国家发展和改革委员会

National Development and Reform Commission

各位代表:Fellow Deputies,
受国务院委托,现将2015年国民经济和社会发展计划执行情况与2016年国民经济和社会发展计划草案提请十二届全国人大四次会议审议,并请全国政协各位委员提出意见。The National Development and Reform Commission has been entrusted by the State Council to submit this report on the implementation of the 2015 plan and on the 2016 draft plan for national economic and social development to the Fourth Session of the Twelfth National People' s Congress (NPC) for your deliberation and also for comments from the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People' s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
一、2015年国民经济和社会发展计划执行情况I. Implementation of the 2015 Plan for National Economic and Social Development
去年以来,国际经济环境错综复杂,国内经济下行压力加大,各类风险挑战明显增多。各地区各部门在党中央国务院的正确领导下,坚持稳中求进工作总基调,主动适应经济发展新常态,认真执行十二届全国人大三次会议审议批准的2015年国民经济和社会发展计划,落实全国人大财政经济委员会的审查意见,扎实做好各方面工作,经济运行总体平稳,稳中有进,稳中有好,计划执行情况总体是好的。2015年主要目标任务的完成,标志着“十二五”规划胜利收官,我国站在了更高的发展水平上。Last year, China faced a complex international economic environment, mounting downward pressure on its economy, and a marked increase in the number of risks and challenges; despite this, we ensured that the overall implementation of the 2015 Plan for National Economic and Social Development was successful. This was as a result of the efforts of all regions and departments which, under the correct leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council, followed the general principle of making progress while keeping performance stable, worked to adapt to the new normal in economic development, earnestly implemented the 2015 plan approved at the Third Session of the Twelfth NPC, acted in line with the review of the plan by the NPC' s Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, and worked steadfastly to achieve good results in all respects. Overall, we managed to sustain steady economic development while also ensuring progress and improvement. Major targets and tasks set forth for 2015 were accomplished, marking a successful conclusion to the 12th Five-Year Plan, and helping China's development move to the next level.
(一)进一步完善宏观经济政策,经济保持中高速增长。创新宏观调控思路和方式,在区间调控基础上加强定向调控、相机调控,内需拉动力增强,出口占国际市场份额继续提高。国内生产总值达到67.67万亿元,增长6.9%,实现年度预期目标。1. We continued to improve our macroeconomic policy and maintained a medium-high rate of growth. We developed new ideas and methods for macro regulation, and on the basis of range-based regulation, we strengthened both targeted and well-timed regulation. Domestic demand became a stronger economic driver, and the international market share of China's exports continued to increase. China's gross domestic product (GDP) reached 67.67 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.9%, meaning the target set at the beginning of the year has been achieved.

一是投资关键作用有效发挥。围绕补短板、调结构,加大有效投资力度。把重大工程建设作为促进投资增长的“牛鼻子”,优化中央预算内投资结构,设立和投放专项建设基金,多措并举鼓励和吸引社会投资,11大类重大投资工程包建设有效推进。全社会固定资产投资增长9.8%,民间投资占固定资产投资(不含农户)比重提高到64.2%。

1) Investment played the key role in driving economic growth. Strengthening points of weakness and adjusting the economic structure were our primary focus when increasing the level of effective investment. To utilize the construction of major projects to stimulate investment growth, we improved the structure of investment from the central government budget, established and earmarked capital for special development funds, and adopted a wide range of measures to encourage and attract nongovernmental investment. As a result, considerable progress was achieved in the construction of major projects in 11 categories. Total fixed-asset investment for the year rose by 9.8%, of which 64.2% came from nongovernmental sources (excluding rural households).

二是消费潜力继续释放。扎实推进6大领域消费工程,实现投资3万亿元,带动相关消费2.8万亿元。旅游、网购、新能源汽车等消费新增长点不断培育壮大,社会消费品零售总额增长10.7%。2) Consumption potential was further exploited. Steady progress was achieved in six major projects aimed at stimulating consumption, and the three trillion yuan investment in these six projects contributed to consumption worth 2.8 trillion yuan. Tourism, online shopping, new-energy vehicles, and other new growth areas in consumer spending continued to grow, and total retail sales of consumer goods for the year rose by 10.7%.

