In the first two months, the economy operated smoothly, but affected by the new round of epidemic, changes in the international situation and other unexpected factors, some economic indicators have weakened significantly since March, especially in April, some key areas have become more prominent, logistics is not smooth, the difficulties of some industries and enterprises have intensified, and the new downward pressure on the economy has further increased. We should strengthen our confidence and see that there are still more than 150 million market players in China with strong resilience. At present, prices are generally stable. We have always insisted on not engaging in flood irrigation. Even when the epidemic hit the hardest in 2020, we did not exceed the currency. There is still policy space to deal with new challenges. We should face up to difficulties, deal with shocks, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, effectively coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, act decisively and increase macro policy adjustment. The policies issued should be implemented as soon as possible, and the policies determined by the central economic work conference and the government work report were basically implemented in the first half of the year; All regions and departments should enhance their sense of urgency, tap the potential of policies, make sure that the new measures that are accurate can be used up, and do their best in May, so as to ensure that the economy operates within a reasonable range in the first half of the year and the whole year, and strive to return the economy to the normal track quickly. Li Keqiang said that we should adhere to the reform method to solve the difficulties in moving forward, strive to stabilize growth through stabilizing the main body of the market, ensure employment and basic people's livelihood, and implement the combined relief policies such as tax rebate and tax reduction, so as to enjoy the policy quickly. Give more priority to employment, focus on supporting market players to stabilize their posts, and strengthen policies such as return of unemployment insurance, retention subsidy and retention training. Guide financial institutions to postpone the payment of interest on loans to small, medium-sized and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households. We will increase support for entrepreneurship and innovation, strengthen employment and entrepreneurship services for college graduates, and expand work relief for migrant workers. Li Keqiang said that we should continue to do a good job in the key work of stabilizing the economy. Ensure stable grain production and energy supply, and lay a solid foundation for stabilizing prices and ensuring development. While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, we should further unblock the arteries and microcirculation, open up the connection and blocking points between logistics and upstream and downstream industries, and maintain the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain. We will promote state-owned enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness and take effective measures to enhance the confidence of private enterprises in their development and growth. Support platform economy and digital economy to legally comply with domestic and foreign listing and financing, and create a stable, transparent, fair competition and innovative system, rules and business environment. Urbanization is an inevitable trend. We should stabilize prices and house prices, support residents' reasonable housing needs, and maintain the steady and healthy development of the real estate market. We will promote consumption and effective investment, and do a good job in expanding opening up and stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment. Li Keqiang said that we should give play to the enthusiasm of the central and local governments. All localities have many ways to stabilize the main body of the market and ensure employment. They should work creatively. All departments should support and help local governments solve difficulties and problems and form a joint force to stabilize the economy.
