做好今年政府工作，要把握好以下三點。
　　To deliver a good performance in the work of the government this year, we need to concentrate on the following three areas:

　　第一，穩定和完善宏觀經濟政策。
　　First, we need to ensure continuity in and make improvements to macroeconomic policies.

　　繼續實施積極的財政政策和穩健的貨幣政策，更加注重預調微調，更加注重定向調控，用好增量，盤活存量，重點支持薄弱環節。以微觀活力支撐宏觀穩定，以供給創新帶動需求擴大，以結構調整促進總量平衡，確保經濟運行在合理區間。
　　We will continue to implement proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy. We will pay greater attention to anticipatory adjustments, fine-tuning, and targeted regulation. We will put both existing and additional financial resources to good use, focusing particularly on strengthening weak spots. We will improve micro-level vitality to underpin macroeconomic stability, explore new ways of achieving supply to boost demand, and balance total supply and demand through structural adjustments to ensure the economy performs within an appropriate range.

　　積極的財政政策要加力增效。今年擬安排財政赤字1.62萬億元，比去年增加2700億元，赤字率從去年的2.1%提高到2.3%。其中，中央財政赤字1.12萬億元，增加1700億元；地方財政赤字5000億元，增加1000億元。處理好債務管理與穩增長的關系，創新和完善地方政府舉債融資機制。適當發行專項債券。保障符合條件的在建項目后續融資，防范和化解風險隱患。優化財政支出結構，大力盤活存量資金，提高使用效率。繼續實行結構性減稅和普遍性降費，進一步減輕企業特別是小微企業負擔。
　　Our proactive fiscal policy must sustain the momentum of economic growth and increase economic returns. The government budget deficit for 2015 is projected to be 1.62 trillion yuan, an increase of 270 billion yuan over last year, which means that the deficit to GDP ratio will rise from last year's 2.1% to 2.3%. Of this amount, the central government deficit will account for 1.12 trillion yuan, an increase of 170 billion yuan, and local government deficit will account for 500 billion yuan, an increase of 100 billion yuan. We need to find the right balance between managing debt and maintaining steady growth. We will develop and improve mechanisms for local governments to secure financing through bond issuance. We will allow local governments to issue an appropriate amount of special bonds, ensure continued financing for eligible projects already under construction, and guard against and defuse risks and latent dangers. We will improve the mix of budgetary spending, redouble our efforts to put government funds on hand into use, and strengthen the effectiveness of government spending. We will continue to make structural tax reductions and cut fees across the board so as to further lighten the burden on enterprises, particularly small and micro businesses.

　　穩健的貨幣政策要松緊適度。廣義貨幣M2預期增長12%左右，在實際執行中，根據經濟發展需要，也可以略高些。加強和改善宏觀審慎管理，靈活運用公開市場操作、利率、存款準備金率、再貸款等貨幣政策工具，保持貨幣信貸和社會融資規模平穩增長。加快資金周轉，優化信貸結構，提高直接融資比重，降低社會融資成本，讓更多的金融活水流向實體經濟。
　　We will pursue prudent and balanced monetary policy. The M2 money supply is forecasted to grow by around 12% in 2015, but the actual supply may be slightly higher than this projection depending on the needs of economic development. We will work to strengthen and improve macro-prudential regulation, adopt a flexible approach in our use of monetary policy tools including open market operations, interest rates, required reserve ratios, and re-lending, and maintain steady growth in the supply of money and credit as well as aggregate financing in the economy. We will speed up the turnover of funds, improve the credit structure, increase the proportion of direct financing to total financing, and reduce the cost of financing, thereby allowing more financial resources to be channeled into the real economy.

　　第二，保持穩增長與調結構的平衡。
　　Second, we need to maintain a proper balance between ensuring steady growth and making structural adjustments.

　　我國發展面臨“三期疊加”矛盾，資源環境約束加大，勞動力等要素成本上升，高投入、高消耗、偏重數量擴張的發展方式已經難以為繼，必須推動經濟在穩定增長中優化結構。既要穩住速度，確保經濟平穩運行，確保居民就業和收入持續增加，為調結構轉方式創造有利條件；
　　In its current stage of development, China has to deal simultaneously with the slowdown in economic growth, making difficult structural adjustments, and absorbing the effects of previous economic stimulus policies. As resource-related and environmental constraints grow and costs for labor and other factors of production rise, a model of development that draws on high levels of investment and energy consumption and is heavily driven by quantitative expansion becomes difficult to sustain. We must therefore improve the economic structure while ensuring steady growth. The growth rate must be kept steady to ensure that economic performance is stable, and that employment and personal incomes carry on increasing, thus creating a favorable environment for making structural adjustments and transforming the growth model.

