After the outbreak of Xinguan pneumonia, the CPC Central Committee made the prevention and control of the epidemic a top priority. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and deployed, and insisted on putting people's lives and health first. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the central leading group for dealing with the epidemic situation studied and deployed in a timely manner, the central guidance group strengthened guidance and supervision, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council was coordinated, all localities and departments performed their duties dutifully, and all sectors of society fully supported them. People's war, overall war, and resistance war for epidemic prevention and control were carried out. The vast number of medical personnel fought bravely, officers and men of the people's Liberation Army courageously shouldered heavy burdens, scientific and technological workers worked together to tackle key problems, community workers, public security cadres, grass-roots cadres, journalists and volunteers stuck to their posts, express delivery, sanitation, and anti-epidemic materials production and transportation personnel spared no pains, hundreds of millions of ordinary workers made silent contributions, the people of Wuhan and Hubei were indomitable, and people from all walks of life, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese made donations and donations. The sons and daughters of China are in the same boat through ups and downs, watching and helping each other, building a towering Great Wall to fight the epidemic.

In the prevention and control of the epidemic, we pay close attention to all kinds of work in accordance with the general requirements of strengthening confidence, helping each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policies. Take emergency measures in time, implement Class A infectious disease management for Xinguan pneumonia, and initiate first-level response to major public health emergencies. We have resolutely won the defense wars in Wuhan and Hubei and achieved decisive results. We have resolutely implemented strict control measures, supported them with the strength of the whole country, dispatched more than 40,000 medical and health care personnel, rapidly expanded treatment beds, gave priority to ensuring medical materials, continuously optimized diagnosis and treatment plans, persisted in the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and made all-out efforts to treat patients, so as to maximize the cure rate and reduce the case rate. Extend the national Spring Festival holiday, postpone the start of school, resume work flexibly, travel off peak, adhere to group prevention and control, adhere to the "four early", resolutely control the source of infection, and effectively curb the spread of the epidemic. Strengthen the research and development of drugs, vaccines and testing reagents. We will rapidly expand the production of medical materials, increase by a large margin in a short period of time, ensure the stable price of daily necessities, and ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines and the supply of coal, electricity, oil and gas. In response to changes in the epidemic, timely promote normal prevention and control.

Actively carry out international cooperation, communicate epidemic information in a timely manner in an open, transparent and responsible manner, take the initiative to share epidemic prevention techniques and practices, and help each other and fight the epidemic together.

For a developing country with a population of 1.4 billion, it is very difficult and difficult to effectively control the epidemic in a relatively short period of time and ensure the basic livelihood of the people. We have also paid a huge price, with negative economic growth in the first quarter and an impact on the order of production and life, but life is paramount, and this is a price that must be borne and worth paying.

Delegates!

The achievements in economic and social development since last year and in the prevention and control of the epidemic this year are the result of the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and the result of Xi Jinping's ideological and scientific guidance on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. it is the result of the United struggle of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. On behalf of the State Council, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, to all democratic parties, people's organizations and people from all walks of life. I would like to express my sincere thanks to our compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative region, the Macao Special Administrative region, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the governments, international organizations and friends of all countries who care about supporting China's modernization drive and fighting the epidemic.

While affirming the achievements, we are also soberly aware of the difficulties and problems we are facing. Under the impact of the global epidemic, the world economy is in serious recession, the supply chain cycle of the industrial chain is blocked, international trade and investment is shrinking, and commodity markets are volatile. Domestic consumption, investment and exports have declined, the pressure on employment has increased significantly, the difficulties of enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, have been highlighted, risks have accumulated in finance and other areas, and the contradiction between revenue and expenditure at the grass-roots level has intensified. There are deficiencies in government work, formalism and bureaucracy are still prominent, and a small number of cadres do not act and will not act. Corruption is common in some areas. In the prevention and control of epidemic situation, many weak links have been exposed in public health emergency management, and some opinions and suggestions should be paid attention to. We must strive to improve our work, earnestly perform our duties and try our best to live up to the expectations of the people.

