In the first half of this year, affected by the epidemic, the catering industry in many parts of the country pressed the "pause button" for many times. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce, the national development and Reform Commission and other 11 departments recently jointly issued the notice on the implementation of supporting policies to promote the recovery and development of the catering industry, which clearly requires to promote the recovery and development of the catering industry from six aspects. The notice clearly requires the implementation of the supporting policies to promote the recovery and development of the catering industry from six aspects: accelerating the introduction of relevant subsidy measures, implementing the social insurance enterprise relief policy, expanding enterprise financing channels, enhancing the financing guarantee and credit enhancement function, giving full play to the supporting role of commercial insurance, and supporting the elderly meal aid consumption. The notice requires all regions to scientifically and accurately define the market entities to which the supporting policies apply, so as to realize the full enjoyment. We will issue detailed rules for the implementation of supporting policies, optimize the audit process, and improve service efficiency. According to the data, the scale of China's catering market reached 4.7 trillion in 2021, with about 20million direct employees in the domestic catering industry. Yang Liu, President of the China Cuisine Association: at present, the rescue policy has considered all aspects and is generally comprehensive, but I think the key is to implement it, especially in areas seriously affected by the epidemic. I think it is very important to give some reductions and exemptions to catering enterprises that are in extreme poverty. We should make detailed supporting policies. (Xinhua News Agency)
