Fully understand the significance of the Fifth National Economic Census
The National Economic Census is a major survey of national conditions and strength, which, together with the Population Census and Agricultural Census, constitutes the three major periodic census projects in China. In 2023, China will carry out the fifth national economic census. After China has completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieved the first centennial goal, it is of great and far-reaching significance to carry out this census at a critical moment when we seize the momentum to embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in all respects and march towards the second centennial goal, which will promote high-quality development of China's economy and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization.
Carrying out the fifth national economic census is conducive to comprehensively understanding the "family background" of China's economy, better serving and promoting Chinese path to modernization. A "comprehensive physical examination" of the economic and social development status and an in-depth understanding of China's comprehensive national strength and economic strength will provide a comprehensive reference basis for the scientific formulation of medium - and long-term plans for national economic and social development and the solid promotion of Chinese path to modernization.
Conducting the fifth national economic census is conducive to accurately grasping the characteristics of economic and social development in the new era, and better serving to promote high-quality development. Currently, the international environment is complex and severe, and the world's unprecedented major changes are accelerating. The task of domestic reform, development, and stability is arduous and arduous. Conducting this census will comprehensively grasp the new progress in promoting high-quality development, building a new development pattern, and building a modern economic system, as well as the total economic output and structural changes in the past five years. It will help us continue to deepen supply side structural reform, shape new development drivers and advantages, enhance the resilience and security level of industrial and supply chains, promote regional coordinated development and high-level opening up to the outside world, and promote the effective improvement of quality and reasonable growth of quantity in the economy.
Conducting the fifth national economic census is conducive to further strengthening and improving macroeconomic regulation, and better serving to promote sustained economic stabilization and improvement. Since the beginning of this year, China's economy and society have fully resumed normal operation, and economic development has shown a rebound and positive trend. However, the endogenous driving force is still not strong, and demand is still insufficient. Economic transformation and upgrading are facing new obstacles, and promoting high-quality development still needs to overcome many difficulties and challenges. This census is the first to comprehensively conduct input-output surveys, comprehensively investigate the development scale, layout, and benefits of the secondary and tertiary industries, understand the basic situation of various units, and grasp the economic connections between industries in the national economy. It will better play the role of government statistics as measuring instruments, indicators, and risk indicators, accurately reflect the implementation of the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and help us adopt more precise and effective policy measures to promote the continuous improvement of economic operation, the continuous enhancement of endogenous power, the continuous improvement of social expectations, and the continuous resolution of risks and hidden dangers.
By monitoring the economy and understanding the family background, we can benefit from the results of the census. At present, the fifth national economic census has entered a critical period of comprehensive organization and implementation.
