Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that China's economy shows strong resilience overall, but there are significant issues with supply exceeding demand, leading to challenges for business development [1] - The Central Economic Work Conference has prioritized expanding domestic demand, emphasizing the need to build a strong domestic market [2] Group 2 - Zhang Junkuo highlighted the importance of addressing both short-term and long-term structural issues to effectively release consumer potential, noting that demand insufficiency is influenced by both short-term market fluctuations and deeper structural factors [3] - He emphasized the need for short-term stimulus policies to interrupt negative cycles while also addressing deeper issues to stabilize economic growth [4] Group 3 - Zhang pointed out that the structural reasons for low consumer spending include a long-term low consumption rate, estimated to be 10% to 20% below potential, primarily due to the relatively low share of household income in national income and inadequate social security [6] - He proposed that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, structural measures should be prioritized to effectively release consumer demand, including counter-cyclical consumption stimulus policies and increased support for service consumption [6] Group 4 - Zhang also stressed the need to implement a resident income increase plan effectively, with a focus on enhancing social security and public services for low-income groups to boost consumer confidence [7] - Additionally, he called for increased supply-side policy efforts, such as reducing entry restrictions and optimizing regulatory policies to expand the supply of quality services [7]

Core Viewpoint - The current market faces insufficient demand, characterized by strong supply and weak demand, leading to price weakness. Effective release of consumer demand potential requires both short-term and long-term strategies to address structural issues [1][6]. Group 1: Demand and Consumption - Structural reasons for insufficient demand include a long-term low consumption rate, estimated to be 10% to 20% below potential. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for expanding domestic demand [2][7]. - The transition in consumer behavior from goods-oriented consumption to a balance of goods and services requires adjustments in economic structure and development methods, necessitating both government and market involvement [1][6]. Group 2: Policy Recommendations - To stimulate consumption, policies should focus on counter-cyclical measures that optimize the support structure for goods consumption while enhancing support for service consumption. This includes increasing subsidies for education, healthcare, and other essential services to boost consumer willingness and capacity [3][8]. - Implementing a plan to increase residents' income and improving social security for low-income groups are crucial for enhancing consumer confidence and security [3][8]. Group 3: Investment Opportunities - There remains significant potential for investment, which should be supported by systemic and policy innovations. While consumer demand is essential for economic growth, investment should not be neglected [4][9]. - Key areas for investment during the "14th Five-Year Plan" include developing new urban and real estate models and boosting private and foreign investment through improved business environments and regulatory reforms [4][9].

Group 1: Demand and Consumption - Structural reasons for insufficient demand include a long-term low consumption rate, estimated to be 10% to 20% below potential. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for expanding domestic demand [2][7]. - The transition of consumer behavior from goods-oriented to a balance of goods and services consumption necessitates a dual approach to stimulate demand and optimize economic structure [1][6]. Group 2: Policy Recommendations - Implement counter-cyclical consumption demand stimulus policies that optimize the support structure for goods consumption while increasing support for service consumption. This includes addressing urgent public needs in education, healthcare, and social security to enhance consumer willingness and capacity [3][8]. - Effectively execute a plan to increase residents' income and improve social security and public service levels for low-income groups, thereby boosting consumer confidence and security expectations [3][8]. Group 3: Investment Opportunities - There remains significant potential for investment, which should be supported through institutional and policy innovations. While consumer demand is crucial for economic growth, investment should not be neglected [4][9]. - Key focus areas for expanding effective investment during the "14th Five-Year Plan" include developing new urban and real estate models and boosting private and foreign investment through improved business environments and reforms [4][9].
