Major implementation measures to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern
Question: In the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, what is the significance of the implementation of the “Action Plan for Building a High Standard Market System”?
Answer: The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party proposed to build a high-standard market system, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party clearly implemented the construction of a high-standard market system. This is a major decision and deployment made by the central government from the overall perspective of development and reform.
Building a high-standard market system is the basic support for building a new development pattern. Breaking down the system and mechanism barriers that hinder the market-oriented allocation of production factors and the circulation of goods and services, unblocking market circulation, clearing policy blockages, and opening up the circulation arteries, can give full play to the economies of scale and agglomeration effects of major countries and link production, distribution, circulation, and consumption. , To provide strong institutional support for building a new development pattern.
Building a high-standard market system is an important driving force for high-quality economic development. High-quality development requires quality change, efficiency change, and power change. The basic system, operating efficiency, degree of openness, and regulatory system of the market system must be matched. Building a high-standard market system, insisting on the equal protection of economic property rights of all types of ownership, improving the judicial protection system for property rights enforcement, and strengthening the basic position of competition policies are conducive to forming a market environment for fair competition among market players and fully stimulating their vitality and creativity.
Building a high-standard market system is an inherent requirement for building a high-level socialist market economic system. Since the reform and opening up, my country’s market system construction has made great progress. However, it should also be noted that the basic system of the market system is still not sound, the development of the factor market is lagging behind, the market competition environment is not perfect, the breadth and depth of the market’s internal and external opening still need to be expanded, and market supervision is not yet suitable for economic and social development. Building a market system with higher standards is an inherent requirement for building a more mature and stereotyped high-level socialist market economy system.
Building a high-standard market system is a fundamental reform. The promulgation of the action plan is a major reform deployment to implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party. It is also another important achievement of landmark significance in building a high-level socialist market economic system in the new era. It will contribute to the promotion of high-quality development. , Building a new development pattern plays an important supporting role.
Promote a better integration of effective markets and effective governments
Question: How to understand and grasp the connotation and requirements of the high-standard market system?
Answer: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, market system construction has always been in a prominent position. The action plan puts forward for the first time that “through five years of hard work, a high-standard market system with a unified and open, orderly competition, complete system, and perfect governance will be basically established.” It emphasizes the completeness of the system, fair competition, and government maintenance of the market. The importance of order to compensate for market failures.
Building a high-standard market system requires not only to give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources, but also to give better play to the role of the government, fully integrate the market economy with socialism, promote a better integration of effective markets and effective governments, and strengthen market regulations. Institutional capabilities, actively connecting and influencing international market rules, and comprehensively enhancing the attractiveness and competitiveness of market rules.
“High standards” are understood from six aspects.
The first is a high-standard market system basic system. This is the basis for the effective operation of the market system. Strict property rights protection is the basic driving force to stimulate the vitality of various market entities. The implementation of a unified national market access negative list system is a prerequisite for forming a unified national market and taking advantage of the super-large market scale. Fair competition is an effective market operation mechanism, which can promote the full competition of market entities, the survival of the fittest, and the optimal allocation of resources.
The second is a high-standard factor market system. This is the focus and difficulty of building a high-standard market system. The insufficient development of factor markets such as land, labor, capital, technology, and data is the shortcoming of the high-standard market system. Promote the market-oriented allocation of operational land elements, promote the orderly flow of labor elements, promote the healthy development of the capital market, develop knowledge, technology, and data element markets, and form a mechanism for the flow of production elements from low-quality and low-efficiency areas to high-quality and efficient areas. The task is urgent .
The third is a high-standard market environment and quality. This is an important task for building a high-standard market system. It is necessary to comprehensively improve the quality of products and services, strengthen the protection of consumer rights, and greatly reduce the difficulty and cost of rights protection after consumer rights are infringed, so that various market entities have a stronger sense of gain.
The fourth is high-standard market infrastructure. This is an important support for building a high-standard market system. The upgrade of high-standard market infrastructure is not only an important starting point for expanding domestic demand and building a strong domestic market, but also an important measure for my country to enhance its competitiveness and regulatory influence. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of market infrastructure, promote interconnection, and adapt to changes in market patterns represented by the rise of virtual markets, build smart markets, and guide the healthy development of platform companies.
Fifth, a high-standard market opening. This is an inherent requirement for building a high-standard market system. The high standard of market opening is not only reflected in the continuous expansion of open areas at home and abroad, but also in the continuous expansion of the depth of opening. It is necessary to deepen market-oriented reforms, deepen open cooperation in the field of competition rules, and promote institutional opening.
Sixth, a high-standard modern market supervision mechanism. This is an important prerequisite for building a high-standard market system. This decentralized power must be fully put in place, and the matters that should be managed are well managed to maintain market security and stability, and improve the scientific and effective market supervision.
Five years of action cycle
Question: How to ensure that the action plan is implemented and effective?
Answer: The action plan is an action guide to guide the construction of a high-standard market system in the next five years. Promoting in the form of an action plan is to transform the central decision-making and deployment into concrete actions that can be implemented, to clarify the division of responsibilities, action paths, and ways of advancing, to take five years as an action cycle, to make dynamic adjustments, and to strive to achieve the action plan. Action, action, action, action can be implemented, can be effective.
One is to improve the working mechanism. The National Development and Reform Commission will establish a working mechanism with relevant parties to promote implementation. Strengthen the follow-up analysis and coordinate guidance of the implementation of various actions, strengthen the construction of coordination mechanisms, and report major issues to the Party Central Committee and the State Council in a timely manner.
The second is to promote system construction. On the one hand, strengthen the construction of the basic system of the market system, including basic systems such as property rights protection, market access, and fair competition; on the other hand, strengthen the modern market supervision mechanism that can promote the effective operation of the market system, and enhance the attractiveness and Other institutional construction of influence.
The third is to strengthen demonstration and guidance. Encourage some regions with a good market system foundation to take the lead in building a high-standard market system, sum up, copy, and promote good experience and practices in a timely manner, and give full play to the role of demonstration and guidance.
The fourth is to consolidate the joint efforts of all parties. The construction of a high-standard market system is a systematic project. It is necessary to promote all regions and departments to focus on key tasks, link up and down, and work together to form a good situation of working together to implement tasks.