II. The main objectives of this year's development and the overall deployment of the next phase of work.

To do a good job in the work of the government this year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, we should fully implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the second, third and fourth Plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, resolutely implement the party's basic theory, basic line and basic strategy, enhance the "four consciousness", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and achieve the "two maintenance." We should pay close attention to the goal and task of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, make overall efforts to promote epidemic prevention and control, and promote economic and social development. Under the premise of normalizing epidemic prevention and control, we should adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress in the midst of stability, adhere to the new concept of development, take supply-side structural reform as the main line, persist in taking reform and opening up as the driving force to promote high-quality development, resolutely do a good job in the three major battles, and intensify the work of "six stability." We will ensure the employment of residents, the basic livelihood of the people, the main body of the market, food and energy security, the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain, the operation of the grass-roots level, firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, and safeguard the overall situation of economic development and social stability. we will ensure that we will achieve the goal of getting rid of poverty in a decisive battle and build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

At present and for some time to come, China's development is facing unprecedented risks and challenges, but we have unique political and institutional advantages, strong economic foundation, huge market potential, and the diligence and wisdom of hundreds of millions of people. As long as we face the challenges directly, strengthen our confidence in development, strengthen the driving force for development, and safeguard and make good use of the important strategic opportunities for China's development, we will certainly be able to overcome the current difficulties, and China's development will be full of hope.

Based on a comprehensive study of the situation, we have made appropriate adjustments to the expected goals considered before the epidemic. This year, we will give priority to stable employment and ensure people's livelihood, resolutely win the battle against poverty, and strive to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. More than 9 million new urban jobs have been created, the surveyed unemployment rate in cities and towns is about 6%, and the registered unemployment rate in cities and towns is about 5.5%. Consumer prices rose by about 3.5 per cent; imports and exports promoted stability and quality, and the balance of payments was basically balanced; and the growth of residents' income basically kept pace with economic growth. Under the current standards, all poverty-stricken people in rural areas have been lifted out of poverty, all poverty-stricken counties have taken off their caps, major financial risks have been effectively prevented and controlled, energy consumption per unit of GDP and emissions of major pollutants have continued to decline, and efforts have been made to achieve the targets and tasks of the 13th

It should be noted that we did not put forward a specific target for economic growth for the whole year, mainly because of the great uncertainty of the global epidemic and economic and trade situation, and China's development is faced with some unpredictable factors. This will help guide all parties to concentrate on doing a good job of "six stability" and "six guarantees." The "six guarantees" is the focus of this year's "six stability" work. By keeping the bottom line of the "six guarantees", we can stabilize the basic economic market, promote stability and strive for progress in stability, and lay a solid foundation for building a well-off society in an all-round way. It should be noted that whether it is protecting employment and people's livelihood, achieving the goal of getting rid of poverty, or preventing and defusing risks, it is necessary to have the support of economic growth, and stable economic operation has a bearing on the overall situation. It is necessary to use the methods of reform and opening up to stabilize employment, protect people's livelihood, promote consumption, stimulate the market, stabilize growth, and find a new way to effectively deal with shocks and achieve a virtuous circle.

A proactive fiscal policy should be more active and promising. This year, the deficit ratio is planned to be more than 3.6%, the fiscal deficit will be increased by 1 trillion yuan over last year, and 1 trillion yuan of special treasury bonds will be issued to fight the epidemic. This is a special measure in a special period. All the above 2 trillion yuan will be transferred to local governments, and special transfer payment mechanisms will be established. The funds will directly go to the grass-roots level in cities and counties, directly benefit enterprises and benefit the people, and will mainly be used to protect jobs, basic people's livelihood and the main body of the market. including supporting tax and fee reduction, rent and interest reduction, expanding consumption and investment, strengthening the attribute of public finance, and never allowing interception and misappropriation. It is necessary to vigorously optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, increase but not decrease basic expenditure on people's livelihood, earnestly guarantee expenditure in key areas, resolutely reduce general expenditure, strictly prohibit new buildings and halls, and strictly prohibit extravagance and waste. Governments at all levels must be really tight, and the central government should take the lead in arranging negative growth in central-level expenditure, of which non-rigid expenditure should be reduced by more than 50%. All kinds of balances and precipitated funds should be collected and rescheduled. It is necessary to vigorously improve quality and increase efficiency, every expenditure must be carefully calculated, every sum of money must be spent on the cutting edge and critical parts, and the main body of the market and the masses of the people must have real feelings.

A prudent monetary policy should be more flexible and moderate. Comprehensive use of cut reserve requirements, interest rates, re-lending and other means to guide the broad money supply and social financing scale growth is significantly higher than last year. Keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level. Innovative monetary policy tools that go directly to the real economy must facilitate corporate access to loans and keep interest rates down.

