Economic Daily Jin Guanping: Actively exploring and creating new growth points
New economic growth points usually have great market potential, rapid growth, strong radiation and driving ability, and high growth potential. This year's Government Work Report has made some specific arrangements for cultivating new growth points in the economy. The previous executive meeting of the State Council also proposed to optimize management and services with innovative ideas, and support local governments and enterprises to actively explore and create new growth points.
Currently, there is a lack of momentum in both investment and consumption in China, and the traditional driving force for economic growth has significantly weakened. In this context, actively exploring the creation of new growth points and cultivating and strengthening new driving forces is not only an urgent need to achieve effective improvement in economic quality and reasonable growth in quantity, but also an important support for building a modern industrial system and enhancing international competitiveness.
In the first year of the 15th Five Year Plan, various regions are actively laying a solid foundation for exploring and creating new growth points. Key industrial upgrading and transformation in Guangdong and Shandong; Hubei and Anhui focus on technological innovation to lead the development of new quality productivity; Hunan, Liaoning and other regions have made it clear to continuously optimize the business environment and promote high-quality development of the private economy. Overall, it is necessary to leverage local resource endowments, identify segmented tracks according to local conditions, cultivate new industry growth points, new investment growth points, and new consumption growth points.
Plan for the future and accelerate the cultivation of new industry growth points. Currently, the focus of global cutting-edge technological innovation and competition in key industrial chains is accelerating towards emerging and future industries. On the one hand, various regions should accelerate investment layout in fields such as new energy, new materials, aerospace, quantum technology, biomanufacturing, embodied intelligence, etc; On the other hand, it is also necessary to plan the focus of industrial development according to one's own conditions and local conditions, in order to avoid problems such as rushing forward or even "internal competition". At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively consider and promote the orderly upgrading of industrial structure by building a modern industrial system that cultivates and synergizes traditional industries, emerging industries, and future industries.
Based on long-term efforts to improve quality and efficiency, accelerate the cultivation of new investment growth points. Investment is an important driving force for economic growth, and greater efforts should be made to lay the foundation, benefit the long term, make up for shortcomings, adjust the structure, and increase momentum. Utilize new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to transform and enhance infrastructure such as transportation, water conservancy, information networks, cultural tourism, etc; Accelerate the construction of digital infrastructure such as 5G, cloud data center, next-generation Internet, Internet of Things, supercomputing center, etc. During this process, we will continue to optimize the business environment, protect and stimulate the enthusiasm of private investment, and increase support for private capital participation in key projects.
Scenario innovation activates momentum and accelerates the cultivation of new consumption growth points. Scene innovation is an important lever for cultivating new growth points in consumption. New scenarios can be created around areas such as catering, cultural tourism and sports, shopping, bulk commodities, health, elderly care and community consumption, to stimulate vitality through optimizing supply, promoting pilot projects, innovating scenarios, and strengthening talent cultivation; Actively cultivating digital consumption and green low-carbon consumption; In response to changes in population structure, we will vigorously develop the silver economy, connect with the consumption needs of the elderly, and continuously meet the high-quality living needs of the people.
Creating new growth points is both a tough and persistent battle. We need to adhere to a systematic approach, grasp the timing and effectiveness of policies, deepen reforms with greater efforts, optimize the environment, encourage innovation with stronger determination, tolerate trial and error, and continuously unleash development potential.
