China will roll out a series of well-targeted policy measures aimed at shifting the focus of consumption from post-pandemic recovery to sustainable expansion, so as to stimulate domestic demand, boost consumer confidence and drive long-term economic growth, officials and experts said.

官員和專家表示，中國將出臺一系列針對性強的政策措施，推動消費從疫后恢復轉(zhuǎn)向持續(xù)擴大，從而刺激內(nèi)需、增強消費者信心、推動經(jīng)濟長期增長。

The significant contribution of consumption to economic expansion, accounting for 82.5 percent, had solidified its role as a primary driver of growth last year, said Sheng Qiuping, vice-minister of commerce, at a news conference on Tuesday.

商務部副部長盛秋平2月6日在新聞發(fā)布會上表示，消費對經(jīng)濟增長貢獻率達到了82.5%，基礎性作用不斷增強。

China's total retail sales of consumer goods, a major indicator of the country's consumption strength, climbed 7.2 percent year-on-year to reach 47.1 trillion yuan in 2023, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics.

國家統(tǒng)計局的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2023年全年社會消費品零售總額47.1萬億元，同比增長7.2%。社會消費品零售總額是衡量國內(nèi)消費水平的重要指標。

Going forward, the country is targeting the stabilization and expansion of traditional consumption sectors that are closely related to people's daily lives, Sheng said, adding the key areas of focus include automobiles, appliances and home furnishings.

盛秋平表示，接下來，國家將穩(wěn)定和擴大傳統(tǒng)消費。汽車、家電、家居是傳統(tǒng)消費的重點，與百姓生活密切相關。

Big-ticket items such as automobiles have emerged as a crucial pillar supporting the country's domestic consumption, said Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the China Association of Policy Science's Economic Policy Committee.

In addition, new forms of consumption, characterized by green, healthy and smart choices, have flourished and become a key dynamo driving consumption growth, said Sheng.

盛秋平表示，近年來，以綠色、健康、智能等為代表的新型消費蓬勃發(fā)展，成為消費增長的重要引擎。

While the new consumption sector continues to thrive, issues like regional disparities, inadequate infrastructure and lagging public services have come to the fore, said Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy.

國研新經(jīng)濟研究院創(chuàng)始院長朱克力指出，在新型消費領域持續(xù)繁榮的同時，地區(qū)差異、基礎設施不完善、公共服務滯后等問題逐漸顯現(xiàn)出來。

In addition, a mismatch between policy supply and actual development needs, and the need for optimization of the business environment are key areas that require attention, Zhu said, adding that more government support will be needed to address these challenges.

此外，朱克力指出，政策供給與實際發(fā)展需求不匹配，營商環(huán)境的優(yōu)化需求，這些都是需要關注的重點領域，而應對這些挑戰(zhàn)需要更多的政府支持。

China will also set its sights on expanding service consumption as a key priority to optimize and upgrade its consumption structure, aiming to foster improved living standards and enhance people's overall well-being.

我國還將擴大服務消費。服務消費與民生福祉緊密相關，是消費結構優(yōu)化升級的重點方向。
