Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told citizens on Feb. 27, 2010 that to secure a steady and fast economic development, the most important thing is to well treat the relationship among economic restructuring, the transformation of development pattern and inflation control. Following are some facts about the country's economic restructuring: China has pledged more efforts to accelerate economic restructuring this year to make its growth more sustainable, after its economy posted a strong recovery of 8.7 percent growth in 2009, exceeding its target of 8 percent. Growth of the world's third largest economy slowed to 6.1 percent from a year earlier in the first quarter of last year, led by a slump in exports caused by the global financial crisis starting in 2008. The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee issued a statement Monday which vowed that the government would accelerate economic restructuring and push forward substantive progress in changing the mode of economic development this year, while continuing the proactive fiscal policy and moderately loose monetary policy. The nation's top leaders have reiterated the need for economic restructuring, which analysts said, would be the focus of this year's macro policy. Chinese President Hu Jintao said on Feb. 3 that "on the surface, the global financial crisis impacted on the speed of China's economic growth, but in essence it was the economic growth pattern that was worst hit." "The transformation of economic development mode brooks no delay based on a comprehensive judgement on international and domestic economic situation," Hu said. The key for the transformation was to achieve it "at an accelerated speed" and with practical effects, he noted. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said on Feb. 4 that development of science, education and culture was key to the transformation of China's economic growth mode and its sustainable development. He urged traditional industries should be upgraded with the latest technologies to enhance their efficiency and competitiveness. On Feb. 5, Chinese Vice Premier of China said that the country entered a key period of time when adjusting economic structure was the only approach to advance the country's sustainable development. To achieve the end, China should further promote domestic consumption, he said, emphasizing the important roles that employment and the social security net play in fuelling domestic demand. On Feb. 21, Li Yizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, noted China's economic growth should shift its dependence to consumption, investment and exports from mainly on investment and export. Scientific advancement, labor quality and management innovation should replace resource investment to sustain economic growth, he said. To prop up growth, Chinese government has put in place several stimulus packages. Some aimed to push forward economic restructuring while striving to ensure growth. Source: Xinhua |