三是经济结构进一步优化。消费超投资、三产超二产的特征更加明显,消费对经济增长的贡献率达到66.4%;第三产业增加值占国内生产总值的比重首次过半,达到50.5%。城乡区域协调协同性增强,新型城镇化积极推进,常住人口城镇化率56.1%。3) The economic structure was further improved. In terms of the contribution to economic growth, consumption far outweighed investment, making a 66.4% contribution, while the tertiary industry accounted for far more than the secondary industry. The value-added of the tertiary industry accounted for over half of GDP for the first time, reaching 50.5%. Development between urban and rural areas and between regions became more balanced and coordinated. The New Urbanization saw positive progress, with permanent urban residents now accounting for 56.1% of the population.
四是就业形势总体稳定。新一轮促进就业创业措施出台,创业创新对就业的带动作用增强。城镇新增就业1312万人,年末城镇登记失业率4.05%。4) The overall employment situation remained stable. New measures to increase employment and business start-ups were introduced, and entrepreneurship and innovation began to make a bigger contribution to increasing employment. An additional 13.12 million urban jobs were created throughout the year. The registered urban unemployment rate stood at 4.05% at the end of 2015.
五是价格总水平温和上涨。居民消费价格上涨1.4%。价格收费监管和反垄断执法深入开展,依法查处价格违法案件3.42万件,实施经济制裁104.77亿元,减轻企业负担约89亿元。5) Overall prices rose moderately. The consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.4%. We intensified oversight in relation to prices and charges and increased law enforcement to combat monopolistic pricing. In total, we investigated and dealt with 34,200 cases of pricing violations and imposed economic penalties totaling 10.477 billion yuan in accordance with the law. Our work in this area also helped reduce the burden on enterprises by about 8.9 billion yuan.
(二)改革开放向纵深推进,市场活力和社会创造力不断释放。简政放权、放管结合、优化服务深入推进,重要领域改革取得积极进展,开放型经济新体制加快构建。2. We deepened reform and opening up and stimulated market vitality and social creativity. We continued to streamline administration, delegate more powers, improving regulation, and provide better services. Progress was made in reforms in key areas, and the building of new systems for an open economy was accelerated.
一是行政审批制度改革不断深化。取消和下放311项行政审批事项,全部取消非行政许可审批,取消214项中央指定地方实施的行政审批事项,取消123项职业资格许可和认定事项。取消国务院部门行政审批中70%的中介服务事项。取消属于企业经营自主权范围的18项核准前置手续。简政放权三张清单、四大平台初步建立。“三证合一”、“一照一码”全面实施,新登记注册企业443.9万户,增长21.6%。不动产登记暂行条例正式实施。1) The reform of the government review and approval system continued. We cancelled the requirement for or delegated the power of government review on 311 items, cancelled all non-administrative review, exempted 214 items from review and approval conducted by local governments on behalf of the central government, and cancelled the requirement for approval and verification of 123 vocational qualifications. Seventy percent of the intermediary services involved in the review and approval practices of State Council bodies were cancelled. The requirement for pre-registration government review and approval on 18 items was cancelled, and these items are now listed as preliminaries that can be prepared by enterprises themselves. For the purpose of streamlining administration and delegating powers, initial steps were taken to establish the three lists and four platforms. Comprehensive steps were taken nationwide to replace the separate business license, organization code certificate, and taxation registration certificate with a unified business license with a unified social credit code. A total of 4.439 million enterprises were registered in 2015, an increase of 21.6%. The provisional regulations on the registration of immovable property were officially implemented.

