Chinese leader Xi Jinping has publicly outlined strategic priorities for the nation's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP), a blueprint guiding economic and social development from 2026 to 2030. The explanatory remarks, delivered at the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, emphasize innovation-driven growth and sustainable development as core pillars of China's modernization agenda.
While full details of the plan remain under deliberation, analysts note the document signals continued focus on technological self-reliance, green energy transitions, and high-quality development. The plan is expected to address emerging challenges in global supply chains while strengthening domestic consumption mechanisms.
Business leaders anticipate the 15th FYP will create new opportunities in renewable energy infrastructure and advanced manufacturing sectors. Academic observers highlight potential implications for Asia's economic integration, particularly through regional connectivity initiatives.
The plan's formulation comes as China navigates complex global economic headwinds, with policymakers emphasizing stability through structural reforms. Social development targets are expected to feature prominently, building on previous FYPs' poverty alleviation and rural revitalization achievements.
