The main objectives and tasks of economic development for the year were successfully completed. The GDP exceeded 82 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.9%. Important progress has been made in supply-side structural reforms, the conversion of old and new kinetic energy has been accelerated, and the quality and efficiency of economic development have been continuously improved.

　　 Yan Pengcheng answered reporters' questions on whether the growth rate of China's economic operation in 2017 was higher than expected, whether it means that my country's economy has bottomed out and entered a new growth cycle.

Yan Pengcheng said that in 2017, the operating growth rate of China's economy was 6.9%. To evaluate this indicator, we must not only see a rebound in growth rate and two-way fluctuations, but the most important thing is to see that the quality, efficiency and structure behind the growth rate are relative It has been significantly improved and improved than before. Specifically, positive changes in four areas contributed to the high gold content of 6.9% in 2017.

　　 First, the effects of structural adjustments are continuing to appear. Over the past few years, my country has adhered to the main line of advancing supply-side structural reforms, focusing on the revitalization of the real economy, focusing on the key tasks of “three eliminations, one reduction and one supplement”, to withstand the pain of structural transformation, unswervingly resolve excess production capacity, and effectively promote Market clearing, supply-demand relationship improvement and supply structure optimization. In 2017, the nationally regulated industrial added value increased by 6.6%, realizing the first increase in growth rate since 2011, and the industrial capacity utilization rate was 77%, a 5-year high. At the same time, my country is following the general trend of consumption upgrading and vigorously developing happiness industry service consumption, information consumption, green consumption, etc. The demand structure has improved significantly. Consumption contributed 58.8% to economic growth in 2017, which is nearly an increase from 5 years ago. 10 percentage points.

　　Second, the conversion of new and old kinetic energy is continuing to accelerate. In the past five years, my country has vigorously implemented the innovation-driven development strategy. The national R&D expenditure has increased by more than 11% annually, and the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has increased from 52.2% to 57.5%. Traditional industries are accelerating their transformation, and equipment manufacturing and high-tech industries have maintained high growth, with 11.3% and 13.4% respectively in 2017. Emerging industries are developing vigorously. The integration of "Internet +" and the real economy is accelerating. The sharing economy, online shopping, mobile payment, genetic testing and other new business formats are at the forefront of the world. Some regions have taken the lead in making breakthroughs in transformation and upgrading and the cultivation of new kinetic energy, and are steadily coming out of the painful period of structural adjustment, providing a demonstration and guidance for high-quality economic development. According to estimates by relevant agencies, the contribution rate of new kinetic energy to economic growth exceeds 30%.

　　 Third, the vitality of market entities is continuously being released. Focus on building an effective market and a promising government, vigorously deepen the reform of the market economy system, focus on transforming government functions, continuously optimize the business environment, comprehensively strengthen the protection of property rights, promote outstanding entrepreneurship, and improve a fair and competitive market environment. Over the past five years, the administrative approval items of the State Council have been reduced by 44%, the central government investment approval items have been reduced by 90%, and the central government pricing items have been reduced by 80%. At the same time, we continue to promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation. In 2017, the average daily registered enterprises nationwide reached 16,600, and the activity remained at 70%. The endogenous driving force for economic and social development continued to increase.

　　Fourth, the macro-control is being continuously improved. Over the past five years, we have always maintained strategic determination, insisted on not engaging in "strong stimulus" of flood irrigation, innovated and improved macro-control, strengthened targeted control, camera control, and precise control on the basis of interval control, and strengthened finance, currency, consumption, and investment , Industry, region and other macro policies. Pay more attention to the role of anticipation management in macro-control, continuously improve policy transparency, and promptly resolve hidden risks in economic operations, which has better stabilized social expectations, strengthened market confidence, and ensured the smooth operation of the economy.

Yan Pengcheng also pointed out that in addition, my country has also taken the initiative to seize the external opportunities of the slow recovery of the world economy. Imports and exports have turned from negative growth in the previous two years to double-digit growth in 2017, which has also contributed to China’s economic stability to a certain extent. Better than expected. Looking ahead, in 2018, China's economy will continue its steady and positive momentum with conditions and confidence. Of course, we should also be soberly aware that the current international environment is still complicated, and some outstanding problems of unbalanced and insufficient domestic development have yet to be resolved. There is still a long way to go to improve the quality and efficiency of the macro economy, and continue to develop.