Fresh progress was made in the reform of policy-backed financial institutions and developmental financial institutions. Effective measures were taken to prevent the occurrence of systemic financial risks.
三是投融资体制持续创新。开展政府和社会资本合作(PPP),通过特许经营、投资补助等多种方式,鼓励引导社会资本参与基础设施和公用事业建设运营。调整和完善固定资产投资项目资本金比例制度。适当调整和放宽企业债券发行条件,推出城市停车场、地下综合管廊、战略性新兴产业、养老产业、双创孵化、配电网建设改造等6个专项债券和项目收益债券、绿色债券创新品种。3) The investment and financing systems continued to undergo innovation. We used the public-private partnership (PPP) model and other measures such as granting franchise and subsidizing investment to encourage and guide the involvement of nongovernmental capital in the construction and operation of infrastructure and public utilities. We adjusted and improved the capital contribution requirements for fixed-asset investment projects. We properly adjusted and relaxed corporate bond issuance requirements, and issued new bonds such as project revenue bonds and bonds for eco-friendly initiatives, as well as six special bonds to finance the construction of urban parking lots and underground utility tunnels, the development of strategic emerging industries, the improvement of elderly care services, the building of incubators for entrepreneurship and innovation, and the construction and upgrading of power distribution grids.

4) Price reform was intensified. The guidelines for moving ahead with price reform were published and implemented. Pricing controls over nearly 40 goods and services were either lifted or delegated to lower-level governments. We revised the government pricing catalog, with pricing items being reduced by 80% for the central government and by 55% for local governments. We reduced the price of on-grid electricity from coal-fired power plants and the price of electricity for industry and commerce, and significantly decreased natural gas citygate prices for non-residential users. We improved pricing policies to make them more conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection. We further reviewed and standardized charges related to imports and exports.

We worked to ensure that all rural and non-working urban residents who have subscribed to basic medical insurance are also covered by the major disease insurance scheme, and actively promoted the system of tiered diagnosis and treatment. The temporary assistance system was implemented throughout the country. We lowered the premiums for unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and maternity insurance, which has helped enterprises to reduce annual contributions by over 60 billion yuan. Reform of the system for the use of official vehicles was completed in all organs of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, this reform was also launched in central government enterprises and public institutions, and its implementation was deepened in local Party and government bodies.

The Vision and Action Plan for Jointly Building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (the Belt and Road) was officially published, and progress was achieved in the development of six economic corridors and six channels for communications and distribution with key countries and ports serving as connection hubs*. Direct investments totaling US$ 14.8 billion were made to the countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, an increase of 18.2% over the previous year. The guidelines on international cooperation on industrial capacity and equipment manufacturing were released and implemented, and breakthroughs were made in China's rail transit technology and nuclear power "going global" . The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was officially established and the Silk Road Fund was put into operation. Guidelines relating to certain policies and measures supporting the development and opening up of major border areas were published. As a result of implementing the revised Catalog for the Guidance of Industries for Foreign Investment, the number of industries in which foreign investment is restricted was cut by 50%, the number of industries in which the amount of foreign investment is limited was reduced by 40%, and over 95% of all foreign investment projects are now only required to be placed on record with relevant authorities. The model for managing foreign debt was transformed so that foreign debt needs only to be registered instead of reviewed and approved. An additional three pilot free trade zones were established in Guangdong, Tianjin, and Fujian, and the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone was extended in area. Free trade agreements with the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Australia were signed respectively, as was the Protocol to Amend the Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation between ASEAN and the People's Republic of China.

The Chinese-standard EMU trains for which we hold the intellectual property rights rolled off the production line, breakthroughs in the development of a number of sophisticated modern agricultural machines were made, the National Robot Test and Evaluation Center was established, and smooth progress was made in the demonstration and application of Chinese-brand industrial robots. We set up an investment fund for advanced manufacturing, raising 20 billion yuan in the first round of funding, a portion of which came from private investors.
三是坚定不移化解产能严重过剩矛盾。清理整顿违规项目,严禁备案和建设产能严重过剩行业新增产能项目,产能扩张势头得到遏制。全年淘汰炼铁产能1300万吨、炼钢1700万吨、水泥3800万吨、电解铝30万吨、平板玻璃1100万重量箱以上。煤炭行业脱困深入推进。3) Unremitting efforts were made to address the serious problem of overcapacity. In order to curb the expansion of production capacity, we reviewed and reorganized projects that were in violation of relevant regulations, and strictly forbade the registration and construction of new projects in industries that were already burdened with severe overcapacity. Last year we reduced excess production capacity by 13 million metric tons of iron, 17 million metric tons of steel, 38 million metric tons of cement, 300,000 metric tons of electrolytic aluminum, and 11 million weight cases of plate glass. Efforts were stepped up to help turn the coal industry around.

