Chapter 034 yù spirit is about to be born

In the northeast, those "reform standard-bearers" and "entrepreneurs" who relied on the reform of state-owned enterprises and are trying to carve up state-owned assets think of this method proposed by Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen does not care very much now, in the name of the central government and the huge political power of the Xiao system in the northeast, Xiao Chen not only does not worry about the backlash of some people against this method, but even hopes to a certain extent that a few unscrupulous birds can jump out, and if they don't fight a few early birds, people really can't really understand his Director Xiao's determination.

It's just that now Xiao Chen is the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission after all, and his job is not only to pay attention to and guide the revitalization of old industrial bases such as Northeast China. Especially when the end of the year comes, all kinds of data from all over the country begin to be summarized to the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Development and Reform Commission should not only analyze these huge data, but also use this as a basis to formulate a national overall plan for next year and even beyond, and finally make a proposal to the Government Council. As Deputy Director Xiao Chen, who has been in charge of several important tasks, he is naturally getting more and more busy.

No, today the National Development and Reform Commission held an executive meeting within the committee, the topic is a combination of two: summarize this year's work, formulate next year's plan, of course, as the National Development and Reform Commission, the main conclusions reached by today's meeting, will be recorded, after the revision of the secretaries at all levels, it will become the two sessions of this year, Director Liu Kai was entrusted by the Government Council to make the work report of the Development and Reform Commission to the General Assembly.

Such an important meeting was naturally presided over by Comrade Liu Kai himself, attended by all members of the party group, and the top leaders of various departments and bureaus were summoned to attend. As the fourth-ranked deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Xiao Chen's seat is naturally behind Director Liu Kai, Executive Deputy Director Zhou Shuzhong, Deputy Director Wang Ren'an and Deputy Director Liu Hong, and after Xiao Chen, there are 6 deputy directors and the director of the State Material Reserve Bureau, who is also a member of the party group, and the secretary-general and deputy secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission.

The first item on the agenda of the meeting was, of course, the implementation of the 2003 national economic and social development plan.

Director Liu Kai, as a director of the National Development and Reform Commission who was born by the deputy secretary-general of the Government Council, seems to be quite literate and kind, and rarely has any aggressive style, of course, his speech is also in place, absolutely meticulous, and half a sentence or even half a word will not be wrong: "In the past year, under the leadership of Huaxia, the people of all ethnic groups across the country have actively promoted reform, opening up and modernization in accordance with the resolution of the first session of the Tenth National People's Congress on national economic and social development, and won a major victory in the fight against China. Having overcome natural disasters and other difficulties, the national economy has shown a good trend of relatively rapid growth, relatively good economic returns, and relatively strong vitality, and the main expected goals of economic and social development have been smoothly achieved. Now, I would like to ask all responsible comrades to make a brief summary of their work. ”

Such an answer is generally in accordance with the division of labor, but it is also necessary to take into account the ranking of the deputy directors, like this question, the first to answer is of course Executive Deputy Director Zhou Shuzhong: "According to the director's requirements, I will briefly summarize that in general, the economy has grown rapidly and the efficiency has been greatly improved. The GDP was 116694 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1 percent over the previous year, and the per capita GDP was 9,030 yuan, exceeding $1,000 for the first time at the current exchange rate, stepping up to an important level. The growth of domestic demand accelerated, with the investment in fixed assets reaching 5,511.8 billion yuan, up by 26.7 percent, the total retail sales of consumer goods reaching 4,584.2 billion yuan, up by 9.1 percent, and the overall level of consumer prices rising by 1.2 percent.

