Li Qiang: Focus on stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations;做好 policy pre-research and reserve.

Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over the 10th plenary session of the State Council on February 6, during which the government work report draft and the draft outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan were discussed and proposed for review at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People’s Congress. Li Qiang emphasized the need to implement the tasks outlined in the Central Economic Work Conference, to be brave in tackling difficulties, and to ensure a good start and a strong beginning for the “Fifteen Five” plan. Macro policies should be proactively implemented, with fiscal funds arranged in advance as much as possible, strengthening the coordination of fund allocation and project construction to ensure policies are quickly implemented and effective. Key tasks should be pushed forward promptly, with early organization and implementation when conditions are ripe. Policies supporting reform and innovation should be advanced together to better stimulate market vitality and explore new growth points in domestic demand. It is important to closely monitor changes in the situation, focus on stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations, conduct policy research and reserve, and introduce policies in a timely manner as needed to ensure the smooth completion of annual goals and tasks.