(四)推动城乡区域协调发展,新的增长点增长极增长带加快形成。“三大战略”、“四大板块”、新型城镇化积极推进,新的发展空间不断拓展。4. We promoted coordinated development between urban and rural areas and between regions and sped up the formation of new areas of growth, growth poles, and growth belts. Positive headway was made in the implementation of the Three Initiatives (the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative; the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region; and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt), the development of the four regions (the western, northeastern, central, and eastern regions), and the promotion of the New Urbanization, all of which have made a contribution toward creating new space for development.
一是“三大战略”正在从蓝图向现实转化。“一带一路”建设开局良好。京津冀协同发展稳步前行,北京非首都功能疏解有序开展,交通、生态、产业三个重点领域率先突破加快推进。长江经济带发展深入推进,绿色生态廊道加快构建,综合交通体系逐步完善。1) The blueprint for the Three Initiatives produced tangible results. The Belt and Road Initiative got off to a good start. Steady progress was made in the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, with functions non-essential to Beijing's role as the capital being relocated away from the city in an orderly manner and initial breakthroughs being made in the three key areas of transportation, ecological conservation, and industry. Efforts to develop the Yangtze River Economic Belt were stepped up, with the development of the green, ecological corridor beginning to pick up speed and the comprehensive transportation system being gradually improved.

Projects to help rural migrant workers become permanent urban residents, to cultivate emerging small and medium-sized cities, and to promote new models of urban development all made smooth progress. Twenty-seven provinces (including autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) as well as the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps published their guidelines for carrying out reform of the household registration system, and provisional regulations concerning the residence certificate were published and implemented. Steady progress was made in advancing new models of urban development and in the cultivation of emerging small and medium-sized cities. Plans for the development of city clusters were completed for the Yangtze River Delta, and for the Chengdu-Chongqing and Harbin-Changchun regions. We further extended the state comprehensive pilot project for the New Urbanization to two provinces and 135 cities or towns. Positive results were achieved in implementing the reform to replace multiple plans for city (county) development with one master plan.
(五)加快转变农业发展方式,农业现代化扎实推进。农业和农村经济平稳发展,粮食产量实现“十二连增”。5. We accelerated the transformation of the agricultural growth model and made solid progress in agricultural modernization. Agricultural and rural development remained steady, and grain output increased for the twelfth consecutive year.
一是农业支持政策创新完善。“三农”投入继续加大,中央预算内投资用于“三农”的比重连续5年超过50%。全国涉农资金专项整治行动圆满完成,省级涉农资金整合优化试点启动实施。粮食最低收购价和临时收储政策逐步完善,新疆棉花、东北和内蒙古大豆目标价格改革试点进展顺利。粮棉油糖化肥等重要商品市场调控加强。1) Support policies for agriculture were innovated and improved. Investment in agriculture, rural areas, and farmers continued to grow, and for the fifth consecutive year the proportion of funds appropriated for investment in these three areas from the central government budget exceeded 50% of total funds. The program for the review of state funds for agricultural development was successfully completed, and the trials of integrating and optimizing the use of provincial funds for agricultural development were launched. We worked steadily to improve the policy for setting minimum state grain purchase prices and the policy for the temporary state purchase and storage of grain, and solid progress was made in implementing pilot reforms for guaranteeing base prices for cotton in Xinjiang, and for soybean in the northeast and Inner Mongolia. We strengthened regulation over the market for major commodities such as grain, cotton, edible oil, sugar, and chemical fertilizers.
二是农业农村基础设施建设继续强化。重大水利工程建设加快推进。大中型灌区节水改造和新增1000亿斤粮食生产能力规划田间工程加快实施,现代种业基础设施建设得到加强,粮食收储仓容建设力度加大。农村水电路气房等基础设施建设深入推进,城乡基础设施和公共服务设施互联互通、共建共享步伐加快。农业面源污染治理、东北黑土地保护利用、已垦草原治理试点启动,耕地重金属污染治理、地下水超采治理试点积极推进。2) Agricultural and rural infrastructure development was further strengthened. Construction on major water conservancy projects was accelerated. We stepped up efforts to upgrade water-saving facilities in medium-sized and large irrigation areas and carried out farmland improvement projects to support the plan to increase China's grain production capacity by 50 million metric tons, while also developing the infrastructure needed for a modern seed industry and expanding the capacity of grain silos. Further progress was made in strengthening rural infrastructure such as roads, housing, and water, power, and methane supply capacity. In order to increase cooperation and connectivity, urban and rural areas moved faster to jointly build and share infrastructure as well as public service facilities. Pilot projects were launched to control pollution from non-point agricultural sources, utilize and protect chernozem soil in the northeast, and improve the management of grassland reclamation areas; and progress was made in the trials for treating heavy-metal pollution on farmland and the over-abstraction of groundwater.

