In the past two weeks, the National Development and Reform Commission has held a series of press conferences on advancing the "15th Five-Year Plan". The five press conferences focused on the themes of cultivating and strengthening new driving forces, consolidating development support, building a solid security foundation, improving people's livelihood and well-being, and jointly building the "Belt and Road".
What signal does it send by holding intensive press conferences in the "final season" of the first year?
In a word: Planning is not a slogan written on paper, but an action on the ground.
Every sentence in the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline is being turned into special plans, implementation plans, and project lists, and some have even been implemented and taken effect.
Let’s look at the industry first.
Today's emerging industries may be the pillar industries of the future. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will set its sights on integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, low-altitude economy, new energy storage, and intelligent robots.
How to cultivate these emerging pillar industries? The National Development and Reform Commission has given four major priorities: building innovation capabilities, tackling key core technologies, developing application scenarios, and building an industrial ecosystem.
With planning and grasp, the industry has accelerated towards a new train. In the first three quarters of this year, the output of integrated circuits reached 442.8 billion units, a year-on-year increase of 23.3%; the external technology licensing transaction volume of innovative drugs was approximately US$130 billion, which was close to the level of the whole of last year.
Let’s look at people’s livelihood.
The most touching sentence at the press conference came from Huang Weiru, deputy director of the Department of Social Development of the National Development and Reform Commission: "For many families, the pressure to take care of the elderly and children at the same time is real."
This sentence clarifies the starting point of the policy. 14 billion yuan of central budget investment is used to build more than 100,000 nursing care beds and more than 30,000 nursing seats; more than 20 billion yuan of central government investment is used to transform 20,000 wards of 4 or more people into 2 to 3 people; about 20 billion yuan of central government investment is used to support the construction of 399 compact county medical communities...
The policy has been implemented, and the results have already been shown: the supply of inclusive child care places nationwide has increased by nearly 20%, the average price of inclusive child care services has dropped by about 13%, and the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security have been effectively improved.
It can be said that the five press conferences and five major themes point in the same direction: the blueprint has been drawn, and it is time to make progress.
From the accelerated rise of trillion-level emerging industries to the continuous improvement of infrastructure networks; from the security of food and energy to the tender protection of elderly care and care... the "15th Five-Year Plan" is moving from paper to ground, from vision to reality.
For market entities, this is a vast development opportunity.
By the end of the "15th Five-Year Plan", the total retail sales of consumer goods will reach about 60 trillion yuan; the output value of emerging pillar industries is expected to double to more than 10 trillion yuan; the gross marine product value is expected to exceed 13 trillion yuan. Three trillion yuan outlines the growth space in the next five years and is also a clear signal to the market.
For hundreds of millions of people, this is a full sense of livelihood gain.
Promote the proportion of nursing beds in nursing homes to reach 73%, steadily expand the enrollment scale of high-quality undergraduate education, promote basic education and public services to follow people, and increase the proportion of migrant children studying in public schools... The common people's daily necessities include rice, oil, salt, three meals a day and four seasons, each of which has specific guarantee measures.
The first year has entered the "final season", and the "15th Five-Year Plan" has already become "in progress" and is being implemented.
