Esteemed Deputies,
The National Development and Reform Commission has been entrusted by

the State Council to deliver this report on the implementation of the 2022 plan and
on the 2023 draft plan for national economic and social development to the First
Session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) for its deliberation and
approval. The Commission also invites comments from members of the National
Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

I. Implementation of the 2022 Plan for National Economic and Social Development

The year 2022 was of great importance in the history of both the Communist

Party of China (CPC) and the country. The 20th National Congress of the CPC was
successfully convened. The Congress unveiled a grand blueprint for building
China into a modern socialist country in all respects, charting the course and
establishing a guide to action for continued progress in advancing the cause of the
Party and the country on the new journey to achieve the Second Centenary Goal in

the new era.
Over the past year, we faced a volatile and complex situation abroad and the
challenging tasks of advancing reform and development and ensuring stability at
home. Under the firm leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi

Jinping at its core, all regions and departments consistently followed the guidance
of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,
thoroughly implemented the guiding principles from the 19th CPC National
Congress and the plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and
earnestly studied and implemented the guiding principles from the 20th CPC

National Congress. In accordance with the decisions and plans of the CPC Central
Committee and the State Council, we faithfully implemented the Report on the
Work of the Government and the 2022 plan for national economic and social
development, which were approved at the Fifth Session of the 13th NPC, and we

adopted the NPC Financial and Economic Affairs Committee’s suggestions based
on its review of the 2022 plan.
We remained true to the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring
stability and made sure that the requirements for keeping the epidemic under
control, stabilizing the economy, and pursuing safe development were followed.

We fully and faithfully applied the new development philosophy on all fronts,
