Shoulder the responsibility of the major province and promote the simultaneous improvement of economic quantity and quality
The government work report proposes to vigorously boost market confidence in 2023, highlight the work of stabilizing growth, employment, and prices, and achieve effective improvement in economic quality and reasonable growth in quantity.
The report places "solidly shouldering responsibilities and promoting the simultaneous improvement of economic quantity and quality" as the top priority for this year's ten key areas of work, and proposes to focus on unleashing the potential of effective demand and increasing efficiency in expanding domestic demand. The representatives and committee members believe that insufficient aggregate demand is a prominent contradiction facing the current economic operation. The report focuses on measures to expand effective demand, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of a major economic province, boosting confidence, and inspiring progress.
Prioritize the recovery and expansion of consumption
Consumption is the main engine driving economic growth. Affected by the epidemic, consumption growth is weak. In order to expand domestic demand and improve efficiency, priority should be given to restoring and expanding consumption.
"The registered population and permanent resident population of registered residence have exceeded 100 million, which has a huge market scale and huge consumption potential. To restore and expand consumption, we must give full play to these advantages." The representative of Sun Aijun, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, believes that the report proposes to implement the action of "Shandong Consumption Boost Year" and carry out the activity of "Rest assured consumption in Shandong", which is to fully tap and release the consumption demand and potential of residents suppressed by the epidemic.
In addition to improving consumption conditions and innovating consumption scenarios through various activities, the report also puts forward policy efforts to optimize and expand the use of consumer vouchers for automobiles, home appliances, cultural tourism, and other industries. The bulk consumption and contact service industries have been significantly affected by the epidemic, and it is necessary to introduce strong and targeted support policies, including optimizing the use of consumer vouchers, to fully promote the relief and recovery of these industries, "said Sun Aijun.
Last year, our province innovatively launched measures such as automobile and household appliance consumption vouchers, which have achieved significant results. Representative Ding Mingbo, Deputy General Manager of Weihai Jiajiayue Group Co., Ltd., has personally experienced this. The combination of consumption coupons and our own promotional measures has effectively boosted the flow of people in the mall, "Ding Mingbo said. He suggested adding some policies specifically targeting holidays when distributing consumption coupons this year to attract more people to consume during holidays.
People are more willing to consume when their wallets are full, "said Liu Dejun, director of the Strategic Planning Institute of the Provincial Macro Economic Research Institute." To restore and expand consumption, it is necessary to increase residents' income through multiple channels. He suggested that efforts should be made to enhance consumption capacity from two aspects: stabilizing employment and stabilizing expectations.
Representative Zhang Baoliang, Mayor of Linyi City, paid special attention to the content of the report on "deepening the 'Three Ten' Plan for e-commerce and creating a batch of e-commerce industry belts". Linyi has the Linyi Mall and the largest short video live streaming e-commerce base in the north, providing unique conditions for developing emerging consumption such as live streaming e-commerce. We will use the transformation and upgrading of Linyi Mall to amplify the scale of 'tens of millions of people, trillion level commercial logistics', create new consumer demands and formats, promote the convergence of key consumption warm current, cultural and tourism consumption drainage, mid to high end consumption return, and emerging consumption strong current, and strive to promote the rapid recovery of consumption, "said Zhang Baoliang.
The sound of shouting and the dazzling array of goods... Recently, people have felt a strong "fireworks atmosphere" at the "Yellow River Grand Gathering" in various parts of Shandong. "The report proposes to hold the" Great Gathering of the Yellow River "activity and build the cultural tourism consumption brand of the Yellow River, which is an important measure to protect, inherit and carry forward the culture of the Yellow River, and will also strongly promote consumption." Zhu Li, director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Tai'an City, said that she will seize the opportunity to comprehensively improve the popularity and reputation of the cultural tourism brand of "Mount Taishan, China, Guotai, Min'an", actively expand domestic and foreign tourist markets, build a unique "culture along the Yellow River" tourism route in multiple dimensions, further promote the integration and development of the Yellow River culture and tourism resources in Tai'an, and fully promote the recovery of cultural tourism consumption.
Expand effective investment through high-quality projects
Efforts should be made to enhance efficiency in expanding domestic demand, and the key role of investment should be played. The report has made specific arrangements from two aspects: vigorously promoting the construction of major industrial projects and vigorously deepening the "Seven Networks" action of infrastructure.
The report proposes to accelerate the construction of projects such as Wanhua New Materials Low Carbon Industrial Park and Haierkaos Ecological Demonstration Park. Representative Wang Dashan, Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Dezhou City, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Tianqu New Area, and Director of the Management Committee, noticed that these projects are all key projects in the field of green and low-carbon. Major projects are the solid support and strong guarantee for the construction of green, low-carbon, and high-quality development pilot zones. The report sends a strong signal that high-quality projects will help the construction of pilot zones start well. Wang Dashan said that among the 370 key projects implemented at or above the city level in Dezhou this year, green and low-carbon industry projects account for a large proportion. We will follow the principle of "elements follow the project" and make every effort to strengthen project construction to help the construction of pilot zones start well.
