2021 is the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and the beginning of the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The development trend of China’s economy has attracted much attention.

The main economic data of the first three quarters of China have been released recently. Facing the complicated and severe domestic and foreign environment, the Chinese economy has maintained a recovery trend and the main macro indicators are in a reasonable range. On the basis of overall “stability”, continue to “advance” towards high-quality development, laying a solid foundation for achieving the annual economic and social development goals.

But at the same time, economic growth has fallen, commodity prices have risen, and power rationing in many places across the country… The global epidemic and economic trends have become more complex, and some new situations Intertwined with old problems, the risk challenge remains unabated.

Observing the Chinese economy, we must look at it from a comprehensive dialectical and long-term perspective, so that we can recognize the general trend in short-term fluctuations, explore deep-seated power in the face of pressure and challenge, and in the bright spot resilience Boost confidence and gather great strength to unswervingly promote high-quality development.

Xinhua News Agency reporters recently sorted out the top ten social concerns and hot issues at home and abroad, and interviewed authoritative departments and people to respond.

(1) How to view the current economic trend and where is China’s economic stamina?

Compared with the first three quarters of this year, China’s economy grew by 9.8% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 5.2%. In the third quarter, the year-on-year growth rate dropped to 4.9%. How to look?

The 9.8% growth rate in the first three quarters is far higher than the annual growth target of “over 6%” set at the beginning of the year, and also higher than the global average growth rate and major economies The growth rate is hard-won and rare. It should be said that China’s economy still maintains the momentum of continuous recovery since the second half of last year.

However, compared to the 18.3% economic growth in the first quarter of this year and 7.9% in the second quarter, the growth rate in the third quarter “breaking 5” has attracted considerable attention and even caused some concerns sound.

What is the reason for the slowdown in quarterly growth?

Cardinal effect is a big factor. -6.8%, 3.2%, 4.9%, 6.5%. The upward line drawn by the Chinese economy in the four quarters of last year indicates that China’s economic trend this year is inevitableIt will be “high in the front and low in the back”, and the slope is relatively steep.

Short-term factors also bring certain impact. Since the second half of the year, the domestic epidemic has spread in many places. Henan and Shanxi have suffered heavy rains and floods. Coupled with multiple factors such as the slowdown of global economic growth and high prices of bulk raw materials, the road to economic recovery has encountered difficulties.

With abundant control tools, the economy must grow faster than ever. In the face of economic downturn challenges, the central government maintains its strategic strength and resolutely does not engage in it. Flooding with floods”, taking measures such as continuing to promote green and low-carbon development, reducing dependence on real estate and debt, and releasing the policy signal of not taking the old path of extensive growth and firmly moving towards high-quality development.

“The slowdown in growth in the third quarter is a good thing for China’s economy in the long run.” Adjustment, economic growth will be faster, but the Chinese economy may not be on the right track.

Observe the economic situation, not only in the short-term, but also in the long-term, and the overall situation.

Under the challenge of multiple risks, the “stability” characteristics of China’s economy are still clear, and the bright spots are outstanding.

The four macroeconomic indicators of “economic growth, employment, prices, and balance of payments” show that the “basic market” of China’s economy is still stable——

The economy was still operating within a reasonable range in the first three quarters; 10.45 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country, achieving 95% of the annual target; national consumer prices rose by 0.6% year-on-year, and the overall price level remained stable; Imports and exports and the use of foreign capital have maintained high growth, and foreign exchange reserves have remained above US$3.2 trillion for five consecutive months.

The production situation is stable and improving, and the innovation momentum continues to increase——

The increase in autumn grain production is a foregone conclusion. Annual grain output is expected to hit a record high; in the first three quarters, the two-year average growth of production and investment in high-tech manufacturing was both double-digit; the output of new energy vehicles, industrial robots, and integrated circuits increased by 172.5%, 57.8%, and 57.8% respectively. 43.1%……

Corporate profits are growing steadily, and economic benefits are constantly improving——

In the first 8 months, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 49.5% year-on-year and 42.9% year-on-year; in the first three quarters, the recovery growth of fiscal revenue was generally stable, and the national general public budget revenue increased year-on-year 16.3%; after deducting the impact of price factors, the national per capita disposable income has actually increased by 9.7%, which is basically in line with GDP growth…

Under multiple tests, we must strengthen our confidence in development and steadily It is even more important to stay awake during the recovery.

On the one hand, we must see that under the more complicated domestic and international situation, economic growth in the fourth quarter and early next year will still face many risks and challenges. Among the four major macroeconomic indicators, the structural contradictions in employment are prominent, and the “scissors gap” between CPI and PPI has widened; in the “troika”, there are still many factors restricting investment and consumer demand……

On the other hand, we must firmly believe that although China’s economy is facing more complex phased, structural and cyclical issues, we have the means and the ability to stabilize the momentum of continuous recovery, maintain strategic determination, and constantly Strengthen the endogenous power of the economy.

Facing pressure, confidence is more precious than gold.

China has strong resilience This resilience comes from the competitiveness of nearly 150 million market players, the integrity of the economic system, the ultra-large domestic market and the unremitting pursuit of a better life by hundreds of millions of people through hard work.
