新冠肺炎疫情的冲击对我国经济的供需两侧、就业、物价水平、部分行业及中小企业运行都带来了重大影响,使经济面临下行风险,许多领域的后续发展存在不确定性。为此,应坚持推动2019年中央经济工作会议关于促进消费的战略性决议的落实,发挥消费在转变经济增长模式、优化产业结构、提升人民生活水平等方面的积极意义,以财政政策、货币政策、物价政策、信贷手段等方式支持公共消费与居民消费的扩大,从而保障我国经济增长的可持续性。

At present,the COVID-19 pandemic has exerted a major impact on the supply and demand of the Chinese economy,employment,price level as well as the operation of some industries and small and medium-sized enterprises.The Chinese economy is facing downward pressure and uncertainties remain for the further development of many fields.Therefore,we should implement the strategic decision of the Central Economic Work Conference on promoting consumption and allow consumption to play a positive role in transforming the mode of economic development,optimizing industrial structure and improving people's livelihood.Fiscal and monetary policies,price and credit regulations and other measures should be utilized to support the expansion of public spending and private consumption,so as to ensure the sustainability of China's economic growth.
