On the leaders of the Group of Twenty Seoul summit, Hu said leaders of the Group of Twenty summit to jointly cope with the international community an effective mechanism for the international financial crisis, to promote international economic cooperation and promote world economic recovery has played an important role. The world economy is slowly recovering, but foundation is not solid, the process is not balanced, there is a big uncertainty. Out of the shadow of the international financial crisis, and promote strong economic growth in the world still faces serious challenges. Will be held in Seoul, Korea should focus on the summit remain united and solve the international financial crisis caused by fundamental problems, the strengthening of world economic recovery. 4 major problems can be caught. First, continue a spirit of solidarity and the principle of mutual benefit to strengthen the macroeconomic policy coordination, issued to the market together the Group of Twenty members of the major challenges the world economy deal with the positive signal, boost market confidence, strengthening world economic recovery. Second, reform of the international financial system, strengthen the international financial market regulation, increase in emerging market countries and developing countries in international financial institutions, the voice and representation. Third, promote the settlement of North-South problem of uneven development, in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals to provide political support. Fourth, oppose protectionism, promote comprehensive and balanced Doha Round outcome of negotiations to achieve a development round goals. China is ready, including France, Portugal and other countries to jointly address the current challenges facing the international community to promote the world economy to achieve strong, sustainable and balanced growth.

Hu pointed out that the relevant parties need to correct the trade imbalance transformation of economic development and adjustment of economic structure, promoting fair trade and oppose protectionism in all forms. China's exchange rate policy is consistent and responsible. China has been steadily advancing the reform of RMB exchange rate formation mechanism. China will follow the initiative, controllability and gradual, we should improve the managed floating exchange rate system, market supply and demand play a greater role in enhancing the flexibility of RMB exchange rate to maintain a reasonable and balanced level in the basic stability. China's economy maintained steady and fast growth of world economic recovery and long-term development of great significance.

On China's development path and direction of development, Hu said the Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, created a splendid culture, modern times has experienced a tortuous history of the process difficult. 61 years of New China, especially the reform and opening up 32 years, the Chinese people united as one, work hard, have won worldwide recognition of the achievements of people's lives improved significantly. The results of hard-won struggle for self-improvement comes from the Chinese, from the reform and opening up, even from the Chinese people's choice is consistent with China's development path.

Hu emphasized that China's development is the development of human society, an important part of the process. China's development in France, Portugal and Europe are the opportunities. China will unswervingly follow the road of peaceful development, unswervingly follow a win-win opening strategy, continue to develop friendly cooperation with countries in the world, join hands to promote enduring peace, common prosperity and harmonious world. This is the Chinese government and people to make a strategic choice. This decision is based on China's national conditions, trend of the times, reflecting China's domestic policy and foreign policy unity. China respects the development path of all peoples to choose the right, non-interference in internal affairs, not to impose our own will, committed to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and pursuing a defensive national defense policy, and never seek hegemony and never engage in expansion.

International order on the construction of the 21st century, Hu said, the second 10 years of the 21st century is about to open, the fate of peoples is closely linked than ever before. States should take a broad mind and strategic vision to build mutual respect and mutual trust politically, mutual benefit and complementary economic relationship between the new countries, promote world multi-polarization and democratization of international relations.

Hu stressed that countries establish a win-win philosophy we advocate, the interests of their people with the common interests of all peoples to share the successful experience of a more open attitude towards cooperation. We call on all countries live in harmony, uphold mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination, the new security concept, with the peaceful settlement of disputes and maintaining world peace and stability. The international community, especially developed countries to increase support and assistance to developing countries to help developing countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals as soon as possible. Developing countries should strengthen dialogue and cooperation with developed countries, to expand global governance in developing countries in the representation, the establishment of a new global partnership for development. I believe that the joint efforts of the international community, in the 21st century will be peace, development and cooperation of the century.

On the cooperation of China and the Lusophone countries, Hu said, China - speaking countries since the establishment of economic and trade cooperation forum, China has become a contact and an important bridge speaking countries and the promotion of common development of all major platforms. In 2003, China - Lusophone Countries Economic Cooperation Forum was established, trade volume between China and the Lusophone countries, 110 million, in 2008 quickly grew to 77 billion U.S. dollars. January to August this year, trade volume between China and Lusophone countries, $ 58,580,000,000, an increase of 61%. I believe that this multilateral intergovernmental cooperation mechanism will enhance speaking countries such as China and Portugal, economic and trade cooperation.

