Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Maintaining the Strength of Supplementary Boards in the Field of Infrastructure
2018-10-31
State Office Fair No. 101 [2018]
People's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions of the State Council and directly affiliated institutions:
It is a key task to deepen the structural reform of supply side. In recent years, China's fixed assets investment structure has been continuously optimized, which provides a strong support for strengthening the economic development momentum, filling the shortage of infrastructure, promoting employment and improving people's livelihood. However, the overall investment growth rate has slowed down since this year, especially in infrastructure investment, which has fallen back a lot. There are large investment gaps in some areas and projects. It is urgent to focus on the shortcomings in infrastructure, maintain effective investment, promote domestic demand expansion and structural adjustment, enhance medium and long-term supply capacity, and form a mutually reinforcing supply-demand partnership. Entering a virtuous circle ensures that the economy operates within a reasonable range. In order to implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, deepen the structural reform of the supply side, and further enhance the supporting role of infrastructure in promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and regions, and improving people's livelihood, the State Council has agreed to make the following suggestions on how to maintain the shortcomings in the field of infrastructure.
