Shenzhen Business Daily Beijing Electric (Beijing correspondent Song Hua) On March 8, the State Council Office held a press conference on thoroughly implementing the new development concept and ensuring a good start in the 14 th Five-Year Plan. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the Draft Outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan focuses on making the people feel better. Seven of the 2 main indicators proposed in this draft are people's livelihood and well-being, accounting for more than one-third, which is the highest in previous five-year plans. At the same time, we are sure to achieve the goals and tasks of economic and social development in 221.
The index of people's livelihood and well-being is the highest among the previous five-year plans
Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced at the press conference that the Draft Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan anchored the long-term goal in 235 and focused on the phased tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The draft outline quantifies the main goals and major tasks of economic and social development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, depicts the grand blueprint for China to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and is the action program of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.
on the whole, the "draft outline" mainly embodies the "four highlights". The first is to highlight the core essence of the "three new". The second is to highlight the organic connection of the goal of "two hundred years". The third is to highlight the requirements of coordinating the two major events of development and security. The fourth is to highlight and strengthen the project support for the implementation of major strategic tasks.
Hu Zucai said: "Seven of the 2 main indicators in the Draft Outline are people's livelihood and well-being, accounting for more than one third, which is the highest in previous five-year plans. These indicators cover employment, income, education, medical care, and old-age care. "
It is noteworthy that the Draft Outline proposes to keep GDP as the main indicator, and at the same time set the index value as "keep it in a reasonable range and put it forward according to the situation in each year". Hu Zucai introduced that in the history of the five-year plan, this expression of GDP is the first time. In fact, it is mainly qualitative expression, implying quantitative expression. "It is certain that the GDP growth rate will remain at a certain speed. However, considering that there is still great uncertainty in the external environment in the past five years, not setting a specific quantitative growth target is conducive to responding to various risk challenges more actively, proactively and calmly, enhancing the flexibility of development, leaving room for dealing with uncertainty, and also helping to guide all parties to focus on improving the quality and efficiency of development.
Be sure to achieve the goals and tasks of economic and social development in 221
Ning Ji Zhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that the draft report on the 221 plan puts forward the main goals, policy orientations and specific tasks of economic and social development in 221, including GDP growth of more than 6%, more than 11 million new jobs in cities and towns, urban unemployment rate of about 5.5% and CPI increase of about 3%.
Ning Jizhe said that in 221, the investment scale in the central budget was 61 billion yuan, an increase of 1 billion yuan over the previous year, which was used to concentrate on major, difficult and urgent matters at the national level, and actively support the renovation of old urban communities, "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and the construction of key areas such as water conservancy, major infrastructure, major national strategies, social undertakings and ecological civilization construction. At the same time, 3.65 trillion yuan of local government special bonds will be arranged this year, and the scale is generally stable.
in terms of new infrastructure, this year, the "14th Five-Year Plan" will be issued to vigorously develop the digital economy, expand the application of 5G, and accelerate the construction of industrial internet and data centers. In terms of new urbanization, we will implement urban renewal actions, comprehensively promote the transformation of old urban communities, and promote urbanization with county towns as an important carrier. In terms of major projects, we will promptly promote major transportation and water conservancy projects such as sichuan-tibet railway, Xining-Chengdu Railway and Datengxia Water Control Project.
"With the support of macro policies and the efforts of market players, the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year are sure to be achieved." Ning Ji Zhe analyzed the policy measures. He said that the proactive fiscal policy will continue to be implemented, and the general public budget expenditure will exceed 25 trillion yuan in 221, 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 1%. 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, and continue to reduce unemployment and industrial injury insurance rates.
"Enterprises are the source of economic growth. If 14 million market players are stabilized, the basic economic disk will be stabilized." Ning Ji Zhe said that he would continue to implement the bail-out policy for enterprises. Continue to implement the institutional tax reduction policy. 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 1%, cancel port construction fees, reduce the levy standard for airlines of the Civil Aviation Development Fund by another 2%, 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.
