Key work

[expanding domestic demand]

Urbanization is the greatest potential

Li Keqiang pointed out that at present, we will make further efforts in many aspects, especially in the following key areas:

First, we need to expand domestic demand.

Expanding domestic demand is the strategic basis for China's economic and social development.

Especially in this year, the international market is still stagnant, and expanding domestic demand has more important practical significance for China.

China's expansion of domestic demand and urbanization are the greatest potential.

To expand domestic demand, we need to put the service sector in a more prominent position.

Expanding domestic demand is also better combined with improving people's livelihood.

The construction of affordable housing, the new round of health care reform, and the focus of tackling poverty alleviation together are not only a major livelihood project, but also a major development project, as well as a major measure to regulate income distribution, which is conducive to ensuring the basic livelihood of the masses.

We must carry out these major projects around ensuring the basic needs of the people, so as to improve the people's livelihood and become the basis for development so that the whole nation can share the fruits of development.

[innovation driven]

R & D cost is expected to reach 1 trillion this year.

Two is to strengthen innovation driven.

Innovation is the greatest vitality of economic and social development and the adjustment of economic structure.

We must persist in taking enterprises as the main body and taking market as the guidance, strengthen government guidance, strengthen investment in all aspects, comprehensively promote technological innovation, management innovation and product innovation, enhance the ability of economic independent growth and innovation drive, so as to achieve structural and industrial upgrading.

China's R & D expenditure is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan this year, which will strongly support inventions and technological innovations.

Innovation requires talents, and development requires high-quality workers.

We will strive to turn the characteristics of large population into human strength.

[reform and opening up]

Total imports will exceed US $1 trillion and 900 billion.

Three, we must rely on reform and opening up.

China's economic development has reached the critical stage of changing the mode of economic development.

The way of pformation lies in innovating institutional mechanisms.

Reform and opening up is the fundamental driving force for economic pformation and modernization drive. At present, China's reform has entered a critical stage. We will deepen reforms in finance, taxation, finance, prices, enterprises and income distribution system, strive to break through in key areas and key links, better play the fundamental role of the market in resource allocation, resolutely break down the institutional obstacles restricting economic and social development, and enhance the endogenous driving force for development.