The average concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) dropped by 14.1% in the 74 cities where the new ambient air quality standards were first applied last year. More efforts were made to prevent and control water pollution in major water basins and to protect the ecosystems of lakes; as a result, the proportion of surface water with a water quality rating of Grade III or higher has risen to 66%. The pilot demonstration project to treat and restore contaminated soil was launched, and progress was made in trials for the environmental monitoring of contaminated sites.
四是应对气候变化取得新进展。启动第一批低碳城(镇)试点。在北京、天津、上海、重庆、广东、湖北、深圳等7个地方推进碳排放权交易试点。建设性参与气候变化巴黎大会,提出全球气候治理中国方案,推动达成巴黎协定。4) Fresh achievements were made in responding to climate change. The first round of pilot projects for low-carbon cities (towns) were launched, and trials for trading carbon emissions rights were carried out in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hubei, and Shenzhen. Our participation and constructive role at the United Nations Climate Change conference in Paris allowed us to put forward China's approach to climate governance and make a contribution toward the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement.
(七)更加注重保障和改善民生,民生福祉持续改善。多措并举增投入、补短板、兜底线,扎牢民生保障网。7. We put greater emphasis on ensuring and improving living standards and made consistent progress in improving people's quality of life. Multiple methods were used to increase investment, strengthen points of weakness, and help those most in need, thereby helping to weave a strong social safety net.
一是精准扶贫精准脱贫步伐加快。易地扶贫搬迁、产业扶贫、转移就业、教育扶贫、健康扶贫等扶贫工程启动实施。全年农村贫困人口减少1442万人。对革命老区开发建设、赣南等原中央苏区振兴发展的支持力度明显加大。加强中央支持和对口支援,进一步促进新疆、西藏和四川、云南、甘肃、青海四省藏区经济社会发展和长治久安。1) The implementation of targeted measures to reduce poverty gathered pace. We launched a number of projects to alleviate poverty, such as relocating people from inhospitable areas, supporting the development of local industries, promoting education and helping to increase health standards in poor areas, and providing support for people seeking employment. The number of people living in poverty in rural areas was reduced by 14.42 million. Greater efforts were made to support the development of the old revolutionary base areas and the revitalization of the former Central Soviet areas including southern Jiangxi. We strengthened support from the central government and pairing assistance programs for underdeveloped localities, and took further steps to promote both the economic and social development and the long-term peace and stability of Xinjiang, Tibet, and Tibetan ethnic areas in Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai.
二是居民收入稳定增长。全国居民人均可支配收入实际增长7.4%,其中农村居民人均纯收入突破万元大关,实际增长7.5%,增幅连续第6年高于经济增速和城镇居民收入增幅。城乡居民收入比下降到2.73:1。2) Personal income increased steadily. Per capita disposable personal income increased by 7.4% in real terms. Rural per capita net income exceeded 10,000 yuan and registered a 7.5% increase in real terms, making it the sixth consecutive year in which the increase in rural per capita net income has surpassed the growth rate of both GDP and urban per capita disposable income. The ratio of urban income to rural income per capita dropped to 2.73:1.
三是社会保障水平稳步提高。基本养老保险参保人数达到8.58亿人,基本医疗保险参保率稳定在95%以上。企业退休人员养老金水平继续提高,城乡居民基础养老金最低标准由每人每月55元提高到70元。城乡居民医保财政补助标准由每人每年320元提高到380元。特困人员供养制度开始规范建立,20个省市建立了困难残疾人生活补贴和重度残疾人护理补贴制度,800多万残疾人受益。3) Steady progress was made in the area of social security. The number of people covered by basic old-age insurance has reached 858 million. The rate of participation for basic medical insurance stood at over 95% and pension benefits for enterprise retirees continued to rise. The minimum basic pension benefit for rural and non-working urban residents rose from 55 yuan to 70 yuan per month. The annual government subsidy for basic medical insurance covering rural and non-working urban residents was increased from 320 yuan to 380 yuan per person. Work to establish a standardized system to provide basic necessities for people experiencing extreme difficulties began. The system for granting living allowances to people with disabilities who are facing financial difficulties and a caring subsidy to people with serious disabilities was put in place in 20 provinces and provincial-level municipalities, with over eight million people benefiting from the system.
四是公共服务供给水平进一步提升。贫困地区义务教育薄弱学校办学条件持续改善,乡村教师支持计划启动实施,农村贫困地区学生进入重点大学渠道进一步畅通。九年义务教育巩固率、高中阶段教育毛入学率分别达到93%和87%。基层医疗服务体系、重大疾病防治体系、全科医生培养基地建设加强,人均基本公共卫生服务经费达到40元,服务项目扩大到12类。国家基本公共文化服务指导标准发布实施,地市级公共文化服务设施建设支持力度加大。体育产业创新发展取得积极进展。4) Better public services were provided.

