Since the beginning of this year, in accordance with the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on maintaining stable and rapid economic development, adjusting the economic structure and managing inflation expectations, all regions and departments have actively taken measures to develop production, ensure supply, strengthen supervision, and ensure the market stability.
Smooth operation of supply and prices.
Since July, affected by various factors at home and abroad, the prices of residents' daily necessities, mainly agricultural products, have risen rapidly. This has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life and has also caused some residents to worry about inflation.
This concern is understandable, but we can also say with confidence that our country is fully capable of maintaining basic stability of the overall price level.
The material foundation is relatively strong.
The basic balance between total social supply and total demand is the basis for stabilizing the overall price level.
Although our country has suffered from severe natural disasters since the beginning of this year, grain production has continued to increase and is expected to hit a record high, and the production of meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other products has increased.
At present, my country's supply of grain, pigs, vegetables, fruits, eggs, aquatic products and other agricultural products and residents' daily necessities is sufficient. Even soybeans and edible oils have sufficient government reserves. The national grain inventory accounts for more than 40% of consumption, far from It is higher than the internationally recognized safety level of 17%-18%, which can fully guarantee the supply in the domestic market.
The production capacity of industrial consumer goods far exceeds domestic demand, and there is no basis for price increases.
Regulatory capabilities have been continuously enhanced.
Through the implementation of a package plan to deal with the impact of the international financial crisis, my country's economy has shown a rebounding trend, and the quality and efficiency of economic growth have been further improved.
From January to October this year, the national fiscal revenue was 7.1 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%; in the first eight months, industrial enterprises above designated size achieved profits of 2.6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55%; the national foreign exchange reserves were sufficient, reaching 2.65 by the end of October
trillion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 13.7%.
The enhancement of the country's financial and economic strength can not only increase support for agricultural development, increase the production and supply of residents' daily necessities, support the development of public utilities and public welfare services, and stabilize the prices of goods and services managed by the government; it can also be based on prices
The increase will increase living subsidies for low-income groups and reduce the pressure of price increases.
Control measures are becoming increasingly perfect.
After more than thirty years of institutional reform, my country has initially established a socialist market economic system, a macro-control system compatible with it has basically been formed, and price regulation has become increasingly more targeted and effective.
By focusing on economic and legal means, supplemented by necessary administrative means, and adopting comprehensive policies and key governance, it can not only support production, increase reserves, and promote circulation, but also guide operators to self-discipline prices and crack down on price violations. It can also
Implement temporary price intervention when necessary to stabilize the prices of residents' daily necessities and important means of production.
Richer regulatory experience.
For a long time, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, our country has successfully implemented macro-controls to deal with deflation and control inflation on many occasions, promoting stable and rapid economic development and maintaining the basic stability of the overall price level.
Especially since the new century, our country has effectively responded to abnormal price fluctuations caused by emergencies such as the SARS epidemic, major earthquakes, and rain, snow and ice disasters, and has effectively withstood the impact of the rise and fall of commodity prices in the international market on domestic prices.
It has effectively suppressed the sharp price fluctuations caused by reduced grain production and pig epidemics, and accumulated rich experience in price regulation.
As long as we strengthen our confidence, take effective measures, and grasp the timing, rhythm and intensity of price control, we will be able to maintain the basic stability of the overall level of consumer prices, protect the people's basic life, and maintain and develop a good situation of social harmony and stability.
Recently, the State Council issued the "Notice on Stabilizing the Overall Level of Consumer Prices and Ensuring Basic Livelihoods of the People", which proposed 16 measures to develop production, ensure supply, improve the legal system, strengthen supervision, increase subsidies, and stabilize people's livelihood.
All regions and departments must conscientiously implement the work, put the work of price stabilization in a more prominent position, include it on the important agenda, and adhere to the principle of "based on the present, looking at the long term, comprehensively implementing policies, focusing on governance, ensuring people's livelihood, and stabilizing expectations."
In principle, we will effectively implement the "rice bag" provincial governor responsibility system and the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system, and make new achievements in stabilizing the overall level of consumer prices and ensuring the basic life of the people.
