Making Progress While Maintaining Stability as the Guideline
On many occasions since the 18th CPC National Congress, at home and abroad, Xi Jinping has referred to making progress while maintaining stability as a guideline for the work of the government. At each session of the Central Economic Work Conference in the last few years, this has been set as the guideline for work to be carried out in the following year. At one such meeting in December 2016, this guideline was again emphasized as an important principle for the country’s governance and an effective approach to handling the economy.
As we pursue stability, we will focus on achieving steady economic performance, without sharp fluctuations in growth, employment, or prices, and without any regional or systemic risks in the financial sector. Stability is the principle that is important to our long-term goals. While maintaining stability, we need to make progress at the same time in key areas and to the extent that is possible.
When we make progress, we will focus on economic structural adjustment and further reform, to make progress in transforming our growth model and in innovation-driven development.
Stability and progress must happen at the same time in a stable economy and society, in order to create an environment for structural transformation and further reform. And substantive progress must be made in transformation and reform before we can expect positive and stable economic and social development.