五是保障性安居工程建设顺利推进。加大中央预算内投资和中央财政专项资金支持力度,安排专项建设基金和企业债券融资,支持棚户区改造等保障性安居工程。全年城镇保障性安居工程新开工783万套,基本建成772万套。5) The construction of government-subsidized housing progressed smoothly. We supported government-subsidized housing projects, such as the rebuilding of run-down areas, by increasing central government's budgetary investments and special funding in this area, allocating special development funds, and securing financing through corporate debt issuance. Over the last year, construction began on 7.83 million government-subsidized housing units in urban areas and construction on 7.72 million units was basically completed.
从计划指标运行情况看,经济增长、价格总水平、国际收支平衡、就业等总量指标保持在合理区间,一些反映经济结构和质量的指标进一步改善,社会发展和民生保障类指标继续向好,资源节约利用和环境保护类指标完成情况较好,计划指标的完成情况总体是好的。In assessing performance in relation to meeting the targets projected in the plan, overall targets for national economic and social development, such as the economic growth rate, the consumer price index, the balance of payments, and employment levels, remained within the proper range; those targets reflecting economic structure and quality were further improved; targets regarding social development and people's wellbeing maintained positive momentum; and targets related to resource conservation and environmental protection were implemented satisfactorily. Overall, planned targets were well met.
18个约束性指标全部完成。41个预期性指标中,35个运行情况符合或好于预期,5个指标运行值与预期值存在差距,1个由于统计口径变化数据不可比。需要说明的是,预期性指标的计划目标不是指令性的,也不是预测值,而是国家期望的发展目标,体现预期和政策导向,实际运行情况是市场行为的客观结果,可能高于预期目标,也可能低于预期目标。部分指标运行值与预期目标存在差距,有以下几种情况。一是为体现宏观调控内需导向,社会消费品零售总额和全社会固定资产投资指标定得比预测值稍高一些,是全年的努力目标,实际运行结果与预期目标会有一定差距。社会消费品零售总额指标受输入性通缩以及国内部分工业品价格下跌、农产品价格涨幅有限等影响,实际增幅基本符合预期,但名义增长则低于年初确定的预期目标。全社会固定资产投资指标,主要是在国际市场低迷、内需不足的情况下,部分制造业行业出现产能严重过剩,加上三四线城市房地产库存高企以及投资品价格降幅持续扩大等因素影响,全年增长也低于年初确定的预期目标。二是有的指标低于预期存在特殊因素。2015年经济下行压力加大、企业利润持续下滑,制约了研发投入,加上2014年研究与试验发展经费支出与国内生产总值之比的统计数据,由年初的2.09%修正为年末的2.05%,使得2015年预期目标未能实现。三是国际经济环境变化导致有的指标全年数值低于预期目标。受全球贸易放缓、国际能源价格大幅下跌影响,进出口总额指标增速低于预期目标。国际大宗商品价格大幅下跌,加之国内市场需求不旺,导致天然气产量指标未能达到全年预期目标。此外,由于主管部门调整了户籍人口统计口径,户籍人口城镇化率指标2015年实际数与计划数不可比。All 18 obligatory targets have been achieved as planned. Of the 41 anticipatory targets, the performance of 35 was in line with or better than expectations, 5 fell short of the projected figures, and there is one target for which the figures are not comparable due to changes in the statistical standards. It should be noted that the anticipatory targets are neither mandatory nor predicted; they are development objectives that the government hopes to achieve and a reflection of the anticipated direction of national development and policy orientation. The actual performance of these targets is objectively decided by the market, and may be higher or lower than the projected figures. The reasons for the discrepancies between the projected figures for some anticipatory targets and the actual performance are as follows: First, in order to reflect the orientation of macro-control policies toward boosting domestic demand, the targets of total retail sales of consumer goods and fixed-asset investment were set slightly higher than the estimated figures. These were targets for us to work toward over the course of the whole year, and as a result, there was a minor difference between the actual performance and the projected figures. The actual increase in the total retail sales of consumer goods basically met the