"We should remain confident about economic restructuring as the growth rate enters the new normal. Slower development means higher-quality expansion, and the external headwinds from the sluggish global economy will increase uncertainty about domestic growth. Without the property industry, the Chinese economy would lack pulling power. The country should continue to develop the property sector, loosen the home-purchase policies, and offer more affordable and low-priced housing. The country must create new markets to spur consumption and stabilize growth when structural reform deepens." “随着经济增速进入新常态，我们对深化经济改革要有信心。当前经济下行和前一阶段的经济增长质量有关。近年来，全球经济环境复杂多变，也增加了国内经济发展的不确定性。没有房地产带动，经济增长拉力不够。要继续发展房地产、放宽购房政策、加大廉租房与平价房建设。随着经济改革的深化发展，也要创造新的市场来刺激消费，稳定增长。” Li Yining, a renowned economist at Peking University 厉以宁，北京大学著名经济学家 "The quality of economic growth is what really matters, rather than the quantitative rise in GDP. As a growth target, I think 7 percent is achievable in 2017 because it allows room for a wide range of policies and measures to stimulate growth. However, to achieve high-quality growth requires much more. High-quality economic growth means the economy is driven by new points of growth rather than old ones, and an improving economic structure will support it. Consumption needs to keep rising. The percentage of disposable income in GDP and the number of new jobs created also need to rise to ensure high-quality growth." |