China's 25 provincial GDP fell an average of 2.02%

2009-01-19T16:48:00.000-08:00

From 25 provinces in 2009 GDP target, the difficult situation even worse than in 2008

Both the developed economies, emerging economies, or resource-based economies, the current economic recession is a real sense of the global recession.

The same is true for China, both the coastal provinces, the central and western regions or provinces, autonomous regions, energy resources, both in the event of economic downturn, this is a real sense of national economic difficulties.

At present, the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) is being held two sessions, meetings have been held in 25 provinces, the provinces in his government work report in 2008 published the preliminary statistics of economic growth, and announced in 2009 the economic growth targets.

The author Statistics found that the preliminary statistical data has been published for 25 provinces, 22 provinces in 2007 than the GDP growth rate declined, a province with the same in 2007, two provincial high growth rate than 2007. Simple arithmetic calculation, 25 provincial GDP fell an average of 2.02 percentage points.

In addition, 25 provinces released by the breakdown of 2009 economic growth target, although in more than 8 percent, but 25 provinces do not have a goal established by the growth of more than 2008 high, only three provinces with the growth target for 2008 unchanged, and the remaining 22 the objectives of the province in 2008 than the growth rate low. Accumulated, the 25 provinces in 2009 the GDP growth target to reach the average fell 2.05 percentage point, which is even lower than in 2008 more serious decline.

These data tell us that the current economic downturn, China is a national decline, unlike some investment bank report points out, is a heavy impact on the eastern coast, the central and western regions less affected or even non-destructive situation.

Category observation data has been published for 25 provinces, Central Province, were all down 5, arithmetic average fell 1.92 percentage points; western figures of 10 provinces, autonomous regions, only the growth rate of Shaanxi Province in 2007 faster than the 0.6 percent, Qinghai and 2007 rate unchanged, other 8 provinces decreased, the average counts down 2.16 percentage points.

Not only that, but local governments in 2009 on the goals and expectations, showing that the central and western regions by the immense pressure. For example, data published in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hainan four provinces and cities, the growth rate in 2008 fell arithmetic average of 3.65 percentage points, and the expected decline in 2009 an average of only 1.45 percentage points. However, the central and western regions is different, 15 central and western provinces and autonomous regions in 2008 fell 1.75 percentage points on average, but is expected to decline in 2009 was an average of 2.11 percentage points. In other words, the central and western regions over the southeast coastal economic situation even more optimistic, perhaps because of, the central and western regions over-reliance on heavy industry, investment and other economic growth mode, and the southeast coast of urbanization can do more in exploring the basis of domestic demand and the tertiary industry growth potential.

But it is worth noting that, in China's statistical system, local statistical data regardless of the total GDP or growth, compared with the national GDP data have overestimated the larger, so simple data from the local provinces and municipalities can not determine the national economic specific data, but local data can help us better determine the trend.

For example, in the recent amendments to the National Bureau of Statistics before the 2007 national GDP is the total 24.66 trillion yuan, while the 31 provinces, autonomous regions statistical bulletin published by Canadian GDP data is always 27.36 trillion yuan, exceeding the 2.7 trillion yuan. Recently, the National in 2007 on the revised GDP data to 25.73 trillion yuan, but also lower than the provincial data accumulated 1.63 trillion yuan. In the GDP growth rate, the amendment before the National Bureau of Statistics released by the national GDP growth rate is 11.4 percent, but 31 provinces and autonomous regions nationwide provincial GDP growth rate of 11.4 percent in all above the lowest 12% of Xinjiang Autonomous Region, even on Amendment to 13%, the local publication of the growth rate is only 8 less than 13% of the province.

Is generally believed that the country's National Bureau of Statistics data and provinces and autonomous regions do not correspond to the accumulated data, the reasons for the statistical method is not only technically, means, and to repeat the question of statistics, there are places too much importance on the GDP growth rate to GDP for the political achievements, such as institutional issues .

These technologies or institutional reasons has not disappeared, but so far, 25 provinces reported lower in 2008, 2009 GDP growth data and goals, not only told us in 2008 the fact that national economic difficulties, but also notice the Chinese economy in 2009 will face a more severe situation.