projected target in real terms, but was lower than the target set at the beginning of the year in nominal terms because of imported deflation, the decline in the prices of some domestically manufactured goods, and the limited increase in the prices of agricultural products. In the face of a sluggish international market and insufficient domestic demand, total fixed-asset investment also fell short of the projected figure set at the beginning of 2015. This was due to serious overcapacity in some manufacturing industries; excess supply in the real estate markets of third- and fourth-tier cities; and a sustained fall in the prices of goods for investment as well as other factors. Second, unique factors resulted in the target for spending on R&D being lower than the projected figure. This was due to the increasing downward pressure on economic growth and the continued decline in the profits of enterprises in 2015. In addition, the figure for spending on R&D as a percentage of GDP in 2014 was adjusted statistically from 2.09% at the beginning of the year to 2.05% at the end of the year. These factors meant that the 2015 target for R&D spending as a percentage of GDP was not achieved. Third, changes in the international economic environment caused the yearly figures for some targets to be lower than the projected figures. Under the influence of a slowdown in the growth of world trade and a slump in energy prices on the international market, the growth of total import and export volume was slower than projected. A sharp drop in the prices of major commodities on the global market and the slackening demand for natural gas on the domestic market also meant that natural gas output for last year fell short of the projected target. Finally, the statistical standards for calculating the population using household registration have been adjusted by the competent department, and therefore the actual figure for the percentage of the population registered as urban residents in 2015 is not comparable with the projected figure.
总之,在国内外形势错综复杂的情况下,我国经济社会发展取得的成就来之不易。这是党中央国务院正确领导的结果,是各地区各部门共同努力的结果,是全国各族人民团结奋斗的结果。经过五年的努力,“十二五”规划《纲要》主要指标顺利完成。In brief, facing complex situations both at home and abroad, the achievements that China has made thus far in economic and social development have not come easily. They are the result of the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and the concerted efforts of all regions and departments and the people of all our ethnic groups. Through five years of hard work, the major targets set out in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development have been successfully completed.
同时,我们也清醒地认识到,世界经济继续深度调整、分化明显,全球经济、国际贸易双双低速增长,地缘政治风险上升,复苏基础仍相当脆弱,外部环境的不稳定不确定因素增加。国内经济处于“三期叠加”阶段,经济持续下行带来的不利影响和长期积累的深层次矛盾特别是结构性矛盾进一步显现,发展面临的形势可能更加错综复杂,困难可能会更大。一是经济下行压力加大。需求放缓趋势仍在延续。外需总体疲弱,外贸形势更加严峻复杂。受工业品价格持续低迷、劳动力等要素成本上升影响,投资特别是制造业投资增长乏力。随着经济下行压力逐步向就业、收入领域传导,对居民消费的影响可能显现。二是实体经济困难继续加重。受需求不足和综合成本上升的双重挤压,部分行业企业盈利能力下降、亏损增加,困难企业增多。一些行业和企业出现裁员或隐性失业情况。三是结构性矛盾进一步凸显。有效需求乏力和有效供给不足并存,新旧动力转换不均衡。供给侧结构性矛盾更加突出,供给体系调整滞后,有效供给不能适应需求总量和结构变化,结构性产能过剩依然比较严重。四是生态环境问题依然突出。大气污染形势严峻,严重雾霾天气在一些城市和地区时有发生。水环境质量偏低,一些地方地下水严重超采。一些地区土壤污染治理任务艰巨。环境基础设施建设滞后。五是各方面风险因素积聚交织。财政收入增速放缓,收支矛盾突出,地方债务存在局部风险隐患。银行业不良贷款余额和比例“双升”,企业负债率上升,非法集资多发,潜在金融风险仍在积聚。与此同时,安全生产和民生等领域也出现一些新问题。我们要高度重视,充分估计经济下行带来的困难和挑战,增强忧患意识,坚持底线思维,既保持战略定力,又及时做好预警预案预控,更加有效应对,认真加以解决。

