He also revealed that Chinese officials will steadily dispose of risks in the fields of real estate, finance, and local government debt this year. They will further strengthen economic monitoring and early warning, continuously enrich the policy toolboxes, and prepare for the situation of complex difficulties.

When the global demand has slowed the impact of China's trade exports, economists generally believe that the rapid recovery of domestic demand consumption is essential for China's economic recovery this year.

Li Chunlin, deputy director of the China Development and Reform Commission, answered the Lianhe Morning Post to ask questions at the press conference that China ’s consumption recovery has been accelerated since the beginning of the year.

Li Chunlin pointed out that during the Spring Festival this year, domestic tourism in China increased by 375.8 billion yuan and 308 million, respectively, an increase of 30 % and 23.1 % year -on -year, and resumed 73 % and 89 % of the same period in the same period in 2019, respectively.The revenue of the national consumer -related industries increased by 12.2 %, and the online retail sales of physical commodities in the country increased by 14.5 %.

Li Chunlin pointed out that some uncertain factors restricting consumption release are gradually eliminated. With the rapid release of consumption potential, the growth rate of the main indicators in the consumption field in the first half of this year is expected to gradually rise.It made greater contributions to the growth rate of about 5 % of GDP throughout the year.

He said that China will promote the steady growth of consumption, enhance the consumption power of residents, improve the consumption environment, and cultivate new consumption growth points, and promote the continuous recovery and expansion of consumption through multiple measures this year.

At the same time, the increase in the US dollar interest rate has also caused the passive depreciation of other currencies against the US dollar. The RMB exchange rate is affected.The scale is reduced when the scale is converted.
