Introduce relevant information on policy measures for further expansion of consumption. Zhao Lidong, deputy inspector of the Comprehensive Development and Reform Commission of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in order to solve the problem of non-standard market environment, it is proposed to optimize the consumption environment, such as the issue of the outflow of consumer purchasing power, and the "Opinions on Further Expanding Consumption in the Field of Tourism, Culture, Sports, Health and Elder Education and Training" The scope of implementation of the same line, the same standard and homogenous project for domestic and foreign products will be expanded to the daily consumer goods enterprises, the same production line will be produced, the same standard management will be carried out, and the same quality products will be produced to rebuild the residents' confidence in domestic consumer goods. .
The following is a question and answer record:
Xinhua News Agency: What is the main point of new growth in consumption from the perspective of maintaining stable economic development?
Zhao Lidong: Since the beginning of this year, China's economy has maintained steady growth. Consumption in the troika has played an important role. The contribution rate in the first three quarters reached 71%, an increase of 13.3 percentage points year-on-year. From the next development trend, just now Director Cong has made a more detailed introduction. China has entered a critical period in which the consumption rate has risen and fallen, the demand structure has undergone a trend change, and consumption has played an increasingly important role in driving economic growth. Traditional consumption will upgrade and upgrade, emerging consumption will flourish and consumption potential will be huge. Mainly in the following aspects:
First, the potential for high-quality goods consumption is huge. Commodity consumption is undergoing a transition from good to good, residents have higher requirements for consumption quality, more safe and practical, more comfortable and beautiful, and the market potential of more tasteful products is huge. For example, in the first 10 months of this year, China's auto market SUV sales increased by 45.6% year-on-year, becoming an important force supporting automobile consumption.
Second, the high-quality service consumption potential is huge. The demand for tourism, culture, sports and other services has grown rapidly. For example, high-level sports events such as football and basketball are hard to find in some places. According to preliminary estimates, the scale of consumer markets such as aviation sports, water sports, and mountain outdoor will reach 900 billion yuan by 2020.
Third, the potential for rural consumption upgrading is huge. At present, the gap between urban and rural residents' consumption expenditure has reached 2.4 times, and the gap is potential. In recent years, infrastructure improvements such as rural broadband and urban-rural two-way circulation networks have improved. Farmers’ income growth has continued to be faster than that of urban residents. The growth rate of rural consumption has continued to be faster than that of urban areas. In the first 10 months, rural consumption has increased by 10.9%, exceeding towns. 0.7 percentage points.
Zhao Lidong: While looking at the potential of consumption growth, we also noticed that the current consumption growth faces a more prominent problem, that is, the supply of high-quality products and services is insufficient. The reason is that the institutional mechanism is not perfect and the policy system is imperfect. The market's soft and hard environment is not standardized, which affects the enthusiasm and initiative of social capital to increase the effective supply of consumption, resulting in the adjustment and upgrading of consumption supply lags behind the change in demand. To this end, the "Opinions" issued yesterday adhered to the supply-side structural reform as the main line, reforming and innovating to increase the effective supply of the consumer sector, especially in the service sector, and complementing the short-board to further expand domestic consumption.
In view of the problem of imperfect institutional mechanisms, it is proposed to eliminate the institutional and institutional barriers that restrict the consumption of pensions, education, sports, etc. For example, a large number of stadiums are currently not efficient due to the constraints of the management system. The next step is to promote the opening of sports facilities in schools, enterprises and institutions to the society, meet the basic sports consumption needs of ordinary people (44.430, 0.62, 1.42%), and also innovate management models, introduce social capital for commercial operations, and meet multi-level open utilization. .
In response to the imperfect policy system, the "Opinions" proposed to improve the consumer policy support system, such as the inclusion of air purifiers, washing machines, etc. into the energy efficiency leader program, and guide consumers to purchase energy-efficient leader products. For example, new technologies and new products such as smart homes and wearable devices are developing rapidly, but there is a lack of standardized standards. The Opinions propose to speed up the development of smart homes and standards for wearable devices and promote standard application demonstrations.
In response to the problem of non-standard market environment, it is proposed to optimize the consumption environment, for example, the problem of outflow of consumer purchasing power. The "Opinions" proposes to expand the scope of implementation of the same-line, same-standard and homogenous projects for domestic and foreign products to daily consumer goods enterprises. Production of the same production line, the same standard management, production of the same quality products, reshaping residents' confidence in domestic consumer goods.
In short, through deepening reform, institutional innovation, and multiple measures, we will stimulate social capital to increase the enthusiasm and initiative of effective supply of products and services.
