A reporter asked: Recently, institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Asian Development Bank have raised their economic growth expectations for China in 2025 by 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 percentage points respectively. Many institutions have stated that despite the impact, the Chinese economy has shown significant resilience. Some foreign media have compared China to an "oasis of certainty" in an uncertain international environment. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Guo Jiakun: "Optimistic about China" is increasingly becoming a consensus among all parties. The heads of international economic organizations attending the "1+10" dialogue meeting stated that over the past year, China's economy has continued to grow steadily, making a significant contribution to global economic growth. The intensive raising of economic growth expectations by international institutions once again shows that the trend of betting on China is becoming stronger.
The Central Economic Work Conference has just been successfully held, determining eight key tasks for next year's economic work, including adhering to domestic demand leadership, building a strong domestic market, adhering to opening up, and promoting win-win cooperation in multiple fields. This provides a direction for China's economy and offers the world a stable expectation, innovation power, and a list of opportunities. The "14th Five-Year Plan" of China will soon be launched, and the stability of China's policies, the stability of economic growth, and the stability of development expectations will continue to be released, injecting rare certainty into the world.
China's new quality productive forces will flourish, and Chinese manufacturing is increasingly high-end, intelligent, and green. China's innovative momentum leads global innovation cooperation, reduces the cost of new technologies, and promotes sustainable development.
China's high-level opening will be further advanced. We are steadily expanding institutional opening, safeguarding the multilateral trading system, and using opening-up to promote reform and development. China's door of openness will continue to open wider.
In an uncertain world, China is the largest source of certainty and will continue to be an important engine for global growth. Welcome countries to ride the fast train of China's development, share the vast Chinese market, and achieve mutual success and common development through interest integration. (End)
