Stabilizing prices has the dual significance of protecting people's livelihood and stabilizing the overall economic situation. On the one hand, price is a barometer, a weather vane, and a direct reflection of people's livelihood issues. Since July, affected by various factors at home and abroad, the prices of daily necessities and housing, mainly agricultural products, have risen rapidly, and prices have become the focus of public attention. For a time, "Bean You Wan", "Garlic You Cruel", "Jiang Youjun", "Corn Madness", "Tang Gaozong", "Spicy" and so on appeared one after another. What troubled people's lives the most was firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. , meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and house prices remain high, making "price stabilization" the "keyword" of the meeting.

On the other hand, the exciting price trend has become the biggest suspense affecting whether China can achieve many economic policy goals next year. Next year is the first year of the implementation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". To complete the goals and tasks of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", we need to coordinate both the domestic and international situations and need a good start. Inflationary pressure will intensify the irrational allocation of resources and the degree of bubbles, impact the welfare level of low- and middle-income groups, and then affect the realization of the goals of "steady growth" and "structural adjustment." The economy is about managing the world and benefiting the people. If the society is depressed, how will the people live in peace? Therefore, properly handling the relationship between "stabilizing growth", "adjusting structure" and "managing inflation expectations" is not only a respect for economic laws, but also responsible for people's livelihood. This meeting made price stabilization the "top priority" of next year's economic work. It identified the "seven inches" and the "pulse."

Based on macro and micro considerations of people’s livelihood, the meeting proposed specific measures to stabilize prices, pointing out that it is necessary to “based on the current situation, take a long-term perspective, comprehensively implement policies and focus on governance principles, and use economic and legal means as the mainstay, supplemented by We will use necessary administrative means to comprehensively strengthen price control and supervision and keep the overall price level basically stable." Moreover, among the six tasks for next year, the first task is to "strengthen and improve macro-control and maintain stable and healthy economic operation." It is clear that there are requirements to control inflation; the second task is to "promote the development of modern agriculture and ensure the effective supply of agricultural products", which also shows that the central government is determined to solve the price problem from the source of food price stability; in addition, in addition to focusing on the fundamental strengthening of the supply chain, It also standardized and consolidated the construction of another important link in commodity prices, the circulation link, and proposed the implementation of the "rice bag" provincial governor responsibility system and the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system to ensure that the people can eat safe food.

Now that we have policies that benefit the people, how can we turn them into actual benefits for the people? We have the conditions and ability to stabilize prices. The key lies in the implementation of various measures. Previously, in response to the soaring prices, "combination punches" were frequently launched. On November 20, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the "State 16", namely the "Notice of the State Council on Stabilizing the Overall Level of Consumer Prices to Ensure the Basic Livelihoods of the People", requiring all localities and Relevant departments will further strengthen price control and supervision, stabilize market prices, and effectively guarantee the basic livelihood of the people; the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have begun to study the granting of temporary living subsidies to low-income families; the Ministry of Agriculture strives to ensure the production and supply of winter vegetables and other agricultural products. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce requires a severe crackdown on hoarding and price gouging in agricultural product markets; local governments at all levels have also adopted measures such as subsidies and price limits to slightly reduce the burden on citizens' "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets." Suppressing inflation is not only a tough battle but also a protracted one. In the future, in the process of implementing the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, in addition to continuing to introduce comprehensive inflation control policies, the management's implementation methods should also be reasonable, in place and meticulous to avoid price stabilization. At work, situations such as "burning rice with uncooked rice" and "turning over pancakes" appeared.
