National Development and Reform Commission: Culture, sports and other service industries will receive strong support

"generally speaking, there is great potential for the development of China's service industry in the future. We should make good use of the situation, improve supply, fully mobilize the consumption enthusiasm and potential of the broad masses, and enhance the pulling effect of consumption on economic growth."

A few days ago, the executive meeting of the State Council examined and adopted the guidelines on speeding up the development of living service industries and promoting the upgrading of consumption structure and on actively giving play to the leading role of new consumption to speed up the cultivation of new supply and new driving forces.

"generally speaking, there is great potential for the development of China's service industry in the future. We should take advantage of the situation, improve supply, fully mobilize the consumption enthusiasm and potential of the broad masses, and enhance the pulling effect of consumption on economic growth." At a regular policy briefing held by the Information Office of the State Council on November 13, Lin Nianxiu, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that while moderately expanding aggregate demand, efforts should be made to strengthen supply-side structural reform, strive to improve the quality and efficiency of the supply system, and enhance the driving force of sustained economic growth.

" at present, the absolute surplus of low-tech and low-quality products and services in the domestic market coexists with a large number of unmet real demand and a relative shortage of products and services. " Lin Nianxiu believes that new consumption can lead to the expansion of effective supply, institutional innovation and the improvement of the consumption environment.

"restricted by some institutional mechanisms, it is difficult for some service industries and emerging industries to fully develop and compete effectively." Lin Nianxiu said, for example, there are still some restrictions on the entry of social capital in education, health care, culture and other fields. New technologies such as biomedicine, personalized production methods such as 3D printing, new infrastructure such as smart microgrid, and new models of sharing economy such as "Internet +" are emerging. These new consumption, new industries, and new business type development all urgently need to speed up system construction.

at the same time, the capacity-building of standard-setting in our country is insufficient, the speed of standard updating is slow, the brand construction of product and service quality lags behind, and it is difficult for consumers' rights and interests to be effectively protected. The development of new consumption will help to make up the above shortcomings and create a safe, convenient and honest consumption environment.

Lin Nianxiu said: the Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, will step up efforts to formulate supporting policies and measures, organize the implementation of a number of major projects, speed up the development of living service industries, and speed up the cultivation of new supply and new driving forces.

"in the survey, it is found that the development of the bioactive service industry is relatively extensive, the quality level is not high, and the personalized supply is seriously insufficient, which is one of the most concentrated and intense problems." Lin Nianxiu said that the effective way to solve this problem is to promote the transformation of the bioactive service industry to refinement and high quality.

Lin Nianxiu said that to achieve this change, it is important to innovate the concept of development. The guiding opinions on accelerating the Development of Bioactive Service Industry and promoting the upgrading of consumption structure put forward "four points to pay attention to", that is, to vigorously advocate the concept of life consumption of advocating green environmental protection, paying attention to quality and quality, attaching importance to the development principle of adhering to quality-oriented and improving quality level, and promoting the development of facilitation, refinement and quality of living service industry. Pay attention to promoting the transformation of life consumption style from survival, tradition and materiality to development type, modern type and service type. Only when the concept changes, can various tasks be based and policies and measures be put in place. " Lin Nianxiu said.

Lin Nianxiu said: the living service industry has a wide range of areas and covers a wide range of areas, and the "guiding opinions" have selected 10 areas of residents and families, health, old-age care, tourism, sports, and culture as the focus of development. in each field, specific requirements for refinement and high quality are put forward according to reality.

"for example, in the field of residents and family services, the document proposes to guide family service enterprises to provide professional life services through multiple channels and formats, and to create a number of well-known family service brands. In the field of pension services, it is proposed to actively use network information technology to develop emergency calls, health counseling, goods purchasing and other services suitable for the elderly, and so on. " Lin Nianxiu said that by strengthening infrastructure construction, the relevant departments will enhance the level of automation, intelligence and interconnection of life service infrastructure, and use a sound and efficient infrastructure system to support the accelerated development and improvement of the quality of the living service industry.

Health, pension, tourism and other living service industries are highly market-oriented and competitive fields. How should the government define its role?

"A fundamental criterion is to follow the third Plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee to enable the market to play a decisive role in the allocation of resources and to give better play to the role of the government." Lin Nianxiu said: on the one hand, we should strengthen market leadership, fully stimulate and release the vitality of market subjects, and mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of market subjects; on the other hand, the government should give better play to its role in planning, policy guidance, market supervision, and so on. to create a good development environment for market subjects.

Lin Nianxiu said: in optimizing the development environment, it is necessary to do a good job in three "steps", that is, to further clarify and abolish regulations and practices that do not meet the new situation and new requirements, and to further deepen the reform of the investment and financing system. we will further promote the reform of the administrative examination and approval system and simplify the examination and approval process.

in improving the consumption environment, efforts should be made to do a good job in building integrity, supervision and inspection, and strict law enforcement, so as to create a good consumption environment for the broad masses.

"in infrastructure construction, we should increase investment, make up for shortcomings and raise the level." Lin Nianxiu said that the government should strengthen the transformation and upgrading of old urban infrastructure and make up for the shortcomings of rural life service infrastructure as soon as possible.

Lin Nianxiu also revealed that in terms of fiscal and tax policies, the living service industry will all implement "business reform and growth", and the government will innovate the use of financial funds and use market-oriented financing means such as equity investment and industrial funds. to support the development of living service industries. In terms of financial policy, qualified living service enterprises will be supported to list and raise funds and issue bonds, and financial institutions will be encouraged to carry out product innovation and service innovation. At the same time, we will further improve the price mechanism of living services, study and implement the commercial average electricity price as soon as possible, let service enterprises choose and implement it, and study and improve the pricing mechanism of bank card swiping fees as soon as possible. on the whole, we will reduce the expenses of credit card charges in catering and other industries.
