中国经济要闻

China will make the most of government bonds to expand effective investment, enhance development momentum and promote steady economic growth, according to a decision made at the State Council's executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday.

Under the principle of keeping the macro leverage ratio generally stable, 3.65 trillion yuan of special-purpose bonds for local governments will be newly allocated for this year. In a bid to strengthen cross-cyclical adjustment, an advance quota worth 1.46 trillion yuan had been disbursed at the end of last year.

Efforts will be made to deliver the remaining local government debt quota at a faster pace, prioritising regions with a strong position for debt service and sufficient candidate projects.

The advance quota allocated last year will be issued by the end of May, and the quota set for this year will be issued by the end of September, Premier Li said.

Keeping the economy stable in the first quarter and first half of the year is crucial to achieving the annual target. Given the growing complexities in the international landscape, new challenges facing domestic development and increasing downward pressure on the economy, various changes both in and outside of China have already been taken into account in a forward-looking way when formulating this year's macro policies, the meeting added.

国务院总理李克强3月29日主持召开国务院常务会议。会议要求压实责任落细措施，坚决防止重特大安全事故；部署用好政府债券扩大有效投资，促进补短板增后劲和经济稳定增长；决定新开工一批条件成熟的水利工程，提高水资源保障和防灾减灾能力。

会议指出，用好政府债券扩大有效投资，是带动消费扩大内需、促就业稳增长的重要举措。按照保持宏观杠杆率基本稳定的原则，今年新增地方政府专项债3.65万亿元。为加强周期性调节，去年底已依法提前下达1.46万亿元。

下一步，一要抓紧下达剩余专项债额度，向偿债能力强、项目多储备足的地区倾斜。去年提前下达的额度5月底前发行完毕，今年下达的额度9月底前发行完毕。

会议指出，当前国际形势更趋复杂严峻，国内发展面临新挑战，经济下行压力进一步加大。制定今年宏观政策时，对国内外环境很多变化已有前瞻考虑。一季度、上半年保持经济平稳运行，对实现全年目标至关重要。要抓紧落实中央经济工作会议精神和政府工作报告举措，坚定信心，咬定目标不放松，把稳增长放在更加突出的位置，统筹稳增长、调结构、推改革，稳定经济的政策早出快出，不出不利于稳定市场预期的措施，制定应对可能遇到更大不确定性的预案。

China's manufacturing activity contracted in March amid pressures from domestic COVID-19 cases and uncertainties from geopolitical tensions, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.

The official purchasing managers index for China's manufacturing sector was at 49.5, compared with 50.2 in February, slipping into contraction after expanding for four consecutive months.

On the other hand, the official non-manufacturing PMI, which measures activities in the construction and services sectors, also slid into contraction at 48.4, decreasing by 3.2 percentage points from February.

据国家统计局网站消息，3月份，中国制造业采购经理指数（PMI）为49.5%，比上月下降0.7个百分点，低于临界点，制造业总体景气水平有所回落。

国家统计局服务业调查中心高级统计师赵庆河表示，近期，国内多地出现聚集性疫情，加之国际地缘政治不稳定因素显著增加，我国企业生产经营活动受到一定影响。

此外，3月份，非制造业商务活动指数为48.4%，低于上月3.2个百分点，非制造业景气水平下降，企业经营活动总体放缓。
