National Development and Reform Commission: At the beginning of the year, a number of indicators improved, and the economy showed a trend of stabilization and improvement

The National Development and Reform Commission held a macroeconomic operation press conference on the 15th, and Zhao Chenxin, spokesman for the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in January 2017, a number of economic indicators such as power generation and investment showed a positive trend. Seven positive factors, including the continuous optimization of the economic structure and the vigorous promotion of supply-side reform, have ensured the development trend of steady progress and steady improvement of the economy.

According to reports, the power generation has increased rapidly compared with last year's Spring Festival. According to the dispatch express, the average daily power generation capacity of the country during the festival was 11.914 billion kilowatt hours, an increase of 14.93% over the Spring Festival period of the previous year. Among them, the lower daily power generation was 11.338 billion kWh, an increase of 13.56% over the lower value of the Spring Festival last year. At the same time, in January this year, the National Development and Reform Commission approved a total of 18 fixed asset investment projects, with a total investment of 153.9 billion yuan, mainly concentrated in water conservancy, transportation, energy and other fields. By the end of 2016, 12 major national project packages had completed a total investment of nearly 8 trillion yuan, and 48 special projects and 507 projects had been started.

Zhao Chenxin said that according to a report released by the International Monetary Fund, China's economic growth rate in 2016 ranked *5656 among the world's major economies. In the past year, a total of seven major factors have boosted China's steady economic development.

First of all, the economic structure has been continuously optimized. In 2016, the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 64.6%, the development momentum of strategic emerging industries and high-tech manufacturing industry was good, and the added value of high-tech industries increased by 10.8%, 4.8 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size. The leading role of the service industry has been strengthened, and the added value of the tertiary industry accounted for 51.6% of GDP, an increase of 1.4 percentage points over the previous year.

Second, supply-side structural reform has been vigorously and orderly promoted. The annual tasks of steel and coal capacity reduction have been overfulfilled, the inventory level of commercial housing has continued to decline, market-oriented debt-to-equity swaps and enterprise mergers and acquisitions have been carried out in an orderly manner, the cost of the real economy has decreased, and positive results have been achieved in making up for shortcomings in key areas.

The third is to further stimulate the vitality of market players. The number of enterprise investment projects approved by the central government has been reduced by 90 percent, and the proportion of market-generated prices for goods and services has exceeded 97 percent. We have deepened the reform of the commercial system, implemented the "five certificates in one" and "one license and one code", carried out the reform pilot of the separation of licenses and licenses, and comprehensively promoted the supervision of "double randomness and one disclosure", which stimulated the vitality of micro entities and optimized the market business environment.

Fourth, mass entrepreneurship and innovation are booming. The construction of the first batch of 28 entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship demonstration bases, with an average of 15,000 new enterprises established every day, an increase of 3,000 over 2015, and the activity rate has always remained at about 70%.

Fifth, new breakthroughs have been made in reform and opening up. Reforms in key areas such as state-owned enterprises, investment and financing, and prices have been actively promoted, and reform measures such as the reform of the salt industry system, the reform of state-owned forest farms and forest areas, the reform of new urbanization, the reform of the ecological civilization system, and the public service system of social undertakings have been introduced one after another. A number of international production capacity cooperation and major landmark projects have been implemented.

Sixth, the superposition effect of the three major strategies and the four major plates is obvious. All regions have taken the initiative to integrate into the "Belt and Road" construction strategy, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has been promoted in an orderly manner, and the pace of development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has accelerated. The layout of the axis belt dominated by the economic belt along the coastal river tends to be improved, and the reform and innovation demonstration effects such as the pilot free trade zone, the *5652 new area, the comprehensive supporting reform pilot zone, and the national independent innovation demonstration zone have been continuously released, and new growth points and growth poles have been accelerated.

* New progress has been made in people's livelihood security and social undertakings. More than 10 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, 2.49 million people have been relocated for poverty alleviation and relocation, and 6 million shantytowns have been renovated, the coverage of social security and assistance has been further expanded, and the development of various social undertakings has been accelerated.

Zhao Chenxin said that the above factors have boosted the development trend of China's economy in 2016, which has stabilized and stabilized in 2016, and has achieved quality and efficiency in development.

In this regard, some users said that in the future, with the continuous implementation of the supply-side reform in 2017, these positive factors will have a greater role in promoting, continuing to promote the structural optimization and transformation and upgrading of economic development, and ensuring the steady growth of the overall economy.
