The relevant responsible comrades of the Central Finance Office explained in detail the spirit of the 2023 Central Economic Work Conference, saying that China's economic operation this year is characterized by "one high, one low and two flat", and the main expected goals are expected to be successfully achieved. Some institutions, experts, and scholars predict that the annual economic growth will be about 5.2 percent, and the GDP will exceed 126 trillion yuan. Prudent monetary policies should be flexible, moderate, precise and effective. The previous "nominal economic growth rate" should be changed to "the expected target of economic growth and price level," so that the target requirements of economic growth and price level can be better coordinated, and the price level will be emphasized as an important regulation and control target of monetary policy; and the coordination and cooperation of fiscal, monetary, employment, industrial, regional, science and technology, and environmental protection policies will be strengthened to ensure that efforts are made in the same direction and a joint force is formed. For example, fiscal policy and monetary policy should be strengthened in terms of the progress of debt reduction, replenishment of bank capital, and issuance of government bonds.

In the next step, on the basis of the implementation of the existing measures, it is worth looking forward to expecting how the structural tax reduction will further support the development of scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing industry. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that "a new round of reform of the fiscal and taxation system should be planned." It is necessary to consider tax reduction and fee reduction in the reform of the tax system, improve the level of institutionalization, optimize the tax structure, and further stabilize market expectations. Through the coordinated efforts of fiscal, monetary, employment, industrial and other macroeconomic policies, the economic rebound will be further consolidated and strengthened.
