实现经济社会发展的目标和任务，需要把握以下原则：坚持稳中求进，促进经济平稳较快发展；坚持好字优先，加快转变经济发展方式；坚持改革开放，注重推进制度建设和创新；坚持以人为本，加快以改善民生为重点的社会建设。今年经济工作，，要把防止经济增长由偏快转为过热、防止价格由结构性上涨演变为明显通货膨胀作为宏观调控的首要任务；鉴于当前国内外经济形势发展的不确定因素较多，要密切跟踪分析新情况新问题，审时度势，从实际出发，及时灵活地采取相应对策，正确把握宏观调控的节奏、重点和力度，保持经济平稳较快发展，避免出现大的起落。

To attain the targets and accomplish the tasks for this year's economic and social development, we must adhere to the following principles: we must make progress while maintaining stability and aim for fast yet steady economic development. We must give priority to the quality rather than speed of development and accelerate improvement in the pattern of economic development. We must pursue reform and opening up and attach great importance to promoting institutional improvements and innovations. We must put people first and accelerate social development, with the focus on improving people's lives. The primary task for macroeconomic regulation this year is to prevent fast economic growth from becoming overheated growth and keep structural price increases from turning into significant inflation. There are quite a few uncertainties in the current economic situation at home and abroad, so we need to keep close track of new developments and problems, properly size up situations and take prompt and flexible measures to respond to them while keeping our feet firmly rooted in reality. We need to maintain the appropriate pace, focus and intensity of macroeconomic regulation to sustain steady and fast economic development and avoid drastic fluctuations in the economy.

今年要着重抓好以下九个方面工作：

We need to concentrate on the following nine tasks this year:

（一）搞好宏观调控，保持经济平稳较快发展

1. Improving macroeconomic regulation to maintain fast yet steady economic development.

根据国内外经济形势和宏观调控任务的要求，今年要实行稳健的财政政策和从紧的货币政策。

In view of the current domestic and international economic situation we need to follow a prudent fiscal policy and a tight monetary policy this year to accomplish the tasks for macroeconomic regulation.

继续实行稳健的财政政策，就是要保持财政政策的连续性和稳定性，充分发挥财政促进结构调整和协调发展的重要作用，增加对薄弱环节、改善民生、深化改革等方面的支出；同时，进一步减少财政赤字和长期建设国债。今年，中央财政赤字预算拟安排1800亿元，比去年预算赤字减少650亿元；拟安排国债投资300亿元，比去年减少200亿元；增加中央预算内经常性建设投资，中央建设投资总计为1521亿元。继续调整财政支出和政府投资结构，较大幅度地增加“三农”、社会保障、医疗卫生、教育、文化、节能减排和廉租住房建设等方面支出。要抓好增收节支，依法加强税收征管，规范非税收入管理，控制一般性支出。改革政府投资管理方式，提高投资使用效益。

Continuing to follow a prudent fiscal policy means that we must ensure the continuity and consistency of fiscal policy, get public finance to fully play its important role in promoting structural adjustment and balanced development, and increase expenditures to shore up weak links, improve people's lives and deepen reform. In addition, we need to further reduce the budget deficit and the volume of long-term development treasury bonds. The deficit for the central government budget this year is set at 180 billion yuan, 65 billion yuan less than last year. We plan to issue 30 billion yuan of treasury bonds for investment, 20 billion yuan less than last year, and increase allocations from the central government budget for general development, bringing total central government investment in development projects up to 152.1 billion yuan. We will continue to adjust the structure of government spending and investment by greatly increasing spending on agriculture, rural areas and farmers, the social safety net, medical and health care, education, culture, energy conservation and emissions reduction, and construction of low-rent housing. We will work hard to increase revenue and reduce expenditures, tighten tax collection and management in accordance with the law, improve management of non-tax revenue, and control regular expenditures. We need to reform the management of government investment to improve the performance of investments.

合理安排财政超收收入。去年全国财政比年度预算超收7239亿元，其中中央财政超收4168亿元。超预算收入使用的原则是：集中财力办关系民生和制度性建设方面的事，调整结构，加强薄弱环节。依法增加地方两税返还和一般性转移支付的支出；增加农林水、教育、文化和科技方面支出；增加社会保障、医疗卫生、司法保障和廉租住房建设支出；增加节能减排和环境保护支出；解决农村义务教育债务和国有粮食企业财务挂账等历史遗留问题支出。同时，削减财政赤字450亿元；拟增加中央预算稳定调节基金1032亿元。
