking back, and interval control. It can be believed that with the support of macroeconomic policies and the efforts of market players, the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year are sure to be achieved. " He introduced policy measures from the following six aspects.

  First, maintain the necessary support for macroeconomic policies.To promote the steady, healthy and sustainable development of the economy, we must maintain the continuity, stability and sustainability of macro policies, do not make sharp turns, and adjust and improve them in a timely manner according to changes in the situation. We will continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy. In 2021, the general public budget expenditure will exceed 25 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.8% over the previous year; General transfer payments from the central government to local governments increased by 7.8%; Balanced transfer payments increased by more than 10%. We will continue to implement a prudent monetary policy, and the growth rate of money supply and social financing scale will basically match the nominal economic growth rate. The nominal GDP growth rate may be higher this year, and the liquidity should be kept reasonable and abundant. We will continue to implement the employment priority policy, increase the number of new jobs in cities and towns by 2 million compared with last year, continue to give necessary financial and other policy support to enterprises that do not lay off employees and reduce unemployment and industrial injury insurance rates.

  Second, we will continue to implement the policy of benefiting enterprises to help them out.Enterprises are the source of economic growth. If 140 million market players are stabilized, the basic economy will be stabilized. In terms of tax reduction policies, we will continue to implement institutional tax reduction policies, extend the implementation period of some phased policies, and implement new structural tax reduction measures. In terms of financial policy, we will continue the policy of deferring the repayment of principal and interest of loans to small and micro enterprises, and guide more bank funds to flow to small and micro enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, etc. The loans of large commercial banks to small and micro enterprises will increase by more than 30%, giving targeted support to industries and enterprises affected by the epidemic and continuing to guide the financial system to make profits to the real economy. In terms of cost reduction, we will continue to promote the reduction of general industrial and commercial electricity prices, reduce the average tariff of broadband and private lines for small and medium-sized enterprises by another 10%, cancel port construction fees, reduce the levy standard for airlines of the Civil Aviation Development Fund by another 20%, and encourage places that are greatly affected by the epidemic to reduce rents for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households that rent state-owned houses.

  The third is to make good use of the reform policy.Reform is both a driving force and an integral part of macro-policies. Steady growth and development must rely more on the fundamental driving force of reform and innovation. The reform policy should focus on stimulating the vitality of the market, adhere to the "two unswerving", implement the action plan of building a high-standard market system, and deepen the system reform of streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services, enterprises, taxation, finance and price. The opening-up policy should strengthen support and guarantee, stabilize the basic market of foreign trade and foreign investment, stabilize the scale of trade and market players, promote the steady and qualitative increase of foreign trade import and export volume, maintain the basic balance of international payments, promote the construction of open highlands such as the Pilot Free Trade Zone and Hainan Free Trade Port, and promote international cooperation by relying on the advantages of China’s big market, and promote the domestic and international double cycle.

  The fourth is to clarify the development of science and technology and the orientation of industrial policies.Science and technology are the driving force of development, and industry is the vital foundation of development. It is necessary to strengthen self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology, vigorously enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation, substantially increase investment in basic research, effectively tackle key core technologies, and further strengthen international cooperation in the field of science and technology. It is necessary to deepen the supply-side structural reform, focus on revitalizing and developing the real economy, promote the upgrading of industrial base and the modernization of industrial chain, carry out special actions for the development of advanced manufacturing clusters, increase the deduction ratio of R&D expenses of manufacturing enterprises to 100%, fully refund the incremental VAT tax allowance to advanced manufacturing enterprises every month, increase the proportion of manufacturing loans, implement some policies to promote the high-quality development of integrated circuit industry and software industry in the new period, and continue to promote the integration of advanced manufacturing industry and modern service industry.

  Fifth, pay attention to demand side management.To build a new development pattern, we must firmly grasp the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, accelerate the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system, promote the coordinated development of domestic demand and external demand, and give full play to the basic, key and supporting roles of consumption, investment and export in economic growth. The focus here is on consumption. To expand consumption, we must steadily expand employment and maintain the steady growth of residents’ income. At the same time, we should see that the per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents actually decreased by 4% last year, which was lower than the actual growth rate of the per capita disposable income of the national residents of 2.1%. This was mainly due to the epidemic situation, and the contact and aggregation consumption was restricted. Therefore, in order to tap the consumption potential, we should do a good job in promoting residents’ consumption under the condition of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and also focus on expanding commodity consumption, including commodity consumption, service consumption, healthy consumption, information consumption, online consumption and green consumption. In terms of automobiles, it is necessary to carry out automobile trade-in and trade-in to the countryside, and guide some localities and cities to continue to liberalize the purchase restriction policy for new energy vehicles and increase indicators. This is conducive to expanding automobile consumption and promoting the healthy and orderly development of new energy vehicles. Last year, the output of new energy vehicles in China reached 1.456 million, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%. In terms of housing, it is necessary to effectively increase the supply of affordable rental housing and shared property housing, alleviate the housing difficulties of new citizens and young people, and ensure the housing needs of the masses.

  Sixth, promote the development of green and low-carbon cycle.Strengthening eco-environmental protection is conducive to creating new growth points for high-quality development. It is necessary to take the opportunity of promoting peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality to speed up the adjustment and optimization of industrial structure and energy structure. In 2020, the installed capacity of renewable energy in China has reached 934 million kilowatts. It is necessary to further expand the installed capacity of renewable energy, promote the coordinated and orderly development of clean energy growth and energy storage, cultivate and expand energy-saving and environmental protection industries with a scale of trillions of yuan, promote the green transformation of key industries and important fields, and achieve the goal of reducing energy consumption per unit GDP by about 3% and continuing to reduce the discharge of major pollutants.
