This year we will focus on eight aspects of work.
(1) Stabilize and improve macroeconomic policies and keep the economy operating within a reasonable range. We also have innovative means and policy reserves for macroeconomic control. We must not only be based on the current situation and take targeted measures to withstand the downward pressure on the economy, but we must also take a long-term view, have backup options, and plan for momentum. Continue to implement proactive fiscal policies and prudent monetary policies, innovate macro-control methods, strengthen interval regulation, directional regulation, and discretionary regulation, coordinate the use of fiscal and monetary policies and industry, investment, price and other policy tools, and adopt structural reforms, especially supply We will implement structural reform measures to create a good environment for economic development.
Active fiscal policy must be stepped up. This year’s planned fiscal deficit is 2.18 trillion yuan, an increase of 560 billion yuan over last year, and the deficit rate has increased to 3%. Among them, the central fiscal deficit is 1.4 trillion yuan and the local fiscal deficit is 780 billion yuan. Arrange 400 billion yuan in local special bonds and continue to issue local government replacement bonds. Our country's fiscal deficit ratio and government debt ratio are relatively low among the world's major economies. Such an arrangement is necessary, feasible, and safe.
Moderately expand the fiscal deficit, mainly to reduce taxes and fees, and further reduce the burden on enterprises. Three initiatives will be taken this year. The first is to fully implement the business tax to value-added tax reform. From May 1, the scope of the pilot will be expanded to the construction industry, real estate industry, finance industry, and life service industry, and the value-added tax included in the new real estate of all enterprises will be included in the scope of deduction, ensuring The tax burden of all industries will only decrease but not increase.

The third is to expand the exemption scope of 18 administrative fees from small and micro enterprises to all enterprises and individuals. Implementing the above policies will reduce the burden on enterprises and individuals by more than 500 billion yuan this year compared with before the reform. At the same time, necessary fiscal expenditures and government investments should be appropriately increased to increase support for weak links such as people's livelihood. We should innovate the way of fiscal expenditure and optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure. We must maintain what should be protected and reduce what should be reduced.

Prudent monetary policy must be flexible and appropriate. This year, broad money m2 is expected to grow by about 13%, and the balance of social financing scale will increase by about 13%. It is necessary to coordinate the use of various monetary policy tools such as open market operations, interest rates, reserve ratios, and re-lending to maintain reasonable and sufficient liquidity, unblock the transmission mechanism, reduce financing costs, and strengthen support for the real economy, especially small and micro enterprises, "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" Wait for support.

We will deepen the reform of the household registration system, relax the conditions for urban settlement, and establish and improve the policy of linking people, land, and money. Expand the scope of comprehensive pilot projects for new urbanization. Residence certificates have a high value, and it is necessary to speed up their coverage of urban permanent residents who have not yet settled down, so that they can enjoy basic public services such as compulsory education, employment, and medical care in the place of residence in accordance with the law.