Economic benefits are growing at the same time. The national fiscal revenue was 2.17 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.7 percent. The economic efficiency of the industry has reached a record high. The profits of industrial enterprises above designated size reached 815.2 billion yuan, an increase of 42.7 percent, an increase of 22 percentage points. State-owned and state-controlled enterprises achieved profits of 378.4 billion yuan, an increase of 45.2 percent. The sales rate of industrial products was 98.1%. ”

Wang Ren'an, deputy director in charge of macroeconomic adjustment, went on to say: "Structural adjustment has been actively promoted, and economic vitality has been continuously enhanced. The area of high-quality agricultural products has increased, and high-quality special wheat has accounted for 38 percent of the total sown area of wheat, an increase of 7 percentage points. Bulk agricultural products are further concentrated in advantageous producing areas. Animal husbandry and fisheries continued to develop, with the output of nǎi increasing by 25%. Major agriculture, forestry and water conservancy projects are progressing smoothly. The high-tech manufacturing sector has become the dominant force in industrial growth. The manufacturing of electronic information products increased by 34%. Investment in treasury bonds continues to play a major role in promoting structural adjustment, and a number of projects that have played a major role in promoting long-term economic and social development have been completed and put into operation one after another. The Three Gorges Reservoir was successfully impounded, the permanent locks were opened to navigation, and the first batch of generating units were put into operation. The eastern and central routes of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project have started one after another. 46,000 kilometers of highways were newly opened to traffic. The mileage of the new railway put into operation is 1,164 kilometers. The pace of power construction has accelerated, with power generation reaching 1.9 trillion kilowatt hours, an increase of 15.5 percent, the newly started and newly put into operation power generation capacity has exceeded the tertiary industry to continue to develop, and some emerging service industries have grown substantially, with 532 million telephone users and 112 million new ones.

The ability of the economy to grow independently has been enhanced. The company's own funds for renovation increased by 30.2%. Investment in the non-state-owned economy was active, with collective and individual investment increasing by 22.9 percent, 6.1 percentage points faster than the previous year. The export of products of collective enterprises increased by 83.1%, which became an important factor in the rapid growth of exports.

Then, it was Xiao Chen who continued to speak, it was not that he wanted to be in front of Deputy Director Liu Hong, but that he was in charge of the basic industry, and this piece belonged to the economic category, and Deputy Director Liu Hong's project was still a little behind.

Xiao Chen said: "This year, new steps have been taken in the development of the western region, and the revitalization strategy of old industrial bases in the northeast region has begun to be implemented. Ecological construction and environmental protection in the western region have been further strengthened. 3.37 million hectares of farmland were returned to forests, 3.77 million hectares of barren mountains and wastelands were afforested, and 6.66 million hectares of seriously degraded grasslands were brought under control. Infrastructure construction has been intensified. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has completed a total of 317 kilometers of track laying on new lines. The eastern section of the West-East Gas Transmission Project was completed, and gas supply to East China was realized. The new power transmission capacity from the west to the east exceeded 8 million kilowatts. 4,200 kilometers of inter-county roads have been built or renovated, 8.6 million rural people have been provided with drinking water, and more than 300,000 rural households have access to rural biogas. The revitalization strategy of old industrial bases in the Tohoku region was launched. The eastern and central regions continued to accelerate their development, and new economic growth points were constantly being generated. ”

Don't forget, in addition to being the deputy head of the leading group for the revitalization of old industrial bases in the northeast, Xiao Chen is also the deputy head of the leading group for the development of the western region, and is also in charge of the rise of the central region.

Then there was Deputy Director Liu Hong, who pushed the frame of his glasses: "This year, China's science and technology, education, and various social undertakings have developed in an all-round way, and new progress has been made in ecological construction and environmental protection. Basic and high-tech research has been strengthened. The construction of the national innovation system continues to advance. The first manned flight of Shenzhou 5 was a complete success, becoming another milestone in China's high-tech development. Education continues to develop. New progress has been made in compulsory education. The number of students enrolled in ordinary colleges and universities nationwide was 3.822 million, an increase of 617,000 over the previous year. The construction of public health infrastructure has been strengthened, and about 6 billion yuan of national debt funds have been arranged for the prevention and treatment of first-class medical infrastructure, the three-level disease prevention and control network at the provincial, prefecture and county levels, and the construction of a medical treatment system for public health emergencies. The natural growth rate of the population was 6.01 per thousand. The construction of key cultural projects is progressing smoothly, and various undertakings such as radio, film and television, press and publication, and sports are constantly developing.

