Chapter 0526 - No Debt
Xu Haodong emphatically said: "Inviting citizens to be temporary cadres for a few days is not to engage in formalism or showmanship, but to grasp it as a practical matter. Tell all townships, towns, streets, and departments that this is a good opportunity to earnestly follow the mass line and to reshape the image of the government as a cadre, and that it is absolutely not perfunctory. ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "The notice on this activity has been sent to all township streets and departments, before the official start of the activity, I would like to entrust Xiu Jie to convene a video and telephone conference attended by the heads of all township streets and departments, so as to unify everyone's understanding." ”
Chen Xiujie said with a smile: "The problem now is that there are too many people who have signed up, I took a look at the online registration yesterday and was shocked, the number of people has exceeded 30,000." It seems that the general public is very enthusiastic about participating in politics. ”
Xu Haodong said: "Then we will also change the original plan, the number of invitations in each phase is 300, and the applicants will be classified according to their own wishes, and then the online lottery will be conducted, and we will arrange according to the lottery results." ”
Chen Xiujie got up and asked, "I'll arrange it immediately, what other instructions do you two leaders have?" ”
Kong Zhenghao shook his head and said no.
Xu Haodong thought for a moment, "Xiujie, you clearly told the comrades three points. First, in addition to state secrets, they should be fully disclosed so that the participating citizens can have the experience of being truly in charge of their own affairs. Second, all departments should pay attention to summing up, because such activities are very meaningful and have the potential to become a system. Third, it is necessary to openly and resolutely emphasize that there is not a penny of budget expenditure for this activity, and anyone who violates it will be punished. ”
Chen Xiujie left in response.
Kong Zhenghao said: "Haodong, a deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, will bring a working group to our Yunling City in the near future to carry out a pilot reform of statistical accounting. ”
Xu Haodong nodded and said: "This is a good thing, the national economic data statistics in the past are easy to deceive the following, so there is a phenomenon of numbers out of officials and numbers out of political performance." And I have always advocated that the statistical authority of national economic data should be moved up one level, for example, our Yunling City, which should be directly responsible for the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, so as to reduce the amount of water in statistical data. ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "I couldn't agree more. Taking last year's GDP of our city as an example, the statistics reported by the streets of each township were 221.3 billion, while the statistics of our city were 210.9 billion, a difference of 10.4 billion, and the error rate was as high as 5 percent. If we follow our new statistical accounting method, this will not happen in the future, and the comrades below will no longer have to focus on GDP. ”
"However, GDP still can't be thrown away." Xu Haodong asked: "Because GDP is an important indicator after all. Zhenghao, September is coming to an end, have you ever predicted the economic situation this year? I'm asking about GDP and local general public revenues. ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "Let's talk about GDP first, after squeezing out the previous water, it was 159.3 billion yuan the year before last, and 210.9 billion yuan last year, an increase of 24.46 percent over the year before last year. According to our new statistical accounting method and the analysis of statistics and big data technology in the first eight months of this year, the city's GDP will reach 308.5 billion yuan this year, an increase of 46.27 percent over last year. ”
Xu Haodong frowned slightly, "Zhenghao, last year's growth rate was 24.46% compared with the previous year, and this year's growth rate was 46.27% compared with last year's, these two data, how can I think it is unreliable." Of course, I don't think it's okay if it's unreliable, the question is whether others believe it, these data have to be reported and made public, and it's not convincing to be good. ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "We have explained to the outside world the growth rate of last year compared with the previous year, mainly because there was too much water in the previous few years, and the 159.3 billion yuan in the previous year was the data after the water was drained. Last year's 210.9 billion yuan was calculated by our new statistical accounting method, which has been highly affirmed at home and abroad, so the data is convincing. ”
Xu Haodong snorted, "What about this year's 308.5 billion?" ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "We have already made some explanations at the briefing on the economic situation in our city, and there are two main reasons why this year's GDP has soared by 46.27 percent compared with last year. First, the Qingshan Mountain Area is under the jurisdiction of our city, and the GDP of the Qingshan District was 20.7 billion yuan last year, and it is expected to be 22.3 billion yuan this year, which gives us a growth rate of more than 10 percent. Second, it is driven by the investment in the four major projects and comprehensive pollution control, with a total investment of 60 billion yuan and an increase of 80 billion yuan in GDP throughout the year, which should also be a convincing figure. ”
Nodding, Xu Haodong asked, "So, what about our municipal revenue?" ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "Excluding land revenue, the general public finance revenue and expenditure is as follows: the year before last year, the revenue was 8.57 billion yuan and the expenditure was 8.32 billion yuan, and last year the revenue was 11.83 billion yuan and the expenditure was 11.115 billion yuan. This year, we have also fully estimated the situation and estimated that the income will be 16.79 billion yuan and the expenditure will be 15.84 billion yuan. ”
Xu Haodong asked: "What is the debt situation?" ”
Kong Zhenghao said: "When you took office in April last year, the city's debt was 3.56 billion yuan, of which 630 million yuan was temporarily suspended by the Provincial Department of Finance because of the corruption case of the downtown square project, which was still in the period of pursuit, so our net debt was 2.93 billion yuan. We have repaid our debts in three ways: first, last year's fiscal surplus of 680 million yuan; Second, the surplus of land fiscal revenue over the years was 950 million; Last year, the land fiscal revenue was 1.22 billion yuan. The above three items total 2.85 billion yuan, so we now have only 0.8 billion yuan in net debt, and this 0.8 billion yuan is actually a problem left by the city government to guarantee the bankrupt enterprises. All in all, we can declare to the outside world that the debt of our Yunling Municipal Government is zero. ”
Xu Haodong smiled, "Not owing debts is a reassurance for the city's economic development, and it also provides a solid foundation for us to tilt our fiscal expenditure more towards people's livelihood." ”
Kong Zhenghao also smiled, "Haodong, if my learning ability is not bad, I remember that in your economic theory, you advocate that the government should be moderately indebted. ”
"My comrade mayor." Xu Haodong smiled and asked: "We don't have to go into debt to live a good life, why do we have to go into debt?" The essence of government debt is to put tomorrow's money for today's use, that is, to use the money of future generations, why do we do this? ”
"That's just as well." Kong Zhenghao nodded and said: "Now, the government's debt problem is really a heavy burden on the road of reform and development. The last time I went to the province for a meeting, the leader of the provincial finance department said that the total debt of the four levels of government in the province from the province to the township had exceeded 1 trillion yuan, and he also said that the provincial government wanted to borrow money from our Yunling City, but I refused on the spot. ”
Xu Haodong hurriedly said: "Refuse well, refuse well, this opening can't be opened, there are two if there is one, there are two and three, if you agree to borrow money, there will be countless people who come to borrow money." ”
Kong Zhenghao said with a smile: "I pushed the matter to you anyway, I said that the matter of borrowing money, whether I, the mayor, said or not, it has to be decided by you and the Standing Committee." ”
Xu Haodong was happy, "Haha, you can shake the pot." ”
Kong Zhenghao reminded: "Haodong, I don't think the leaders of the Provincial Department of Finance are just talking casually, in case it is true, you have to be prepared." ”
Not to mention, unfortunately Kong Zheng said that the province really sent someone to borrow money from Yunling City.
