Looking back on the past year, multiple difficulties and challenges have been intertwined and superimposed, and China's economy has developed in waves and zigzags, and the achievements have been hard-won. From an international point of view, the world economic recovery is sluggish, geopolitical conflicts are intensifying, protectionism and unilateralism are on the rise, and the adverse impact of the external environment on China's development continues to increase. From a domestic point of view, after three years of the impact of the new crown epidemic, there are many problems in the recovery and development of the economy itself, and the deep-seated contradictions accumulated for a long time have accelerated, and many new situations and new problems have followed. The decline in external demand and the lack of domestic demand have collided, cyclical and structural problems coexist, and the risks and hidden dangers of real estate, local debt, and small and medium-sized financial institutions in some places have become prominent, and some areas have suffered from serious natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, and earthquakes. Under such circumstances, the dilemmas faced by policy choices and work progress have increased significantly. Through the joint efforts of the whole country, not only the expected development goals for the whole year have been achieved, but also positive changes have occurred in many aspects. In particular, we have deepened our understanding of the laws governing economic work in the new era and accumulated valuable experience in overcoming major difficulties. Practice has fully shown that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the Chinese people have the courage, wisdom and ability to overcome any difficulties and obstacles, and China's development will surely break through the waves and the future can be expected!

Over the past year, we have thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and have done the following work in accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee.

Focusing on expanding domestic demand, optimizing the structure, boosting confidence, and preventing and defusing risks, we will continue to optimize a number of phased policies, launch a number of new policies in a timely manner, and play a strong and effective policy combination. Fiscal policies have been strengthened to improve efficiency, strengthen expenditure guarantees in key areas, add more than 2.2 trillion yuan in tax incentives throughout the year, and issue an additional 1 trillion yuan of treasury bonds to support post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, and enhance disaster prevention, mitigation and relief capabilities. The monetary policy was precise and powerful, with two cuts in the reserve requirement ratio and two cuts in the policy interest rate, and significant growth in loans for scientific and technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, inclusive small and micro enterprises, and green development. Policies to support consumption of automobiles, home furnishings, electronic products, and tourism have been introduced, bulk consumption has rebounded steadily, and consumption of living services has accelerated its recovery. We have given full play to the role of government investment in leveraging, formulated policies to promote private investment, and increased investment in energy, water conservancy and other infrastructure and manufacturing industries. According to the city's policies, we will optimize the regulation and control of real estate, promote the reduction of housing loan costs, and actively promote the work of ensuring the delivery of buildings. We have formulated and implemented a package plan for resolving local debts, and handled financial risks in a classified manner, so as to maintain the bottom line of preventing systemic risks.

The second is to rely on innovation to lead industrial upgrading and enhance the new momentum of urban and rural regional development. Strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological forces, and speed up the implementation of major scientific and technological projects. Comprehensively deploy and promote new industrialization. Measures to stabilize the operation of the industrial economy and support the advanced manufacturing industry have been introduced, the proportion of R&D expenses deducted by enterprises in key industries has been increased, and the high-quality development of key industrial chains has been promoted, and the profits of industrial enterprises have turned from falling to rising.

We have improved the system and mechanism for coordinated regional development, launched a number of new measures and implemented a number of major projects in the implementation of major regional strategies, and continuously enhanced the coordination and balance of regional development.

The third is to deepen reform and expand opening up, and continue to improve the business environment.

Dear Representatives!

The achievements made in the past year are fundamentally due to the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and the unity and struggle of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country. On behalf of the State Council, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the people of all nationalities throughout the country, to the democratic parties, to the people's organizations, and to people from all walks of life! to the compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese! and to the governments, international organizations, and friends of all countries who care about and support China's modernization.