Ecological construction and environmental protection have been intensified, and resource conservation and comprehensive utilization have been strengthened. 2.05 million hectares of ecological public welfare forests and shelter forests will be created. The ban on grazing and fallow grazing has been implemented, so that 8.6 million hectares of grassland have been effectively protected and rationally utilized. The pace of pollution control in key river basins and regions, such as the 'Three Rivers and Three Lakes' and the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, has been accelerated. The rate of centralized treatment of urban sewage, the rate of harmless treatment of domestic waste, and the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste have increased. ”

Deputy Director Zhao, who is in charge of structural reform and foreign trade, looked at the materials in his hand unhurriedly and said: "In terms of reform, this year's reforms have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the opening up to the outside world has been expanding. The institutional reform of the Government Council has been successfully completed, and the reform of provincial-level government institutions has been steadily advanced. The pilot reform of rural taxes and fees has been carried out nationwide. Important strides have been made in the reform of the state-owned asset management system and state-owned enterprises. Reforms in the electric power, telecommunications, civil aviation and other industries continued to advance. The export tax rebate mechanism has been continuously improved. The reform process of state-owned commercial banks has been accelerated. Huaxia People's Insurance Company and Huaxia Life Insurance Company completed the shareholding reform and reorganization, and successfully listed overseas. The pilot reform of rural credit cooperatives in eight provinces and cities is progressing smoothly. The pilot reform of the cultural system was launched. We have rectified and regulated the order of the market economy, investigated and dealt with a number of major and important cases, and gradually improved the market environment.

Foreign trade is growing rapidly. The total value of imports and exports reached 851.2 billion US dollars, an increase of 37.1 percent. The field of foreign investment continued to expand, the quality of foreign investment continued to improve, and the actual utilization of foreign direct investment reached 53.5 billion US dollars. New progress has been made in the implementation of the "going out" strategy, the scope of overseas investment has been further expanded, and the investment methods have become increasingly diversified.

Then it was Xiao Chen's turn to speak, this time about employment and social security, which is also in charge of him: "From a national point of view, jobs continue to increase, and people's lives are further improved. 8.59 million new urban jobs were created, and 5.4 million laid-off unemployed people were re-employed, both exceeding the expected targets. At the end of the year, the registered urban unemployment rate was 4.3 percent. the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 8,472 yuan, an increase of 9 percent in real terms; The per capita net income of rural residents was 2,622 yuan, an increase of 4.3 percent in real terms. The basic living expenses of laid-off workers and pensions for retirees are basically paid in full and on time. The coverage of social insurance for old-age care, medical care, unemployment, and work-related injuries has been further expanded. A total of 22.35 million urban residents received subsistence allowance assistance, an increase of 1.7 million. The state has arranged special funds to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas resume production and improve their livelihoods. The scale of cash-for-work continues to expand, and the production and living conditions in poor areas, such as roads, electricity, and drinking water, continue to improve. The pilot project of ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation has been steadily promoted. Under the circumstances of the complex and changeable international situation, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, China's economic and social development has made such achievements, which are not easy to come by. This is the result of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Gu Banglan as general secretary taking charge of the overall situation, calmly coping with the situation, making resolute decisions, and providing correct leadership; it is the result of all localities and departments consciously practicing the important thinking of the 'three represents,' uniting the broad masses of cadres and masses, working hard, and doing solid work; and it is also the result of the NPC's strengthening of supervision and guidance and the CPPCC's active participation in and discussion of state affairs. ”

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he looked at Director Liu Kai, at this time, it was naturally time for Director Liu to make a summary, Director Liu Kai was not verbose, looked at the summary report in his hand, and said: "The reports of all comrades are very timely, I am very satisfied." However, while affirming the achievements, we should also be soberly aware that there are still many difficulties and problems in China's economic and social development that cannot be ignored. Not only have some deep-seated contradictions accumulated over the years yet been resolved, and the structural obstacles that affect economic and social development still exist, but some new situations and problems have emerged in economic operations. ”

