The general secretary stressed that 2024 is the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and a key year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. It is necessary to adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, implement the requirements of seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability through progress, and establishing first and then breaking through, continue to consolidate and enhance the positive trend of economic recovery, continue to promote the effective improvement of the quality of the economy and reasonable growth in quantity, and promote Chinese-style modernization in a solid and steady manner. How to grasp the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability in practice has become a hot topic of discussion among many deputies and members of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress during the two sessions.
Xing Zhengjun, deputy secretary of the Lianyungang Municipal Party Committee and mayor of Jiangsu Province, said that the key to doing a good job in this year's economic work is to follow the deployment of the first economic work conference, take "stability" as the overall situation and foundation, and "progress" as the direction and driving force to ensure the implementation of various key tasks of high-quality development.
"Stability" and "progress" complement each other. Qi Xiangdong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and chairman of Qi'anxin Group, believes that the essence of seeking progress while maintaining stability is to solve contradictions and problems in the process of development. To adhere to "stability" is to maintain the basic stability of macroeconomic policies and the smooth operation of economic and social development; To promote "progress" is to strengthen innovation-driven, deepen reform and opening up, change the mode, adjust the structure, improve quality, and increase efficiency. On the basis of respecting the objective law of the development of things, we should organically unify the two, and we should neither blindly seek stability nor rush forward, but should promote "progress" with "stability" and ensure "stability" with "progress."
How to guide this year's economic work by seeking progress while maintaining stability? Deputy Xing Zhengjun believes that as far as local governments are concerned, they should make every effort to stabilize growth, focus on strengthening industries, make every effort to promote opening up, and focus on improving the environment. For example, in terms of stable growth, Lianyungang will promote the growth of regional GDP by 7%, and the income of urban and rural residents will be synchronized with economic growth; In terms of strong industries, Lianyungang will focus on six leading industries and further promote new industrialization; In terms of promoting opening-up, Lianyungang will be guided by building a strong fulcrum of the "Belt and Road", promote the two-way opening up of the east and west from a higher starting point, and continuously expand the city's radiation and influence; In terms of optimal environment, Lianyungang will continue to deepen the reform of "delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, and improving services", further smooth the communication channels between government and enterprises, and continuously stimulate the surging vitality of government and enterprises to work together to fight for the economy and promote development.
Committee member Qi Xiangdong suggested that the foundation for "stability" should be further consolidated through three points. further improve the stability, transparency, fairness and predictability of the business environment, continue to improve the negative list for market access, and ensure fair competition among all types of business entities; We will further reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, continue to improve the long-term mechanism for reducing the burden on enterprises, accelerate the construction and improvement of the public service system for small and medium-sized enterprises, and open up the "last mile" for service enterprises; We will further strengthen market confidence, strengthen policy publicity and implementation, guide enterprises to maintain strategic focus and patience, seize the opportunity to transform and upgrade, and improve the core competitiveness of enterprises. At the same time, in the vigorous reform, high-intensity research and development and in-depth opening up to stimulate the momentum of "progress". (Economic ** reporter She Huimin Ji Yajiao).
