Based on the hot topics of the annual National Two Sessions, the author believes that the focus of the people at the two sessions in 2017 is at least the following three aspects: 1. What are the channels for increasing residents’ income?

The government work report stated that this year's GDP will grow by about 6.5%, and we will strive for better results in actual work, and residents' income and economic growth will basically be in sync.

Among the many policies to benefit the people this year, pensions and low-income group protection will generally and directly increase people's income.

It is reported that from 2005 to 2016, my country's retiree pension standards have achieved "twelve consecutive increases."

Last year, the basic pension level for my country’s retirees increased by about 6.5%.

This year’s government work report made it clear that the basic pension for retirees will continue to be increased to ensure that it is paid in full and on time.

This means that retirees’ pensions will achieve “thirteen consecutive increases.”

Chu Fuling, director of the Social Security Research Center of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that after successive adjustments, the pension base for retirees has been significantly improved.

The adjustment of pension benefits for retirees this year should not only reflect the sharing of development results, but also need to take into account comprehensive factors such as economic growth, the average salary growth rate of active employees, and the affordability of pension insurance funds.

In addition, in terms of security for low-income groups, the budget report proposes: scientifically and rationally determine the minimum living security standards for urban and rural areas; improve the assistance and support policies for extremely poor people; and timely study and adjust the pension and living subsidy standards for people such as those receiving special care.

Since the beginning of this year, many places have raised the subsistence allowance standards.

The urban and rural subsistence allowance standards in Beijing increased from 800 yuan per capita per month last year to 900 yuan; the comprehensive increase in the urban and rural subsistence allowance standards in Wuhan was not less than 10%.

In addition, a series of tax cuts and fee reductions and financial support and subsidy policies will benefit the people and allow many families to increase their income and reduce expenditures.

2. Which groups will obviously benefit?

In the government work report, in addition to inclusive income growth policies, there are also many income adjustment policies for specific groups.

Among them, the "money bags" of three groups will obviously benefit: 1. Rural poor groups.

Fiscal investment in poverty alleviation will increase significantly this year.

Based on the national fiscal special poverty alleviation funds investment of more than 100 billion yuan last year, the central fiscal special poverty alleviation funds increased by more than 30%; the rural poor population will be reduced by more than 10 million, and 3.4 million people will be relocated for poverty alleviation.

2. Doctoral candidates.

Education remains the focus of investment.

The government work report proposes to increase the standard of national scholarships for doctoral students.

The reporter learned from the interview that at present, the "Interim Measures for the Management of National Grants for Postgraduate Students" issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education in 2013 clearly states that the funding standard for doctoral students in universities affiliated to central departments is 12,000 yuan per student per year, and the standard for national scholarships for local universities is

It is determined by each province.

3. Small and micro enterprise entrepreneurs.

The government work report clearly stated that multiple measures should be taken to reduce costs.

Among them, the scope for small and micro enterprises to enjoy the 50% reduction in income tax is expanded, and the upper limit of annual taxable income is increased from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan; the super deduction ratio of research and development expenses for small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises is increased from 50% to 75%.

3. What changes will occur to people’s daily expenses?

1. Medical expenses.

The government work report clearly stated that the financial subsidy for medical insurance for urban and rural residents will be increased from 420 yuan to 450 yuan per person per year; direct settlement of hospitalization expenses for medical treatment in other places will be realized; and all drug markups will be cancelled.

The fiscal budget report proposes to comprehensively implement the reform of medical insurance payment methods that focus on payment based on disease type and combine multiple payment methods to control the unreasonable increase in medical expenses.

Some people in the industry pointed out that raising the standard of medical insurance financial subsidies will lay the foundation for the next step to increase the standard of medical insurance reimbursement and payment and expand coverage.

The elimination of drug mark-ups and the implementation of payment based on disease type will directly and effectively reduce the burden of medical treatment and treatment on patients.

Wang Guobin, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that the direct settlement of hospitalization expenses for out-of-town medical treatment this year will bring a lot of convenience to patients with serious diseases treated in other places, especially migrant workers, when seeking medical treatment, and can reduce costs.

Travel expenses for both sides.

2. Communication expenses.

The government work report proposed that greater steps should be taken to improve network speeds and reduce fees this year. Domestic long-distance and roaming charges for mobile phones will be eliminated within the year, Internet dedicated line access charges for small and medium-sized enterprises will be significantly reduced, and international long-distance phone charges will be reduced.

China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, the three major operators, stated at a relevant press conference on the 6th that they plan to completely cancel domestic long-distance and roaming charges for mobile phones starting from October 1 this year.

Lu Ling, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said that while reducing long-distance charges and roaming charges, we should also take into account the high traffic charges that everyone is concerned about, so that everyone can truly realize the benefits of speeding up and reducing charges.

3. Consumption expenditure.

The plan report proposed that the expected target for consumer price increase this year is about 3%, mainly considering the tail-off factors this year and the fact that since September last year, the industrial producer price index (PPI) has turned from negative to positive, and has shifted to downstream industries and terminal consumption.

Transmission, etc., will form new price increase factors.
