Focus on the people's urgent problems and do a good job in housing and urban-rural construction
Q: The Central Economic Work Conference proposes to promote the overall improvement of economic performance. What is the overall consideration of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in implementing the spirit of the meeting?
A: The Central Economic Work Conference stresses that we should adhere to the principle of stability and seek progress with maintaining stability.
I understand that the stability is the foundation, and progress is the key. The housing and urban-rural construction departments should make a good start in stability and work hard on progress this year, and be down-to-earth to play the foundation and supporting role in stabilizing growth, preventing risks, and benefiting people's livelihood, and make contributions to the overall improvement of China's economic operation.
To implement the spirit of the meeting, the key is to work hard. Housing and urban-rural construction are directly linked to the interests and well-being of the people. The people's yearning for a better life is the starting point and destination of our work. We will focus on the people's anxieties and difficulties. We will solve the things one by one and work hard year after year. We will do our best and do what we can to further constantly enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness and security.
The original mission of our party is to seek happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation. Peaceful housing is the basis of people's happiness, and only by living in peace can we work happily. Therefore, we will firmly grasp the basic point of letting the people live in peace, and strive to let the people live in better houses as the goal, from good houses to good residential communities, from good residential communities to good communities, from good communities to good urban areas, which aims to plan, build and govern the city well and so as to make the city more livable, more resilient and smarter.
Increase confidence, prevent risks and promote transformation, stive to promote the stabilization and recovery of the real estate market
Q: The Central Economic Work Conference proposes to ensure the stable development of the real estate market and support rigid and improved housing demand, what measures will be taken to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market this year?
A: This year's Central Economic Work Conference makes clear arrangements for real estate work. In terms of investing in expanding domestic demand, support for housing improvements is required; In terms of effectively preventing and resolving major economic and financial risks, it is required to ensure the stable development of the real estate market and do a solid job in ensuring the delivery of buildings, protecting people's livelihood and ensuring stability. We feel a great responsibility.
To do a good job in real estate in 2023, it can be summarized in three sentences. The first sentence is to increase confidence. Let real estate enterprises have confidence, let buyers have confidence, and let new citizens and young people have confidence. The second sentence is to prevent risk. This is the bottom line, prevent and resolve risks, the real estate market can develop steadily and healthily, and the economy can be stable and far-reaching. The third sentence is to promote transformation. At present, the real estate market has shifted from the existing of the solution to solving the "good or not" solution, improving the quality of housing and allowing the people to live in better houses is an inevitable requirement for the high-quality development of the real estate market. Focus on five things and strive to promote the real estate market to stabilize and recover.
The first is to strongly support rigid and improved housing demand. Unswervingly adhere to the positioning that houses are for living, not for speculation, and implement precise policies according to the city to boost market confidence. Strong support should be given to those who buy their first house. The down payment ratio and the first set of interest rates should be reduced. Reasonable support should be given to those who purchase the second house. Families that sell the old for the new, exchange the small for the large, and have many children must be given policy support. In principle, the purchase of more than three houses is not supported, that is, there is no room for speculators to re-enter the market. At the same time, we will step up efforts to increase the supply of affordable rental housing and the construction of a long-term rental housing market, so that new citizens and young people can live better and let them free their hands and feet to strive for a better life.
The second is to vigorously promote the work of ensuring the handover of buildings, protecting people's livelihood and ensuring stability. Implement the main responsibility of the city government, implement the one policy for one building plan, ensure that the support policy is accurately implemented in each project and every buyer, and let buyers take a reassuring pill.
The third is to focus on resolving the risks of housing enterprises. In the way of slow gas, the risk of the rupture of the capital chain of housing enterprises is safely resolved. The focus is to increase the development loans, merger and acquisition loans and mortgage loans of home buyers to meet reasonable financing needs.
The fourth is to strive to improve quality and build a good house. Improve housing construction standards, create good houses models, cure old houses, research and establish three systems of housing physical examination, pension and insurance, and provide security for the whole life cycle of housing.
Fifth, work together to rectify the order of the real estate market. Work with relevant departments to investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations in areas such as real estate development, housing sales, housing leasing, and property services in accordance with law, create a market environment that is honest and law-abiding, and has a clean atmosphere, so that the people can buy and rent houses with confidence.
Promote high-quality urban development and strive to create high-quality living spaces
Q: The Central Economic Work Conference stresses focusing on promoting high-quality development. What measures will the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development take to give full play to the city's important carrier role and promote the high-quality development of the city?
A: Cities are the locomotive of modernization and an important carrier of high-quality development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's urban development has made brilliant achievements that has attracted worldwide attention, the carrying capacity, inclusiveness and livability of cities have been continuously improved, and the people's life in the city has become more convenient, more comfortable and better. We will adhere to the people's city built by the people and the people's city for the people, unswervingly promote the high-quality development of the city, and strive to create a high-quality living space for the people.
First, adhere to precise treatment and comprehensively carry out urban physical examination and assessment. Cities are organic organisms. Like people's physical examinations, cities should also conduct regular physical examinations to find out the people's urgent problems and shortcomings affecting the sustainable development of cities, and promote systematic management of "urban diseases".
The second is to adhere to the concept of system and deeply implement urban renewal actions. Adhere to the problem-oriented approach, and concentrate on solving the most direct and realistic interests of the masses in the field of urban construction. Continue to promote the transformation of old residential areas, build a complete community, protect and inherit the historical context, improve urban functions, and improve urban quality.
The third is to adhere to the guidance of science and technology and continuously improve the ability of urban governance. Vigorously promote the application of new technologies and products to improve urban resilience and carrying capacity. Make full use of digital means to improve the level of refined, scientific and intelligent urban governance.
Fourth, adhere to deepen reform and continue to improve the quality and efficiency of the development of the construction industry. Closely focusing on the core of providing high-quality building products for the society, we will implement the construction policy in the new era and promote the industrialization, digitalization and green transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.
2023 is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Economic work, housing and urban-rural construction work are complicated and complex, and in order to achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity, and to achieve steady progress, we must work with precision. Only when problems are accurately identified, goals are accurately targeted, and policies are accurately formulated can we accurately implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and accurately meet the needs of the people for a better life.
