Economic Observation Network According to CCTV News App, the State Council Information Office held a press conference today, and the spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics stated that based on the economic performance in the past two months, the national economy is expected to continue to maintain a stable and progressive development trend in the next stage, and continue to move towards new and better directions.

The economic operation has started strongly.In January and February of this year, China's production demand remained stable with a slight increase, and major economic indicators significantly accelerated. Positive factors accumulated and strengthened, laying a good foundation for the positive development of the economy.

The expansion of demand has a strong driving force.From the perspective of external demand, China will adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results, expand economic and trade exchanges with countries around the world, jointly build the "the Belt and Road" with high quality, and actively promote digital trade and green trade, which will expand new space for foreign trade development. From the perspective of domestic demand, in the first year of the 15th Five Year Plan, efforts will be made to increase the construction of new infrastructure and livelihood infrastructure in all aspects, strengthen project, factor, and fund guarantees, which will be conducive to driving investment growth. At the same time, this year we will formulate and implement plans to increase residents' income in urban and rural areas, promote the expansion and upgrading of commodity consumption, and implement actions to improve the quality and benefit of service consumption, all of which are conducive to enhancing residents' consumption ability and willingness.

The support for industrial upgrading is strong.The role of innovation driven leadership has been enhanced, emerging industries have grown and strengthened, and their support for production has been strengthened. The rapid expansion of new technologies such as artificial intelligence has increasingly played a role in the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the development of emerging industries. The vigorous development of green industries has injected new impetus into industrial upgrading.

Macro policies provide strong support.The Central Economic Work Conference and the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have made comprehensive arrangements for this year's economic work, and fiscal policies have become more proactive. The expenditure scale will reach 30 trillion yuan for the first time.

A spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics stated that from the implementation of policies, the effects of the "dual" construction and "two new" work on expanding domestic demand and boosting confidence have gradually emerged since the beginning of this year. Taking into account these factors, China's economy is expected to maintain a steady and progressive development trend in the next stage, laying a solid foundation for achieving the expected goals and tasks for the whole year.
