Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy chairman of the China Development Research Foundation and famous economist, delivered a wonderful speech entitled "China's macroeconomic policy outlook". He said that to expand the domestic market, we need to start from the new reality, shift the investment of the old troika "manufacturing, infrastructure, and real estate" to the new troika "manufacturing, infrastructure, and service industry investment", and shift the investment center of the new troika to promote industrial transformation and upgrading and human capital upgrading.
Liu Shijin said that the overall base in 2022 is low. If the impact of the epidemic can be largely or completely shaken off in the first half of 2023, various measures to stabilize growth will be put into place, especially the reform and opening up will be strengthened, and the stability of expectations and confidence will gradually show effect, and the GDP growth rate may be higher than 5%.
Ma Guangyuan, a renowned economist, delivered a speech on the theme of "Outlook for China's Economic Situation in 2023".

His witty and humorous language style and insights won him a round of applause from the audience.
According to Ma Guangyuan, China's economy is likely to rebound in 2023, but it will not return to the past. China now urgently needs to introduce a $4 trillion consumption stimulus plan, including issuing consumption vouchers and giving cash to low-income households. Historical data shows that consumption voucher write-off rates around the world are in the range of 60%-70%, with associated consumption multiples of around 3.5-17 times, and consumption vouchers have a significant stimulating effect on consumption.
Zheng Min, chairman of Yibang Power and president of Yibang Think Tank, delivered a wonderful speech on the theme of "seeing the digital value of steel industry". He said that the profit and loss of the traditional steel trade mainly depends on luck. To achieve sustainable development, enterprises need to turn to the efficiency lever. By using the digital efficiency lever, they can seek new opportunities at both ends, reduce the cost of competition, and seek digital growth with the in-depth services of the supply chain.
