The characteristics of China's economic development with strong toughness, great potential, broad prospects and long-term improvement have not changed, and China has the foundation, conditions, confidence and ability to maintain economic growth Economic stability, health and sustainable development. " The person in charge said.

From the perspective of development foundation, the comprehensive national strength continues to improve significantly. In 2021, the total economic output will exceed 114 trillion yuan, the advantages of a complete industrial system will continue to be highlighted, people's lives will continue to improve, society will remain harmonious and stable, and the ability to resist risks and shocks will be further improved.

From the perspective of factor conditions, efforts have been made to solve the problem of factor shortage in the supply field, and the supply guarantee of energy and raw materials has been significantly enhanced. High quality coal production capacity was released, prices fell significantly, and power supply was stable and orderly. In 2021, the output of integrated circuits increased by 33.3% over the previous year, and the supply of automobile chips gradually increased.

From the perspective of endogenous power, accelerate the formation of a strong domestic market and take new steps in building a new development pattern. Consumption growth potential is huge. Traditional industries have accelerated their extension and expansion in the direction of digitization, networking and intelligence, emerging industries have flourished, major regional strategies and the construction of new urbanization have been actively promoted, and investment demand has been continuously stimulated. Reform in key areas was further promoted and opening to the outside world continued to expand.

From the perspective of policy support, strengthen the organic combination of cross cyclical and counter cyclical macro-control policies, and continuously release the combined effects of the "seven policies" of macro, micro, structure, science and technology, reform and opening up, region and society. There is still much room for macro policy, there are many policy reserve tools, and they are capable of maintaining the stable operation of the economy.

Meet various challenges with a stable economic operation situation
