In the international environment and domestic economic operation, some new situations, new problems and new contradictions have emerged. This has increased the complexity of the situation and the arduous nature of regulation and control. We should continue to regard the overall level of stabilizing prices as the primary task of macroeconomic regulation and control in the next half year.