　　又要調整結構，夯實穩增長的基礎。要增加研發投入，提高全要素生產率，加強質量、標準和品牌建設，促進服務業和戰略性新興產業比重提高、水平提升，優化經濟發展空間格局，加快培育新的增長點和增長極，實現在發展中升級、在升級中發展。
　　At the same time, structural adjustments must be made to consolidate the foundation for ensuring steady growth. We need to increase research and development spending, raise total factor productivity, improve quality, standards, and brand-building, strengthen the service sector and strategic emerging industries and increase their share of the economy, improve the overall structure of economic growth, and work harder to foster new areas of growth and growth poles. With these efforts, we can ensure that economic upgrading and development reinforce each other.

　　第三，培育和催生經濟社會發展新動力。
　　Third, we need to nurture and hasten the birth of a new force for driving economic and social development.

　　當前經濟增長的傳統動力減弱，必須加大結構性改革力度，加快實施創新驅動發展戰略，改造傳統引擎，打造新引擎。
　　As the force that has traditionally driven economic growth is weakening, it is imperative that we intensify structural reform, boost efforts to implement the strategy of pursuing innovation-driven development, and upgrade traditional engines while creating new ones for driving development.

　　一方面，增加公共產品和服務供給，加大政府對教育、衛生等的投入，鼓勵社會參與，提高供給效率。這既能補短板、惠民生，也有利于擴需求、促發展。
　　We will increase the supply of public goods and services, increase government input in areas like education and health care, and encourage nongovernmental participation to improve the efficiency of supply. This will bolster weak spots and benefit the people, as well as increase demand and promote development.

　　另一方面，推動大眾創業、萬眾創新。這既可以擴大就業、增加居民收入，又有利于促進社會縱向流動和公平正義。
　　At the same time, we will also encourage people to start their own businesses and to make innovations, which will not only create more jobs and increase personal incomes, but also improve upwards social mobility and social equity and justice.

　　我國有13億人口、9億勞動力資源，人民勤勞而智慧，蘊藏著無窮的創造力，千千萬萬個市場細胞活躍起來，必將匯聚成發展的巨大動能，一定能夠頂住經濟下行壓力，讓中國經濟始終充滿勃勃生機。政府要勇于自我革命，給市場和社會留足空間，為公平競爭搭好舞臺。個人和企業要勇于創業創新，全社會要厚植創業創新文化，讓人們在創造財富的過程中，更好地實現精神追求和自身價值。
　　China has a population of 1.3 billion and a workforce of 900 million. Our people are hardworking and talented, and there is no limit to their ingenuity. When an abundance of market cells spring into life, they will form a mighty driving force for development, ensuring China's economy remains resilient in spite of the downward pressure on it, and continues to be full of life and dynamism. The government should be bold in imposing a reform on itself so as to leave ample space for the market and society to play their respective roles and level the playing field for fair competition. Individuals and enterprises must have the mettle to promote their business development and make innovations, and our society needs to nurture a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. In this way, while creating wealth, people will be able to meet their cultural and intellectual needs and realize their full potential in life.

　　今年是“十二五”收官之年，我們要在完成“十二五”經濟社會發展主要目標任務的同時，以改革的精神、創新的理念和科學的方法，做好“十三五”規劃綱要編制工作，謀劃好未來五年的發展藍圖。
　　This year is the final year for completing the 12th Five-Year Plan. As we strive to accomplish the major tasks and objectives for economic and social development set forth in this plan, we need to formulate the 13th Five-Year Plan, bringing to this work the spirit of reform and innovation and adopting a scientific approach.

　　三、把改革開放扎實推向縱深
　　III. Deepening Reform and Opening Up

　　改革開放是推動發展的制勝法寶。必須以經濟體制改革為重點全面深化改革，統籌兼顧，真抓實干，在牽動全局的改革上取得新突破，增強發展新動能。
　　Reform and opening up is crucial for driving development. We must focus on economic structural reform as we comprehensively deepen reform, taking all things into consideration in planning, working solidly to deliver concrete outcomes, making new breakthroughs in areas that can boost development as a whole, and strengthening new momentum to drive development.

　　加大簡政放權、放管結合改革力度。
　　We will do more to streamline administration and delegate more powers to lower-level governments and to society in general while improving regulation.

