On March 8, the Information Office of the Council of State heldPress conference, Introduce the in-depth implementation of the new development concept to ensure a good start to the “14th Five-Year Plan”. Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, presented the “XIV Five-Year Plan”planningThe basic situation of the “Draft scheme”.

He said,GDPIt has always been the most comprehensive and concerned index. The “Draft Scheme”GDPIt is maintained as the main indicator, and the value of the indicator is established as the average annual growth “maintained within a reasonable range and proposed in each year as appropriate.” This expression is the first in the history of the five-year plan. In fact, it is mainly based on qualitative expressions, implicitly quantitative expressions. It is about starting from the general and general situation of advancing in the modernization campaign, fully understanding the development trend and the internal and external environment of the “14th Five-Year Plan” .ArgumentAn adjustment made through repeated comparisons and selections and in-depth research.

First, GDP is a measure of a country’s economy.The level of developmentThe basic indicators reflect the integral economic strength andInternational competitivenessTherefore, the GDP index is still preserved in the main index table of the “Preliminary Draft”, but the expression of the index value has been adjusted.

Second, my country’s economy has explodedqualityIn the development stage, we cannot simply talk about heroes based on GDP growth, much less ignore the consequences of quality, efficiency and the green environment for economic growth; but on the other hand, achieving modernization also requires reasonable growth. My country is still the largest developing country in the world. Development remains the basis and key to solving all problems, and the “Preliminary Draft” has taken these two aspects into account effectively.demand.Economic growthobjectivesPredominantly qualitative expressions and implicit quantitative expressions do not mean that there is no need for GDP growth. The Fifth Plenary Session of the XIX Central Committee proposed that GDP per capita will reach the level of moderately developed countries by 2035, which implies that my country’s GDP growth rate should be maintained in the next 15 years. Reasonable range; at the same time, everyone has seen that other leading indicators in the “Preliminary Draft”, such asunemploymentIndicators such as energy efficiency, intensity of energy consumption and intensity of carbon emission are related to GDP, these indicators give specific figures, which implies that we must strive to achieve economic growth andPotential economic growth ratebe consistent.

Third, GDP growth is sure to hold up at some speed through multiple connections and calculations, and many think tanks have done calculations, however, considering that the external environment remains relatively large in the last five yearsUncertainty, Do not set a specific quantitative growth target, leading to a more active, proactive and calm response to various types ofriskChallenges, improve development flexibility, make room forjobsEmphasis is placed on improving the quality and efficiency of development. Compared to five years, the annual situation is easier to study and judge. Therefore, in the annual work, the annual growth target can be determined according to the internal and external environmental changes and the economic conditions of operation. In fact, the specific value is determined during the year.