While affirming the achievements, we are also soberly aware of the difficulties and challenges we are facing. The momentum of world economic growth is insufficient, regional hotspot issues are frequent, and the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment are rising. The foundation for China's sustained economic recovery is not solid, the effective demand is insufficient, some industries have overcapacity, social expectations are weak, there are still many risks and hidden dangers, there are blockages in the domestic cycle, and there are interferences in the international cycle. Some small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households have difficulties in operation. The pressure on total employment and structural contradictions coexist, and there are still many shortcomings in public services. In some localities, the financial resources at the grassroots level are rather tight. The ability to innovate in science and technology is not strong. There are still many hard bones to gnaw on in the reform of key areas. There is a long way to go in the protection of the ecological environment. The weak link of safety production cannot be ignored. There are deficiencies in government work, formalism and bureaucracy are still quite prominent, and some reform and development measures are not in place. Some cadres lack the spirit of taking responsibility and doing practical work, passively avoid responsibility, and make superficial statements. Corruption is still a problem in some areas. We must face up to the problems and challenges, do our best to do a good job, and never let down the expectations and trust of the people!

2. Overall requirements and policy orientations for economic and social development in 2024

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and a crucial year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. To do a good job in government work, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, and adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability in accordance with the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference. Fully implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, focus on promoting high-quality development, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, increase macroeconomic regulation and control, coordinate the expansion of domestic demand and deepen supply-side structural reform, coordinate the comprehensive revitalization of new urbanization and rural areas, coordinate high-quality development and high-level security, and effectively enhance economic vitality, prevent and resolve risks, We will improve social expectations, consolidate and strengthen the positive trend of economic recovery, continue to promote the effective improvement of the quality and reasonable growth of the economy, improve people's livelihood and well-being, maintain social stability, and comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization.

Comprehensive analysis and judgment show that the environment facing China's development this year is still the coexistence of strategic opportunities and risks and challenges, and the favorable conditions are stronger than the unfavorable factors. China has significant institutional advantages, the demand advantage of the super-large-scale market, the supply advantage of a complete industrial system, the talent advantage of a large number of high-quality workers, the ability of scientific and technological innovation is continuously improving, the growth of new industries, new models and new kinetic energy is accelerating, the endogenous driving force of development is accumulating, and the basic trend of economic recovery and long-term improvement has not changed and will not change, and confidence and confidence must be enhanced. At the same time, we must adhere to the bottom-line thinking and be fully prepared to deal with various risks and challenges. As long as we implement the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, firmly seize the favorable opportunity, make good use of the favorable conditions, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all aspects of entrepreneurship, we will certainly be able to overcome difficulties and challenges, and promote sustained economic improvement and steady and far-reaching development.

The main expected targets for this year's development are: GDP growth of about 5 percent; more than 12 million new jobs in urban areas, and a surveyed urban unemployment rate of about 5.5 percent; consumer price growth of about 3 percent; simultaneous growth of residents' income and economic growth; maintaining a basic balance in the balance of payments; grain output of more than 1.3 trillion catties; energy consumption per unit of GDP reduced by about 2.5 percent; and the quality of the ecological environment continued to improve.

The above-mentioned expected goals are put forward, taking into account the domestic and international situation and various factors, and taking into account the needs and possibilities. The expected target for economic growth is about 5%, which takes into account the needs of promoting employment and income, preventing and resolving risks, and is in line with the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the goal of basically realizing modernization, and also considers the potential and supporting conditions for economic growth, reflecting the requirements of being proactive and promising. Achieving this year's expected goals will not be easy, and it will require policy focus, redoubled efforts, and concerted efforts from all sides.

We must persist in seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability through progress, and establishing first and then breaking down. Stability is the overall situation and foundation, and all regions and departments should come up with more policies that are conducive to stabilizing expectations, growth, and employment, prudently introduce contractionary and repressive measures, and clean up and abolish policies and regulations that are contrary to high-quality development. Progress is the direction and driving force, should be established to take the initiative to stand up, should be broken on the basis of the resolute break, especially in the way of change, adjust the structure, improve quality, increase efficiency in the positive and enterprising. We will strengthen counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical macroeconomic adjustments, continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy, and strengthen the innovation and coordination of policy tools.

