今年发展的主要预期目标是:国内生产总值增长6.5%-7%,居民消费价格涨幅3%左右,城镇新增就业1000万人以上,城镇登记失业率4.5%以内,进出口回稳向好,国际收支基本平衡,居民收入增长和经济增长基本同步。单位国内生产总值能耗下降3.4%以上,主要污染物排放继续减少。

By working to achieve all of these, we should get off to a good start in economic and social development during the period covered by the 13th Five-Year Plan.

The main development targets for 2016 are as follows:

-- GDP growth of 6.5% to 7%;

-- CPI increase kept at around 3%;

-- creation of at least ten million new urban jobs;

-- registered urban unemployment rate kept within 4.5%;

-- a steady rise in import and export volumes;

-- a basic balance in international payments;

-- increases in personal income basically in step with economic growth;

-- a reduction in energy consumption per unit of GDP of at least 3.4%;

-- further reductions in the release of major pollutants.

经济增长预期目标6.5%-7%,考虑了与全面建成小康社会目标相衔接,考虑了推进结构性改革的需要,也有利于稳定和引导市场预期。稳增长主要是为了保就业、惠民生,有6.5%-7%的增速就能够实现比较充分的就业。

In setting a projected growth rate of between 6.5% and 7%, we have taken into consideration the need to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the need to advance structural reform. It will also help guide market expectations and keep them stable. The aim of maintaining stable growth is primarily to ensure employment and promote the people's wellbeing, and a growth rate of between 6.5% and 7% will allow for relatively full employment.

综合分析各方面情况,今年我国发展面临的困难更多更大、挑战更为严峻,我们要做打硬仗的充分准备。

A comprehensive analysis of all factors shows that China will face more and tougher problems and challenges in its development this year, so we must be fully prepared to fight a difficult battle.

从国际看,世界经济深度调整、复苏乏力,国际贸易增长低迷,金融和大宗商品市场波动不定,地缘政治风险上升,外部环境的不稳定不确定因素增加,对我国发展的影响不可低估。

Internationally, the global economy is experiencing profound changes and struggling to recover; growth in trade is weak; there are fluctuations in the financial and commodity markets; geopolitical risks are rising; and there are increasing instabilities and uncertainties in China's external environment. We should not underestimate the impact all of this will have on China's development.

从国内看,长期积累的矛盾和风险进一步显现,经济增速换挡、结构调整阵痛、新旧动能转换相互交织,经济下行压力加大。

Domestically, problems and risks that have been building up over the years are becoming more evident; the change of pace in economic growth, the difficulties associated with structural adjustments, and the transformation of the drivers of growth present interwoven problems; and downward pressure on the economy is growing.

但困难和挑战并不可怕。中国的发展从来都是在应对挑战中前进的,没有过不去的坎。经过多年的快速发展,我国物质基础雄厚,经济韧性强、潜力足、回旋余地大,改革开放不断注入新动力,创新宏观调控积累了丰富经验。特别是我们有中国共产党的坚强领导和中国特色社会主义制度,中国人民勤劳智慧。只要我们万众一心,共克时艰,就一定能够实现全年经济社会发展目标。

But we will not be daunted by these problems and challenges. China has from the start been developing while responding to challenges; there is no difficulty we cannot get beyond. Thanks to years of rapid development, China has laid a solid material foundation, and its economy is hugely resilient and has enormous potential and ample room for growth. At the same time, reform and opening up has been injecting new impetus into economic growth, and a wealth of experience has been gained in developing new ways of conducting macro regulation. In addition, we have the guidance of the CPC and the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and our people are talented and hardworking. As long as we work together as one to surmount all difficulties, we will definitely achieve the targets for economic and social development in 2016.
