2015年CRI 李克强总理督促出台更多有效措施维护经济稳定

（单词翻译）

Premier¹ Li Keqiang voiced his full confidence in the overall development of China's economy.

"China's economy still boasts remarkable² tenacity³, potential and flexibility⁴. There is little doubt that China's potential for medium-high growth remains⁵ underpinned⁶ by strong, long-term fundamentals. The global economic recovery is full of twists and turns. China should push forward its own development with stronger confidence and greater efforts."

Economists⁷ and entrepreneurs at the meeting say China's economy has been stabilizing⁸ in the first half of the year.

However, they also point out there are still challenges and difficulties faced by enterprises.

The Executive Director of Sinolink Securities, Li Zhiping, gives more details.

"We see a decrease in the growth rate of all three sectors⁹, especially in investment and trade. The growth rate of the service industry is fine. So is that for consumption. The most important decline was in investment. Both investment and trade will see a 4 to 5 percent drop in growth rates, compared to the last quarter."

To meet the challenges, the government has intensified¹⁰ efforts to boost economic growth, especially in the investment field.

Meanwhile, it has increased fiscal¹¹ spending with the approval of a package of major infrastructure¹² projects.

As growth momentum¹³ within the Chinese economy struggles against downward pressure, Premier Li Keqiang notes the country needs to adopt a proactive fiscal policy and stable monetary¹⁴ policy, while maintaining a balance between growth and economic restructuring.

"We must adhere to the correct orientation¹⁵ of macro control, to stabilize¹⁶ growth, and promote structural¹⁷ reform. Risks will be absorbed and digested to ensure the economy runs within a reasonable range. We should not only give priority to GDP growth, but also promote development in growth, prices, employment, incomes and environmental protection."

Premier Li stresses that the very essence of economic upgrading and development lies in reform and innovation.

He has further called on enterprises to make full use of innovation, thus to enhance competitiveness in their respective markets.