He stretched out his finger and said one by one: "First, it is difficult for peasants to increase their income, and grain production has decreased a lot. The growth rate of per capita net income of peasants was 0.5 percentage points lower than that of the previous year. The phenomenon of indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land is quite serious, and the total grain output has decreased by 26.4 billion kilograms over the previous year. Second, the contradiction in employment is prominent. At present, there are still about 13 million laid-off and unemployed people in urban areas, and it is estimated that about 10 million new urban labor force will be added this year, and there will still be a large number of surplus rural labor force that needs to be transferred. Third, the income gap between some members of society is too large, and many low-income residents in urban and rural areas are still living in relative difficulty. Fourth, the problems of irrational economic structure and extensive growth mode still exist. Blind investment and low-level redundant construction in some industries and regions have intensified, the situation of high consumption, resource consumption, and environmental pollution is more serious, the relationship between supply and demand of coal, electricity, oil, and transportation is tense, and the contradiction of resource constraints is becoming increasingly prominent. Fifth, economic and social development are still not in harmony. The public health service system is not perfect, and the overall weakness of rural education has not been fundamentally changed. Sixth, the order of the market economy is still relatively good, the construction of the social credit system needs to be strengthened urgently, and major production safety accidents occur from time to time. With regard to the above problems, we must base ourselves on the present, have our eyes on the long term, and persist in conscientiously resolving them by means of development and reform. ”

Next, it is natural to arrange the 2004 economic and social development regulation and control goals and main tasks, because this article is reported by the National Development and Reform Commission in advance to the Government Council, and then arranged by the Government Council, so there is nothing to discuss, just directly announce the task objectives.

Director Liu Kai said: "2004 is an important year for achieving the goals of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, and it is also a very crucial year for maintaining the good momentum of economic development. To do a good job in this year's economic and social development work, we must be guided by Zheng Nanxun's theory and the important thinking of the 'three represents,' comprehensively implement the spirit of the 16 th National Congress of the Chinese People's Republic of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 16 th CPC Central Committee, adhere to the principle of putting people first, establish and implement a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable outlook on development, and earnestly shift the focus of economic work to readjusting the economic structure, changing the mode of growth, and improving the quality and efficiency of growth in accordance with the requirements of the 'five overall plans,' and protect, guide, and give full play to the enthusiasm of all sectors for speeding up development. We will achieve sustained, rapid, coordinated, and healthy development of the national economy and comprehensive social progress.

The main expected targets for macroeconomic regulation and control in 2004 are as follows:

1. The economic growth rate is about 7%;

2. 9 million new jobs were created in urban areas, and the registered unemployment rate in urban areas was 4.7%;

3. The overall level of consumer prices increased by about 3%;

4. The total import and export volume of foreign trade increased by 8%.

Now, let's discuss how to accomplish the expected goals of macroeconomic regulation and control this year. ”

Executive Deputy Director Zhou Shuzhong smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll throw a brick first, everyone's yù is ready, right?" ”

There was a burst of relaxed laughter in the venue, and the atmosphere was suddenly not as tense as it was just now, and some of the top leaders of the departments and bureaus attending the meeting also let go, although they had no right to speak, but in such a meeting, they did not dare to show the slightest contempt and negligence.

Zhou Shuzhong said: "In order to achieve the expected goal of macroeconomic regulation and control this year, we need to focus on a lot of work. Let me start with a few points: It is necessary to adopt comprehensive measures to increase peasants' incomes and protect and enhance grain production capacity. We should adhere to the principle of 'giving more, taking less, and letting go,' strive to increase peasant incomes, and strive to increase peasants' per capita net income by 5 percent throughout the year. We will continue to promote the strategic restructuring of agriculture and the rural economy. Implement the regional layout plan for advantageous agricultural products, and strengthen agricultural scientific research and technology promotion. Promote the development of rural non-agricultural industries such as intensive processing of agricultural and livestock products, and invigorate the circulation of agricultural products. We should actively develop specialized cooperative economic organizations for peasants and speed up the industrialized operation of agriculture. Strengthen the construction of animal emergency epidemic prevention system, improve the agricultural product standard system, inspection and testing system, and certification system, and implement the 'pollution-free food action plan'. We should actively promote the readjustment and transformation of township and town enterprises, develop small towns in a focused manner, and strengthen the county economy. Vigorously carry out vocational skills training for the rural labor force, strengthen information guidance, and promote the orderly flow of rural surplus labor force. Earnestly solve the problem of deducting and arrears of wages for migrant workers, and establish and improve mechanisms for timely payment of migrant workers' wages. In the rural construction projects supported by the government, special remuneration for farmers is set aside to ensure that farmers receive benefits. We should deepen the reform of rural taxes and fees, reduce the agricultural tax rate, and eliminate the tax on special agricultural products other than tobacco, so as to effectively reduce the burden on peasants. We will expand the scale of cash-for-work programs, improve the mechanism for poverty alleviation and development, do a good job in emergency response to disasters, and make good arrangements for the production and livelihood of rural households in difficulty.