The policy of giving priority to employment should be comprehensively strengthened. Fiscal, monetary and investment policies should work together to support stable employment. We will strive to stabilize existing employment, actively increase new employment, and promote the re-employment of the unemployed. All localities should clean up and abolish unreasonable restrictions on employment, take measures to promote employment, and make full use of measures to expand jobs. Poverty alleviation is a hard task that must be accomplished in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. we must adhere to the current poverty alleviation standards, strengthen the implementation of poverty alleviation measures, ensure that all remaining poor people are lifted out of poverty, improve and implement the monitoring and assistance mechanism for those returning to poverty, and consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. It is necessary to do a good job in the defense of blue sky, clear water and pure land, and achieve the phased goals of the battle for pollution prevention and control. We will strengthen the prevention and control of major risks and resolutely defend the bottom line of systemic risks.

Nearly five months have passed this year, and in the next stage, we should not relax the prevention and control of the regular epidemic, and pay close attention to doing a good job in all aspects of economic and social development. The policies introduced are both strong and sustainable, and can be improved according to changes in the situation, and we have the determination and ability to achieve the annual goals and tasks.

Third, strengthen the implementation of macro policies and strive to stabilize enterprises and ensure employment

To ensure employment and people's livelihood, we must stabilize hundreds of millions of market players and try our best to help enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, tide over the difficulties.

We will increase efforts to reduce taxes and fees. Strengthen phased policies, combined with institutional arrangements, release water for fish culture, and help the main body of the market to bail out and develop. This year, we will continue to reduce the rate of value-added tax and the rate of enterprise old-age insurance, and reduce taxes and fees by about 500 billion yuan. The policy of tax reduction and fee reduction due before June was introduced, including exemption from pension, unemployment and industrial injury insurance units of small and medium-sized enterprises, reduction of value-added tax for small-scale taxpayers, exemption of value-added tax for public transport, catering and accommodation, tourism and entertainment, culture and sports, and reduction of civil aviation development funds and port construction fees, all of which were extended until the end of this year. The payment of income tax for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households will be postponed until next year. It is expected to reduce the burden on enterprises by more than 2.5 trillion yuan for the whole year. We must firmly put the policy of reducing taxes and fees to enterprises, stay in Qingshan and win the future.

We will promote the reduction of production and operating costs of enterprises. The policy of reducing industrial and commercial electricity prices by 5% will be extended until the end of this year. The average tariff for broadband and dedicated lines will be reduced by 15%. Reduce or reduce the rent of state-owned property, encourage all kinds of landlords to reduce or postpone the collection of rent, and give policy support. We will resolutely crack down on illegal charges related to enterprises.

Strengthen financial support for stable enterprises. The policy of delaying principal and interest payments on loans for small and medium-sized enterprises will be extended to the end of March next year. Loans for inclusive small and micro enterprises should be extended as much as possible, and loans for other enterprises in difficulty should be extended through negotiation. Encourage banks to substantially increase credit loans for small and micro enterprises, first loans, and loan renewal without principal repayment. Greatly expand the coverage of government financing guarantees and significantly reduce rates. The loan growth rate of inclusive small and micro enterprises of large commercial banks is higher than 40%. Support enterprises to expand bond financing. Strengthen supervision to prevent funds from "idling" arbitrage. Financial institutions and loan enterprises are symbiotic and prosperous, and banks are encouraged to make reasonable profits. In order to protect the main body of the market, the loan availability of small and medium-sized enterprises must be significantly improved, and the comprehensive financing cost must be significantly reduced.

Do everything possible to stabilize and expand employment. We will strengthen employment support for key industries and key groups. This year, the number of college graduates has reached 8.74 million. In order to promote market-oriented and socialized employment, universities and territorial governments should provide continuous employment services. We will do a good job in ensuring the employment of ex-servicemen. We will implement the policy of equal access to employment services for migrant workers in their places of employment. Help disabled people, families with zero employment and other difficult groups to obtain employment. There are hundreds of millions of flexible employees in China, including odd workers. This year, the policy of voluntary postponement of social security premiums has been implemented for low-income workers, and administrative fees related to employment have all been abolished. Subsidized to train and stabilize posts, more than 35 million people have been trained in vocational skills this year and next year, and higher vocational colleges have expanded their enrollment by 2 million people, so that more workers can acquire skills and obtain good employment.

Fourth, rely on reform to stimulate the vitality of the main body of the market and strengthen the new momentum of development.

The greater the difficulties and challenges, the more necessary to deepen reform, remove institutional obstacles and stimulate endogenous development.