The proactive fiscal policy should be moderately strengthened to improve quality and efficiency. Comprehensively consider development needs and fiscal sustainability, make good use of fiscal policy space, and optimize the mix of policy tools. The deficit rate is planned to be arranged at 3 percent, and the deficit scale is 4.06 trillion yuan, an increase of 180 billion yuan over the budget at the beginning of last year. It is expected that fiscal revenue will continue to resume growth this year, and with the transfer of funds, the scale of general public budget expenditure will be 28.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.1 trillion yuan over the previous year. It is planned to arrange 3.9 trillion yuan of local government special bonds, an increase of 100 billion yuan over the previous year. In order to systematically solve the problem of funding for the construction of some major projects in the process of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, it is planned to issue ultra-long-term special treasury bonds for several consecutive years starting this year, which will be specially used for the implementation of major national strategies and security capacity building in key areas, and 1 trillion yuan will be issued this year. At present, it is necessary to increase financial input in many aspects, vigorously optimize the expenditure structure, strengthen the major national strategic tasks and basic financial guarantees for people's livelihood, and strictly control general expenditures. The central government should increase the intensity of balanced transfer payments to local governments and appropriately tilt towards difficult areas, and the provincial government should promote the sinking of financial resources and strengthen the bottom line of the "three guarantees" at the grassroots level. Implement structural tax and fee reduction policies, and focus on supporting scientific and technological innovation and the development of manufacturing industry. We should strictly enforce financial and economic discipline, strengthen financial and accounting supervision, strictly prohibit face-saving projects and image projects, and resolutely stop extravagance and waste. Governments at all levels must get used to living a tight life, really make careful calculations, and earnestly use their financial funds to the best of their ability and achieve real results.

A prudent monetary policy should be flexible, moderate, precise and effective. Liquidity should be kept reasonably abundant, and the scale of social financing and money supply should be commensurate with the expected targets of economic growth and price levels. Strengthen the dual adjustment of aggregate volume and structure, revitalize stocks, improve efficiency, and increase support for major strategies, key areas and weak links. Promote the steady and moderate decline of comprehensive social financing costs. Smooth the monetary policy transmission mechanism to avoid the idling of capital precipitation. Enhance the intrinsic stability of the capital market. Maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level. Vigorously develop science and technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance. Optimize supporting measures such as financing credit enhancement, risk sharing, and information sharing, to better meet the financing needs of small, medium and micro enterprises.

Enhance the consistency of macroeconomic policy orientation. Focusing on the overall development situation, strengthen the coordination and cooperation of fiscal, monetary, employment, industrial, regional, science and technology, environmental protection and other policies, incorporate non-economic policies into the consistency assessment of macro policy orientation, strengthen policy coordination, and ensure that efforts are made in the same direction and form a joint force. All regions and departments should carefully listen to and absorb the opinions of all parties in formulating policies, and enterprise-related policies should focus on communicating with the market and responding to the concerns of enterprises. The implementation of policies should strengthen coordination and linkage, amplify the combination effect, and prevent one from neglecting the other and hindering each other. The research reserve policy should be more forward-looking, enrich the toolbox, and leave redundancy to ensure that it can be rolled out in a timely manner and effectively when needed. Strengthen the tracking and evaluation of policy implementation, take the satisfaction of enterprises and the masses as an important yardstick, and make timely adjustments and improvements. Accurately do a good job in policy publicity and interpretation, and create a stable, transparent and predictable policy environment.

To accomplish this year's development goals and tasks, we must thoroughly implement Xi Jinping's economic thought and focus on promoting high-quality development. Strengthen the concept of systems, grasp and handle major relationships, and plan and promote all work in depth as a whole. Adhere to quality first, efficiency first, continue to consolidate the foundation, enhance the effectiveness of macroeconomic regulation and control, pay attention to the expectations of enterprises and the masses to find the focus of work, policy force, and strive to achieve the annual growth target. Adhere to high-quality development and high-level safety and benign interaction, and on the premise of sticking to the bottom line of safety, think more for development and help enterprises. Persist in ensuring and improving people's livelihood in the process of development, pay attention to the problem of making up for the shortcomings of people's livelihood with a development mindset, and cultivate new economic growth points while solving the people's urgency, hardship and hope. Fundamentally speaking, promoting high-quality development depends on reform. We need to deepen reform and opening up with greater determination and intensity, promote a better combination of an effective market and a promising government, continue to stimulate and enhance social vitality, and promote high-quality development to achieve new and greater results.
