Representatives from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Ministry of Finance, and People's Bank of China detailed coordinated measures aimed at stabilizing markets and reigniting economic growth in the post-pandemic era.
Li Chunlin, NDRC Vice Chairman, emphasized the government's three-pronged approach: “Through strategic fiscal support, targeted employment programs, and optimized market regulations, we aim to create sustainable consumption growth that benefits both enterprises and households.”
Policy Highlights
Officials announced multiple initiatives including:
- Expanded digital payment infrastructure development
- Tax incentives for high-tech consumer goods manufacturing

Key Objectives