Infrastructure projects have a large investment volume and strong driving force. The report proposes to complete a transportation investment of 310 billion yuan this year, which has greatly inspired Chairman Zhou Yong of Shandong Expressway Group. Last year, our province made the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network the highlight of the 'Seven Networks' action. Seizing this opportunity, Shandong Expressway Group achieved three excesses of' investment, opening, and construction ', helping the province's expressway mileage to exceed 8000 kilometers. This year, we will continue to play a leading role in the construction of transportation infrastructure in the province. Zhou Yong said that we will start construction on 9 expressway projects including Jinan to Ningjin, accelerate the construction of 16 ongoing projects such as Dongying to Qingzhou expansion, and complete 3 projects including Jinan to Weifang section of the Jiqing Middle Line, turning the Jiqing Middle Line into a demonstration model of smart expressway and providing strong transportation support for high-quality development.
The construction of modern water networks is beneficial for the present and for future generations. The report proposes to accelerate the construction of national and provincial water network pilot zones. Last year, our province was approved to build a national and provincial-level water network pilot zone, which is the only national and provincial-level water network pilot zone in the Yellow River Basin, and also the national and provincial-level water network pilot zone with the most complex water situation and heavy water network construction tasks in the country. It has strong representativeness and demonstration, and building a national and provincial-level water network pilot zone is of great significance. "Wang Hao, a member of the second level researcher of the Construction Department of the Provincial Water Resources Department, introduced that our province will continue to promote the preliminary work of the second phase of the South to North Water Diversion Project, start the construction of key projects such as Taiping Reservoir, and quickly form the main skeleton and main artery of Shandong's modern water network, interconnect with the national backbone network and the city and county network, and form an integrated modern.
Seize opportunities to promote stable and high-quality foreign trade
Currently, the risk of global economic recession is increasing, and external demand growth continues to slow down. How Shandong can promote stable scale and optimal structure of foreign trade has been a question that member Li Changying, a professor at the School of Economics of Shandong University, has been pondering.
The report proposes to assist enterprises in going abroad to grab orders and expand markets, which is very targeted, "said Li Changying. With the optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures, personnel exchanges between domestic and foreign countries have become closer, which has had a significant positive impact on stabilizing the scale and optimizing the structure of foreign trade. He suggested that many places are actively organizing foreign trade enterprises to "go global", and Shandong should pay attention to leveraging its comparative advantages, focusing more on characteristic and advantageous products, continuously improving the quality of exported products, and optimizing its structure while expanding its market share.
The statement 'Make good use of RCEP opportunities' in the report has attracted the attention of Commissioner Liu Wei, the Director of Jinan Customs. He said that tariff reduction is the most important institutional opening-up achievement of RCEP in the field of goods trade. Last year, Shandong Customs and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade issued more than 150000 RCEP certificates of origin, ranking first in the country in terms of quantity. The export value of goods benefited was 41.23 billion yuan, and relevant enterprises could enjoy tariff reduction of more than 400 million yuan from other RCEP members, driving the rapid growth of foreign trade imports and exports in the province.
Continue to make good use of the opportunities of RCEP and enable more enterprises to better enjoy the benefits of RCEP policies. ”Liu Wei stated that Jinan Customs will continue to increase publicity and training efforts, formulate a "one enterprise, one policy" import and export preferential scheme, vigorously promote the approved exporter system and convenient measures such as self-service printing of certificates of origin, so that enterprises can enjoy benefits more efficiently and conveniently.
As a rapidly developing new form of foreign trade, cross-border e-commerce is an important force in stabilizing foreign trade. In November last year, the State Council approved the establishment of cross-border e-commerce pilot zones in 33 cities and regions. Seven cities including Heze in Shandong were selected, achieving full coverage of 16 cities in the cross-border e-commerce pilot zones. After the approval of the Heze Cross border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone, we immediately formulated support policies and improved implementation plans, achieving positive results in optimizing layout, building systems, building platforms, expanding channels, and attracting projects, which has helped Heze's foreign trade form new growth points and competitive advantages, "said Zhang Lun, the mayor of Heze City.
The report proposed to make good use of the cross-border e-commerce pilot zones in 16 cities, which greatly encouraged Zhang Lun. He stated that the next step will be to comprehensively build a system centered on "two platforms and six systems", guide counties and districts to actively build cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, further increase the attraction of cross-border e-commerce platforms and enterprises, and quickly form a cross-border e-commerce ecosystem that deeply integrates online and offline, injecting strong impetus into the stable scale and optimal structure of Heze's foreign trade.