From the current 25 provinces enacted in 2009 economic growth target, the arithmetic average, only 10% compared to this round of economic growth peak in 2007, when 31 provinces and even count the average growth rate reached 14.05 percent.

For individual provinces, such as coastal areas of Fujian Province, in 2007 GDP growth of 15.1 percent, in 2008 growth of 13 percent to preliminary statistics, down 2.1 percentage points in 2009 goal is 10 percent, continued to decline by 3 percentage points. Hubei Province in central region, 14.5 percent growth in 2007, 2008 growth of 13 percent to preliminary statistics, in 2009 growth target is 10 percent, continuous decline of 1.5 and 3 percentage points. The western region of Inner Mongolia, 19 percent growth in 2007, 2008 growth of 17.5% to preliminary statistics, in 2009 growth goal of 13 percent, respectively, down 1.5 and 4.5 percentage points. In addition, Guizhou, Shanxi clear in 2009 economic growth target is 8 percent.

Also needs to be emphasized is that all provinces, regions, published in 2009 economic growth target, or in anticipation of large scale investment in the foundation. From the regional economy have fallen sharply, and the future outlook is not optimistic, we can Humble Opinion on the overall situation of China's economic difficulties.

Analysis of industry experts pointed out that "the implementation of structural tax cuts" will become China's tax policies in 2009 a major bright spot.

Structural details of upcoming tax cuts

In the recently held national financial work conference, Finance Minister Xie Xuren said that this year will be the implementation of structural tax reduction policy, and clearly pointed out the structural tax cuts in 2009 to increase and tax relief.

According to Minister Xie Xuren, the tax relief this year are: continue to implement the waiver to levy savings deposits and securities transaction tax on interest income settlement funds to reduce the rate of stamp duty on securities transactions and impose unilateral policies; the implementation of housing transactions to reduce the revenue policy; adjust and perfect the export tax rebate tariff policy; unified停征cancellation and 100 administrative fees.

Persons connected with the Ministry of Finance to accept the "China Economic Weekly" said in an interview that, from the perspective of the tax, the current relatively clear gains tax cut policy is in transition, that is, by the growth of value-added tax to consumption-based.

VAT is the first big tax. The State Council decided from January 1, 2009 transition from the full implementation of value-added tax reform, to encourage enterprises to conduct technological transformation.

Industry analysts believe that this reform, where the majority of production enterprises, will directly reduce the additional fixed assets depreciation each extraction as well as enterprise management costs, value-added tax on companies to reduce expenses and increase profitability will have a positive impact.

"We now have a better value-added tax to emphasize that transformation, not only to optimize the tax structure, but also to make the tax system and the entire tax structure is more reasonable and more equitable, both for enterprises with high technical content, or relatively low technical content industry, the future alike a; but also to encourage those with high technical content of the enterprises in independent innovation and technological progress, which is bound to alleviate the burden of enterprises will be. "Ministry of Finance related to the" China Economic Weekly "analysis.

6000000000000 tax revenue is the basis of

Structural tax cuts, in a nutshell, is the "increases and decreases, the structural adjustment" of a tax reform program. "Structural tax" concept first appeared in the recently-concluded Central Economic Work Conference. Central Economic Work Conference stressed the need to greatly increase public spending, the protection of key areas and key construction spending to support the reconstruction of earthquake-stricken disaster recovery, the implementation of structural tax cuts, and optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure.

According to the experts, "structural tax" before the concept, the relevant tax reform and tax adjustments, collectively referred to as "structural adjustment" in the tax levels are maintained under the premise of the increases and decreases, while the "structure of tax cuts, "although also" increases and decreases, "but the overall level of tax burden dropped.

Academy of Social Sciences, deputy director of the Institute of Finance and Trade Gao Peiyong a recent interview with the media, said that the core content of structural tax reduction is, of course, tax cuts, but its behind with special meanings: First, the face of the global financial crisis, the current growth in the fundamental approach to security is to expand domestic demand, while expanding domestic demand is nothing more than financially by increasing government spending and reduce government tax revenue in two ways. Among them, in order to cut taxes to expand the residents and businesses in disposable income, thereby stimulating consumer demand and investment demand, with fundamental significance. Second, China's current tax structure is also a need to implement structural optimization of the important reasons for tax cuts.