Strengthen the capacity building of grain production and improve the level of national food security. We should expand the sown area of grain and strive to increase the yield per unit of grain and strive to reach 455 billion kilograms of grain output this year. Implement the strictest system of cultivated land protection. Reform the methods of land expropriation, expropriation and compensation mechanisms, and strictly manage the planning and management of the conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural land. We will launch a high-quality grain industry project, focusing on the main grain-producing areas, and concentrate efforts on building a number of national high-quality special grain bases. We should increase investment in projects such as the breeding of improved varieties and the popularization of technology, the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, the transformation of irrigation areas, dry farming and water conservation, the transformation of slopes into ladders, and silt dams, and speed up the transformation of medium- and low-yield fields. It is also necessary to protect basic farmland in the main sales areas, maintain the necessary grain production capacity, and replenish local grain reserves.

In addition, it is necessary to actively readjust the direction of investment in treasury bonds and give full play to the role of investment in treasury bonds in promoting structural adjustment and coordinated development. We should maintain the continuity and stability of macroeconomic policies, adhere to the principle of expanding domestic demand, and continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy. At the same time, according to the changes in the economic situation, the focus and intensity of policy implementation should be adjusted in a timely and appropriate manner. Yesterday, we have all read Premier Wen Chengxi's "Draft Political Work Report," which proposes that 110 billion yuan of long-term construction treasury bonds will be issued this year, and we will conscientiously make good use of the treasury bond funds in accordance with the resolutions that may arise at this congress (referring to the upcoming two sessions). The focus of investment in treasury bonds will be shifted from mainly expanding domestic demand and stimulating economic growth in previous years to concentrating on promoting structural adjustment and coordinated economic and social development. The main investment directions are: First, pay more attention to agricultural and rural development, continue to strengthen the construction of agricultural and rural infrastructure such as the 'six small' projects, and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas; second, pay more attention to the construction of social undertakings, increase investment in the construction of public medical and health care, basic education, grassroots political power, and infrastructure construction of the public procuratorate, procuratorate, and judicial departments, and promote coordinated social and economic development; The third is to support the large-scale development of the western region and the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases such as the northeast region, and promote the coordinated development of the region; Fourth, continue to strengthen ecological construction and environmental protection, and promote the coordinated development of man and nature; Fifth, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of major infrastructure to create conditions for long-term stable economic and social development.

Speed up the construction of key projects for national bonds. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has basically completed the offline project, with a total of 647 kilometers of tracks laid on the main line. The south-to-north water diversion project should speed up the preliminary work, and the projects that have already started should be guaranteed in quality and progress according to the requirements of a reasonable construction period. The West-to-East Gas Pipeline has achieved commercial ventilation on the whole line. The new installed capacity of west-to-east power transmission is 8.2 million kilowatts. The second phase of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Library and the Digital Library project started this year. Strengthen the inspection and supervision of treasury bond projects, improve the efficiency of the use of funds, and ensure the quality of projects. ”

Here Deputy Director Zhou Shuzhong mentioned the possible resolutions of the upcoming two sessions, which is actually not unusual, some major resolutions that may be proposed, as a "small government affairs yuan", most of the NDRC has been informed.

Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of industry, coughed lightly and said: "In terms of industrial and fixed asset investment, it is still necessary to adjust and optimize the industrial structure and maintain steady economic growth. In accordance with the requirements of taking the new road of industrialization, we will focus on revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry, strengthen technological innovation, and accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. Actively promote the industrialization of high and new technologies. We will continue to implement high-tech projects such as direct broadcast satellites, next-generation Internet, biology, and new medicine. Promote the informatization of the national economy and society. Earnestly strengthen the transformation of modern equipment manufacturing bases and develop new industrial clusters. Enhance the ability of independent development and improve the manufacturing level of key complete sets of equipment. Implement special projects for the localization of major equipment such as rail transit, environmental protection equipment, heavy-duty gas turbines, large-scale hydropower equipment, and fully mechanized coal mining equipment.

