一财社论：消费驱动应当走出单纯刺激范式

Group 1 - The core viewpoint emphasizes that consolidating the trend of economic stabilization requires fundamentally changing people's perception of the relative prices of consumption and savings, rather than reverting to traditional investment-driven models or continuing to stimulate consumption [1][3]. - The current economic push requires addressing the shortcomings in consumption, as highlighted by the July CPI data showing a year-on-year growth of 0% and a core CPI increase of 0.8%, indicating marginal economic improvement [2][3]. - Experts argue that consumption-driven economic growth is not feasible, as stimulating consumption does not directly alter consumer preferences and demand elasticity without changing the relative prices of consumption and savings [2][3]. Group 2 - Economic stimulus policies have rarely focused on consumption, as the effectiveness of such policies depends on aligning the preferences of policymakers and consumers to realize the multiplier effect of consumption [3][4]. - The need for social security and healthcare reforms is urgent to stabilize people's future uncertainties, which can be achieved through tax reforms and enhancing the pension system [4]. - Market-oriented reforms and the establishment of a unified national market are essential to provide more freedom for market participants, which can lead to improved investment returns and economic stability [4][5]. Group 3 - These reforms are expected to significantly alter the demand elasticity of the economy, making consumption a true driving force for economic growth [5]. - The government should shift towards a governance model focused on public services to create a fair competitive economic order, allowing collective intelligence from market participants to emerge and drive economic progress [6].