　　今年再取消和下放一批行政審批事項，全部取消非行政許可審批，建立規范行政審批的管理制度。深化商事制度改革，進一步簡化注冊資本登記，逐步實現“三證合一”，清理規范中介服務。制定市場準入負面清單，公布省級政府權力清單、責任清單，切實做到法無授權不可為、法定職責必須為。
　　This year, we will delegate the power or cancel the requirement for government review for more items, cancel all non-administrative review, and establish a system for exercising well-regulated management over the government review process. We will deepen reform of the business system; further simplify the process for capital registration; take gradual steps to integrate the business license, the certificate of organization codes, and the certificate of taxation registration into one certificate; and overhaul and regulate intermediary services. We will draw up a negative list for market access, ensure that provincial-level governments make their lists of powers and responsibilities open to the public, and make sure that anything the law does not authorize is not done, while all duties and functions assigned by law are performed.

　　地方政府對應當放給市場和社會的權力，要徹底放、不截留，對上級下放的審批事項，要接得住、管得好。加強事中事后監管，健全為企業和社會服務一張網，推進社會信用體系建設，建立全國統一的社會信用代碼制度和信用信息共享交換平臺，依法保護企業和個人信息安全。
　　Local governments must completely let go of powers that should be delegated to the market or society, and properly exercise the power of review over all items that have been delegated to them by higher-level governments. We will exercise stronger oversight both during and after the handling of matters, and improve the network of services for both enterprises and the general public. We will work to improve the credit rating system, put in place a national unified system of codes for rating credit, and establish a platform for sharing and exchanging information on credit. We will, in accordance with the law, protect the information security of enterprises and individuals.

　　大道至簡，有權不可任性。各級政府都要建立簡政放權、轉變職能的有力推進機制，給企業松綁，為創業提供便利，營造公平競爭環境。所有行政審批事項都要簡化程序，明確時限，用政府權力的“減法”，換取市場活力的“乘法”。
　　It goes without saying that powers should not be held without good reason. Governments at all levels need to adopt effective ways to streamline administration, delegate powers, and transform their functions, creating an enabling environment for enterprises, making it easier to start up in business, and creating the right environment for fair competition. Procedures and processes must be simplified and time frames must be clarified for all items requiring administrative review, and cuts to government power will be made to boost market vitality.

　　多管齊下改革投融資體制。
　　We will take multiple measures to reform the investment and financing systems.

　　大幅縮減政府核準投資項目范圍，下放核準權限。大幅減少投資項目前置審批，實行項目核準網上并聯辦理。大幅放寬民間投資市場準入，鼓勵社會資本發起設立股權投資基金。政府采取投資補助、資本金注入、設立基金等辦法，引導社會資本投入重點項目。以用好鐵路發展基金為抓手，深化鐵路投融資改革。在基礎設施、公用事業等領域，積極推廣政府和社會資本合作模式。
　　We will substantially reduce the number of investment projects that require government review, delegate more powers of review to lower-level governments, significantly streamline the need for preliminary review for investment projects, and conduct project reviews online. We will greatly relax market access for private investment and encourage the use of private capital to set up equity funds. The government will guide nongovernmental investments toward key projects by subsidizing investments, injecting capital, and establishing funds. We will deepen reform of railway investment and financing by making good use of railway development funds. We will actively promote models of cooperation between government and nongovernmental capital in developing infrastructure and public utilities.

　　不失時機加快價格改革。
　　We will take timely action to accelerate price reform.

　　改革方向是發揮市場在資源配置中的決定性作用，大幅縮減政府定價種類和項目，具備競爭條件的商品和服務價格原則上都要放開。取消絕大部分藥品政府定價，下放一批基本公共服務收費定價權。
　　This reform is aimed at ensuring the market plays the decisive role in allocating resources and significantly reducing the number of categories and items of goods and services for which prices are set by the government. In principle, we will lift pricing controls over all goods and services that can viably compete in markets. The government will stop setting prices for most pharmaceuticals and delegate to lower-level governments the power to set prices for certain basic public services.

　　擴大輸配電價改革試點，推進農業水價改革，健全節能環保價格政策。完善資源性產品價格，全面實行居民階梯價格制度。同時必須加強價格監管，規范市場秩序，確保低收入群眾基本生活。
　　We will expand the trials of pricing reforms for electricity transmission and distribution, carry out pricing reforms for water used in agriculture, and improve pricing policies to make them more conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection. We will improve the pricing of resource products and fully implement a system of tiered pricing for electricity, water, and natural gas used for household purposes. At the same time, we must strengthen oversight over pricing, improve market order, and ensure the basic living standards of people on low incomes.