At present, appropriately controlling the scale of investment in fixed assets and resolutely curbing blind investment and low-level redundant construction in some industries and regions is an important task for readjusting and optimizing the industrial structure, and is also an urgent need for maintaining steady and relatively rapid economic growth and preventing major ups and downs. It is necessary to strengthen and improve macroeconomic regulation and control, persist in being market-oriented, and mainly use economic and legal means, supplemented by necessary administrative means, to guide and promote the healthy development of the steel, electrolytic aluminum, cement, and other industries. We should vigorously promote the joint reorganization of these industries, support enterprises with good economies of scale to accelerate their development, make full use of market mechanisms, and promote the survival of the fittest. Conscientiously implement the policy planning guidance, industry information guidance, strict market access, strengthening land use and credit management and other regulatory measures proposed in the "Draft Political Work Report". Efforts should be made to alleviate the 'bottleneck' constraints on economic development. Speed up the construction of large-scale coal bases and coal transportation channels, and strive to increase coal supply on the premise of ensuring production safety. In accordance with the principle of power first and rational distribution, we will continue to do a good job in the construction of power supply and power grid, start construction of 40 million kilowatts of power generation projects in 2004, put into operation 37 million kilowatts, and build desulfurization facilities simultaneously in accordance with regulations. Strengthen power grid dispatching and demand-side management to ensure safe power supply. We should properly organize the production and import of crude oil and refined oil products, and speed up the establishment of national strategic oil reserves. In accordance with the requirements of market rules, strengthen operation regulation, and promote the supply and demand convergence of coal, electricity, oil, transportation and important raw materials. Strengthen the construction of important transportation arteries and hubs. The fundamental way out to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of coal, electricity, oil, transportation and important raw materials is to earnestly change the mode of economic growth, promote economic restructuring, restrict the blind development of industries and enterprises with high energy consumption, high pollution and resource consumption, and mobilize all walks of life to vigorously save energy and reduce consumption. ”

Then there was Xiao Chen's speech on employment security: "I believe that it is still necessary to adhere to the implementation of an active employment policy, continue to expand residents' consumption and improve people's lives. We will further implement the measures that have been set for fiscal and credit support, tax exemptions and exemptions, and do everything possible to increase jobs. Give full play to the role of labor-intensive industries, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the non-public economy in expanding employment. Vigorously develop the tertiary industry, expand the employment space of traditional service industries such as commerce and trade, catering, and transportation, strive to develop jobs in public health, urban environmental protection, medical care, communities, and domestic services, and actively expand employment fields such as tourism, education, training, culture, sports, and information services. Support various forms of employment, encourage flexible employment and self-employment. Improve the employment service system, improve the reemployment assistance system, and strengthen skills training, job introduction, and employment guidance for laid-off and unemployed persons. We should do a better job in employing college and university graduates, and make good arrangements for demobilized and demobilized servicemen.

We should improve the consumption environment, expand household consumption, and gradually increase the proportion of consumption in GDP. While doing everything possible to increase peasants' incomes, we should also strengthen the construction of rural commodity circulation facilities, commercial outlets, water and electricity circuits, and other infrastructure facilities to create conditions for expanding rural consumption. We will continue to implement the 'two guarantees' and the 'three guarantee lines' to ensure that the basic living expenses of laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises and the pensions of retirees are paid in full and in a timely manner. We will improve the social assistance system, do a good job in the work of urban 'subsistence allowance', and earnestly help families in need solve practical problems. Increase the supply of low- and medium-priced ordinary commodity housing, invigorate the secondary housing market, and expand housing consumption. Actively develop urban public transport. Steadily increase the consumption of personal automobiles and communications. Residents are encouraged to expand tourism, sports and cultural consumption. Speed up the establishment of a credit system and develop consumer credit. It is necessary to combine the expansion of consumption with the strengthening of the regulation of income distribution. Rationally adjust the minimum wage standard and increase the income of urban residents, especially those with low and middle incomes. Strengthen the supervision of income distribution in monopoly industries, strengthen the collection and management of individual income tax, and regulate excessive income. ”