Told reporters the industry analysis, structural tax cuts intended to reduce the tax burden from the volume level; mainly from optimization of tax structure, the service of economic growth and economic development to proceed the way the changing demands of its end-result is to reduce corporate and personal tax burden.

According to the Ministry of Finance estimated that January 1, 2009 to start the implementation of value-added tax reform is expected to reduce 120 billion yuan of fiscal revenue. At the same time, raising the export tax rebate rates also reduce the tax burden for businesses an important way. In the personal tax burden, the tax threshold is expected to further improve. If this tax at the same time several major tax cuts, state revenue is bound to be reduced accordingly.

"Implementation of structural and tax cuts, from this year, the value-added tax transformation will lead to a decrease in tax revenue, but to achieve a number of advantages: First, establishing a relatively good tax system; Second, a more equitable tax burden; Third, also reached in the near future to increase the business purpose of its own funds; more long term, or conducive to economic development, if development of the economy, ultimately will broaden the tax base, or at least will increase the tax base. "relevant parties to the Ministry of Finance told reporters optimistically.

"Now is not short of money Financial. China's tax rate is generally higher than the developed countries and some developing countries, to take this opportunity to cut down, so that the relative balance of the tax burden on businesses and future development of our country is perhaps a good thing." Academy of Social Sciences, the experts in finance and trade to the "China Economic Weekly" analysis.

U.S. "Forbes" magazine in 2007 had issued a "Global Tax Misery Index", the index shows that China's tax burden is second only to France, Belgium, ranked third in the world.

"It could perhaps be doubted whether such a 'burden' of the scientific ranking, but the reality of the public's tax burden is too high has been calling constantly. According to the Chinese tax status quo, go with the global tax trends and its impact, China should improve the tax system based on the modest tax cuts, select 'improving the tax system, a modest tax cut' policy of tax reform is bound to various aspects of the national economy will have a significant impact. "one of the industry told reporters that the tax burden should not too high, otherwise the enterprise the enthusiasm will be relatively poor, will weaken the vitality.

According to the Ministry of Finance Minister Xie Xuren in the national financial conference presentations, and in 2008 the overall revenue growth is expected to the country's financial revenues in 2008 will exceed 6 trillion yuan, an increase of 19%.

"The figure for the implementation of structural and tax cuts this year have laid a solid foundation. From the tax reform their own point of view, in the present context the introduction of some measures to optimize the tax structure is more suitable." Academy of Social Sciences, Finance and Trade, told reporters the experts analysis.

At present it is the best time for tax cuts

In November last year, China implemented a 4-year-old was finally out of sound fiscal policy "behind the scenes", expansionary fiscal policy (that is, the proactive fiscal policy) further step forward. State Administration of Taxation, deputy director of the original许善达pointed out that the expansionary fiscal policy should include two aspects, namely, investment and tax cuts.

The Asian crisis in 1998, China implemented a proactive fiscal policy, but only contains the contents of issuing treasury bonds, there is no tax cuts. Why should we in the crisis began to implement structural tax cuts?

Ministry of Finance director of the Institute of Fiscal Science Jia to the "China Economic Weekly" said that this round of fiscal policy and economic environment is very similar to 1998, but suffered greater external shocks. Fiscal policy in 2009 covering the central economic work conference stressed the security growth, expanding domestic demand, transfer the contents of the structure, but in fact there is to "promote reform" and so on.

According to the Academy of Social Sciences, finance and trade experts to "China Economic Weekly" analysis, in 1998 the proportion of tax revenue accounted for GDP is still relatively low, tax revenue was 122.5 billion yuan, accounting for the proportion of GDP to 11 percent, by reducing the stimulating effect on the economy is not too much; in recent years, the overall strength of China's tax revenue continued to increase. China's total tax revenue in 2007 nearly 5 trillion yuan, accounting for the proportion of GDP reached 22 percent, tax cuts to stimulate economic development will have an influence.

"Tax stimulus to the economy itself is assisted, if the volume is too small, or too low, to stimulate the economy of the role played by the even less. Therefore, at this time, implementation of structural and tax cuts, the timing is very good." The experts said.