At the same time, we should also be keenly aware that the world economy is still undergoing profound adjustment, the divergence of economies is pronounced, growth of the global economy and trade are sluggish, geopolitical risks are on the rise, the foundation for economic recovery is still weak, and external instabilities and uncertainties are increasing. In this current period of development, China must simultaneously manage the slowdown in economic growth, make difficult structural adjustments, and absorb the effects of previous economic stimulus policies. As the adverse effects of a sustained slowdown in economic growth continue to persist and deep-seated and longstanding problems, especially structural problems, become more serious, the conditions for China's development may become even more complex and the difficulties even more formidable.

First, the downward pressure on China's economy is mounting. The slowdown in the growth of demand is continuing. With international demand remaining weak, the situation in relation to foreign trade has become more challenging and complex. Affected by the persistently low prices of manufactured goods and the rising costs of labor and other factors of production, growth in investment is slow, particularly in the area of manufacturing. As downward pressure on China's economy begins to affect employment and personal income, it may also spread to and affect private consumption.

Second, the difficulties faced by the real economy are building. Having been pressed by insufficient demand as well as a rise in overall costs, the ability of enterprises in some industries to make a profit has decreased, and with losses in some industries increasing the number of enterprises facing difficulty is also rising. This has resulted in layoffs and hidden unemployment within some enterprises and industries.

Third, structural problems are becoming more prominent. Weak effective demand has been coincident with insufficient effective supply, and the transition from the old to the new drivers of growth has been unbalanced. The delayed adjustment of the supply system has resulted in supply-side structural problems becoming more pronounced, and effective supply has not yet adapted to aggregate demand or to changes in the structure of demand, while structural overcapacity is still a significant problem.

Fourth, ecological and environmental problems are still grave. Air pollution remains serious, with the frequent occurrence of heavy smog in some cities and areas. The quality of the water environment is relatively poor and the over-abstraction of groundwater is severe in some regions; while other regions face an arduous task in bringing soil pollution under control. The construction of environmental infrastructure lags behind.

Fifth, challenges and risks in other areas are accumulating and intertwining. The growth of government revenue is slowing down; the imbalance between revenue and expenditures is becoming more pronounced; and there are risks and hidden dangers in local government debt. The amount and ratio of non-performing loans reported by banks have increased; the debt ratios of enterprises are also rising; illegal fund-raising is becoming more frequent; and hidden financial risks are mounting. At the same time, there are also new problems to be addressed in relation to workplace safety and the people's well-being.

We must attach great importance to these issues, carry out a full evaluation of the difficulties and challenges that have arisen as a result of downward pressure on the economy, and become more aware of potential dangers and the bottom line. We need to maintain our strategic focus while taking timely steps to undertake early warning initiatives, formulate contingency plans, and exercise anticipatory regulation; such measures will ensure that we can respond effectively to these problems and resolve them.
