Free AccessMNI POLICY: China Says 3.6% Deficit Ratio Feasible, Necessary
By Wanxia Lin
BEIJING (MNI) - China said its planned record hike of deficit and selling
of a special bond are feasible policies necessary to stabilize its economy after
the coronavirus outbreak.
The 3.6% deficit/GDP ratio adopted this year is lower than the global
average of about 10% as governments raise debt to deal with the pandemic, Cong
Liang, secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission
(NDRC), said at a briefing on Sunday. Deficit was planned to be no more than
2.8% last year.
China's debt-to-GDP ratio was 38.5% by the end of 2019, below that of major
developed and emerging economies, Cong said.
China should promote a reasonable debt investment and form effective assets
to boost national assets, said Vice Chairman Ning Jizhe. National assets stands
at CNY1,302 trillion, he said.
Here are other key points:
- This year is the fourth that China skipped an annual growth target since
the reform began in the late 1970s: China also didn't have a formal growth
target in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
- China added 3.54 million urban jobs in the first four months. The target
of adding 9 million new jobs this year will largely tilt to colleague graduates
and ex-servicemen, while also covering some migrant workers.
- Over 90% of migrant workers have returned to work, and their incomes will
continue to increase as the economy recovers.
- Consumption will further improve in May with some delayed essential
purchases to be made up.
