Learn from the past and know the future, and forge ahead. With the good results of 2023, all provinces have planned for economic and social development in the new year.
So far, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have announced their economic growth targets for 2024, and most regions have targeted growth targets in the range of 5%-6% for 2024. Among them, among the top 10 GDP growth rates in 2023, Hainan unanimously set a growth target of about 8%, which is lower than the year-on-year growth rate of more than 9% in the two places last year, and Xinjiang set a growth target of 6Around 5%, while in the remaining provinces in the top 10, the GDP growth target is generally set at about 6%.
From the perspective of economic scale, the traditional economic provinces have also clarified the goal of "fighting the economy" at the beginning of 2024. A number of provinces with the largest economies have set growth targets around the word "positive". Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places have economic growth targets of about 5% or more this year, while Zhejiang and Fujian have set their economic growth targets at 5About 5%, Sichuan and Hunan set at about 6%.
It is not difficult to find that at the new beginning of 2024, all localities have begun to look forward to a new round of China's economic "spring blossoms".
In fact, at the same time that various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have successively announced their annual economic growth targets, all localities have been riveting and working hard to promote the implementation of large projects. After all, major projects are not only the "ballast stone" of economic development, but also an important starting point for expanding effective investment.
Since January, many major projects have been reported frequently: the first domestic land cable through the sea project was successfully laid in Zhoushan, Zhejiang; The first major project of the follow-up project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the project of diverting the river to supplement the Han River, has entered the stage of full construction; The world's highest-altitude large-scale pumped storage power station has been ...... in Sichuan
In addition, new infrastructure is also "blossoming" in various places. Focusing on strategic emerging industries and future industries, various localities are successively deploying: among the first batch of major projects in Anhui to start mobilization, the top ten emerging industry projects account for 55%; Among the 11th phase of Henan's "three batches" signed projects, the total investment of advanced manufacturing and strategic emerging industry projects exceeded 592 billion yuan......
At the same time, it is also necessary to actively promote the recovery of private investment. In the list of major projects released by Jiangsu Province in 2024, private investment has reached 210, an increase of 84 over last year, an increase of more than 50%, and the proportion of industrial projects is as high as 75%; Shandong Province has also made it clear that it will support private enterprises to participate in railways, highways, urban infrastructure and other projects in 2024.
Among the major projects launched in various places, not only involve infrastructure construction and make up for the shortcomings of people's livelihood, but also the preliminary investment and preparation for new infrastructure to cultivate new economic momentum. It is not difficult to foresee that with the start of a number of major projects in the north and south of the river, the new and old infrastructure is bound to form a huge momentum to support the sustained economic recovery in the country.
Among them, the initiative and courage of the major economic provinces are worth paying attention to. At the end of 2023, the ** Economic Work Conference clearly stated that major economic provinces should really take the lead and make greater contributions to stabilizing the national economy.
Looking back at the course of China's economic development, the leading role of major economic provinces has always been crucial. You must know that the aura of "economic province" means that the comprehensive development strength of the province such as GDP and fiscal revenue are ranked high. For example, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing and other provinces (cities) in the traditional sense of the economy (cities), in addition, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Fujian, Hunan and other provinces with the highest GDP also bear a heavy responsibility.
At present, many provinces have set an example. For example, on January 23, Wang Weizhong, governor of Guangdong Province, said in the work report of Guangdong Province that it is necessary to lead the work of Guangdong with the general goal of "walking in the forefront" and shoulder the responsibility of "a major economic province must really take the lead".
The "big economic province should be brave to take the lead" also appeared in the work report of Zhejiang Province. Zhejiang Province proposed that in 2024, it is necessary to promote the effective improvement of the quality and reasonable growth of the economy, and make more contributions to the overall situation of the country.
It is worth emphasizing that the consolidation and recovery of the national economy also requires coordinated regional development. This not only requires the major economic provinces to take more initiative in driving the coordinated development of the region, release an open attitude, and actively connect with the surrounding areas of the strong provinces, especially the cross-provincial regional interaction and cooperation, but also need the rest of the provinces to take the initiative to connect and integrate into the development strategy that meets the needs of the common development of various places.
Looking forward to 2024, China's economic development is still in a period of coexistence of strategic opportunities, risks and challenges, and increasing uncertainties and unpredictable factors. We must spare no effort to promote the steady implementation of a series of specific tasks such as coordinated regional development, scientific and technological innovation, strengthening the chain and supplementing the chain, and building a new development pattern, so that "spring blossoms" can become the main color of the economic development context in the new year and solidly promote high-quality development.
