Price Reform Should Make The Market Pricing Government Only Play The Role Of "Backing The Bottom".

Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting to speed up the price reform. He pointed out that the key problem of market reform is not to grasp the price reform. This is a hard nut to crack reform. It is a tough battle.

Since the 80s of last century, price reform has been discussed. Although some specific problems have emerged in the reform process, some social contradictions have been triggered, but in general, the role of economic and social development should be affirmed. These reforms are conducive to economic development and the improvement of people's living standards.

along with Market economy system The continuous improvement, especially in the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, proposed that the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources, and the price issue has increasingly become the main problem that restricts economic and social development, especially market-oriented reform. If price reform does not take the lead, other aspects of reform will be difficult to push forward, or even stop at the starting line.

But the price reform is different from the general reform. The price involves every aspect, all fields and all levels of the society, especially the vast number of enterprises and residents. Both the government and relevant functional departments, as well as experts and scholars, have all sorts of concerns and concerns about price reform. If the price of medical services is too high and the price of services is not marketization, if the market is determined, will the price of drugs rebound sharply? How will the government play the role of price stabilizer? It is also a matter of great concern to all sectors of society.

From these years reform From experience and lesson, price reform is not as difficult as imagined, and no serious social problems will arise. The reason is that the government has too many interests in the process of price reform. It always hopes to maximize the government's interests through reform.

The question is whether the interest that the government can occupy by price can be ignored in the process of reform and no longer attached to the price of various products, which will have a great impact on the reform of the whole price. Since the reform and opening up to the present, many products have been implemented by the planned system and the government's pricing. However, in the light of the market price liberalization, they have been integrated with the market for a long time. 20 years ago, the government still needed to control it through certain means. Now, after the formation of the big circulation pattern, there is no such need at all. The government is in circulation. charge It has increased the difficulty of marketization of grain and vegetables and set up many obstacles. Once the government's behavior is standardized, the fees are reduced and the cost of circulation is reduced, and the prices of these products naturally drop.

In particular, it is necessary to grasp that at present, it is the best time for price reform. Whether PPI or CPI, they are at a low level. If they are well handled, they will not have much impact on the production and life of enterprises and residents. At the same time, the residents' psychological acceptance of prices is easier to control. If we can make the best of the situation, we should introduce various price reform measures as soon as possible, especially the prices of public utility products, which can be liberalized according to the requirements of the market and let the market price. If the government does not fight the price reform, it may produce unexpected results. Even if there is a certain price increase, it will also be within the psychological expectation of enterprises and residents.

When the price is set free and the market is priced, the government does not mean to sit idly by. In the process of price reform, the government should take effective measures to provide some "individualized" problems when it does not involve its own interests. For example, price subsidies for low-income people, possible price fluctuations, and malicious price speculation should be the functions of the government.
