The State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 10:00 am today (October 12th). Officials from the Ministry of Finance will introduce the relevant information on "increasing the countercyclical adjustment of fiscal policies and promoting high-quality economic development" and answer questions from reporters. What are the highly anticipated issues?
CCTV reporter Wang Lei: At 10:00 am this morning, Minister of Finance, Liao Fa'an, will be here to introduce the relevant information on increasing the countercyclical adjustment of fiscal policies. I arrived at the scene early this morning and had a preliminary exchange with fellow reporters to share the current situation using two "high" points.
High Specification: Minister of Finance and three deputy ministers will introduce the situation
CCTV reporter Wang Lei: Firstly, it is of high specification. Apart from Minister of Finance Liao Fa'an, three deputy ministers will also attend, with the presence of the Minister of Finance and three deputy ministers, indicating the level of importance attached to this press conference.
I learned that these three deputy ministers are responsible for areas such as the General Office, Budget Department, and Treasury Department, which are related to many tools in the fiscal policy toolbox that we often mention in our daily lives, including long-term special national bonds and special bonds. So, what specific content they will bring today is highly anticipated.
High Attention: Many attending media reporters, hot topics in the spotlight
CCTV reporter Wang Lei: Secondly, there is high attention. We arrived at the scene quite early today, and even before 9:00 am, many reporters were already queuing to enter. The number of seats at the venue today is noticeably more crowded than usual, indicating that the State Council Information Office is making efforts to meet the needs of reporters. Although there is still some time before the press conference starts, many media reporters have already taken their seats. It is evident that everyone does not want to miss the opportunity to ask questions today and wants to get a close understanding of the latest fiscal policies.
What are the questions that reporters are focusing on? I just chatted with my media colleagues, let me summarize for everyone.
Media Focus: How to increase the countercyclical adjustment of fiscal policies
- Firstly, media reporters are concerned about how to increase the countercyclical adjustment of fiscal policies, what specific measures will be taken, especially targeted and effective incremental policies.
- In addition, what tools are available in the fiscal policy toolbox? For example, a major highlight of this year's fiscal policy is the issuance of one trillion yuan in long-term special national bonds. How to effectively use these bonds and local government special bonds to better leverage government investment to drive growth is also a hot topic of media attention.
- Thirdly, policies closely related to the general public, such as support and protection for key groups, how to do a good job in grassroots "three guarantees" work, and better benefit people's livelihoods, are also contents that everyone is eager to understand
