张军扩：释放消费潜力要长短兼顾 标本兼治

Core Viewpoint - The need for structural countermeasures to effectively release the potential of consumer demand during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period is emphasized by Zhang Junkuo, highlighting the importance of both short-term and long-term strategies in expanding domestic demand [1][2]. Group 1: Domestic Demand Expansion Policies - The expansion of domestic demand has been a key focus for the government, with extensive policies implemented at both central and local levels, particularly in the current year [1]. - The range and intensity of policies aimed at expanding domestic demand this year are noted to be among the most significant in recent years, contributing positively to achieving development goals [1]. - There is a notable contradiction between insufficient market demand and strong supply, indicating a need for further action [1]. Group 2: Structural Countermeasures - Structural countermeasures are necessary to stimulate consumer demand, including counter-cyclical consumption policies that optimize the support for commodity consumption and enhance service consumption [2]. - Investment in human capital is highlighted, with a focus on addressing urgent issues in education, healthcare, elderly care, and childbirth through increased subsidies to boost consumer willingness and capacity [2]. - Effective implementation of a resident income increase plan is essential, particularly for low-income groups, to enhance social security and public service levels, thereby improving consumer confidence [2]. Group 3: Supply-Side Policies - Strengthening supply-side policies is crucial, which includes reducing entry restrictions, optimizing regulatory policies, and enhancing domestic standards and brand development to expand the supply of quality services [2]. - The potential for investment remains significant, whether in physical assets or human capital, provided that appropriate institutional and policy environments are established [2]. - Investment is expected to continue being a vital force for growth during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, contingent on the right support systems being in place [2].
