建设全国统一大市场：意义、进展与挑战

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a national unified market in China is entering a new phase, aiming to accelerate the integration of various regions and departments into this framework, which is crucial for promoting domestic circulation and economic growth [2][4]. Group 1: National Unified Market Construction - The "Guidelines for the Construction of a National Unified Market" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission in January 2025 marks a significant step towards this goal [2][6]. - The construction of a national unified market is seen as a fundamental measure to facilitate the dual circulation development pattern, which emphasizes domestic circulation as the mainstay [4][5]. - The central government has outlined six specific tasks to achieve this, including unifying market rules, enhancing infrastructure connectivity, and promoting fair competition [5][6]. Group 2: Challenges and Recommendations - The biggest challenge to the national unified market construction is the mismatch between local government performance evaluation systems and the needs of this initiative, which currently prioritize local economic indicators [9]. - Recommendations include adjusting the weight of local GDP growth metrics and enhancing the importance of market-oriented pricing and cross-regional flow indicators in performance assessments [9]. Group 3: Future Outlook - If barriers to the free flow of factors are removed, there is potential for accelerated regional integration, particularly in areas like the Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei [10]. - This could lead to the formation of a "dual goose formation" model, enhancing China's economic growth and promoting a positive interaction between domestic and international markets [10].