Deputy Director Du, who is in charge of finance, said: "In terms of finance, the key is to promote fiscal revenue and expenditure and maintain the sound operation of finance. We should strengthen tax collection and management, severely crack down on tax evasion and fraud, and maintain a steady growth in fiscal revenue. We should actively readjust the structure of fiscal expenditures, strictly manage expenditures, and focus on increasing investment in the 'three rurals,' employment and social security, and education, science, culture, and public health. Ensure that the salaries of employees of government organs and institutions and the retirement allowances of retired personnel are paid on time and in full, and ensure that the necessary funds for the normal operation of state organs and law enforcement and case handling are ensured. General expenditures continued to be at zero growth. In 2004, the national budget revenue was 2,357 billion yuan, the expenditure was 2,676.8 billion yuan, and the central fiscal deficit was controlled within 319.8 billion yuan.

Comprehensively use a variety of monetary policy tools to reasonably control the scale of money and credit. Efforts should be made to readjust the credit structure, and commercial banks should be encouraged and guided to increase their loan support for promoting structural adjustment, expanding consumption, and increasing employment. We should speed up the development and improvement of the financial market, strengthen financial supervision, and prevent and defuse financial risks. We will continue to improve the mechanism for the formation of the RMB exchange rate and maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level. In 2004, the broad money supply (m2) and the narrow money supply (m1) grew by about 17 per cent respectively. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, according to the previous scheduled procedures, it was Xiao Chen's turn again, this time talking about the regional economy: "Then it is to coordinate the regional economy and promote the complementary advantages and common development of the eastern, central and western regions." We will improve and implement various policies and measures for the large-scale development of the western region. We should do a good job in major projects that have a bearing on the long-term development of the western region and small and medium-sized projects that are closely related to the current interests of the masses. Increase investment in the renovation of inter-county and rural roads. We will continue to solve the problem of drinking water for people and animals. Started the construction of key projects such as the Jiudian Gorge Water Conservancy Project. Speed up the construction of regional airports in the western region. Consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests, and solve the problems of farmers and herdsmen returning farmland to eat, burn firewood, and increase income. Actively develop special economy and advantageous industries. Strengthen the building of the contingent of qualified personnel and laws and regulations in the western region.

Actively implement the strategy of revitalizing old industrial bases such as the Northeast region. Efforts should be made to promote institutional and institutional innovation. Promote the strategic restructuring of key industries such as steel, automobiles, petrochemicals and major equipment manufacturing. Implement policies such as fiscal and taxation, social security, and financial services to support the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases. Promote the economic transformation of resource-based cities.

Support the central region to give full play to its comprehensive advantages in location, resources, talents, education, etc., strengthen the construction of agricultural industrialization bases and manufacturing bases, promote the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure, cultivate new economic growth points, and improve the level of industrialization and urbanization. The eastern region should be encouraged to seize the opportunity to enhance its industrial and technological level and international competitiveness, and regions with the right conditions should take the lead in basically realizing modernization. Strengthen economic exchanges and cooperation in the eastern, central, and western regions, and form a number of economic zones and economic belts with their own characteristics. ”

Deputy Director Zhao, who is in charge of foreign trade, looked at the materials and said: "This year, we will continue to promote the steady growth of foreign trade and further improve the quality and level of the use of foreign capital." We should implement the strategy of invigorating trade through science and technology, winning by quality, and diversifying the market, and strive to expand exports and improve export efficiency. Improve the export tax rebate mechanism. Organize the import of important commodities and advanced technology and equipment. Actively promote the foreign trade agency system, implement the registration system of foreign trade business entities according to law, and implement the autonomy of import and export operations of enterprises of all types of ownership. Accelerate the construction of technical standards and improve the early warning system for industrial damage.

Coordinate domestic development and opening up to the outside world, and continue to implement policies and measures to expand opening up and encourage foreign investment. Pay more attention to the introduction of advanced technology, management experience and high-quality talents. Strengthen macro guidance for overseas investment, improve fiscal, tax, financial and other support policies, and encourage qualified enterprises of all types of ownership to 'go global'.
