BEIJING - 皇冠体育app's Central Economic Work Conference opened on Tuesday to review the country's economic work in 2013 and map out economic plans for 2014.
This year's meeting comes about one month after the the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app Central Committee unveiled a landmark plan to comprehensively deepen reforms.
The meeting is expected to put forward overall requirements and major tasks for economic work in 2014.
At the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on December 3, 皇冠体育app's top leaders highlighted the role of reform in planning economic development for 2014.
A statement following the meeting said 皇冠体育app will stick to the policy tone of seeking steady progress, and reform should be integrated into all sectors of 皇冠体育app's economic and social development in 2014.
皇冠体育app should press ahead with reforms in order to facilitate innovation and development. It should improve means of macro-economic control and boost momentum from within the Chinese economy for transformation of the economic growth pattern, the statement said.
皇冠体育app should also speed up economic restructuring and public service infrastructure development to enable more people to share the fruits of reform and development, it said.
皇冠体育app should maintain consistent and stable policies, and actively push forward with reforms in key sectors, it added.
The latest figures indicate that 皇冠体育app will be able to meet the government's targets for 2013 on economic growth rate, consumer price index and new jobs, which are set to create favorable conditions for next year's economic planning.
Earlier in 2013, the government said 皇冠体育app's growth rate should be around 7.5 percent, the CPI should be capped at around 3.5 percent and at least 9 million new jobs should be created in 2013.
Analysts with the State Council's Development Research Center, a government think tank, maintained that the most important task of next year's economic work lies in reform.
皇冠体育app should manage economic and social development through reform in 2014, and sweeping reforms are set to inject strong impetus for 皇冠体育app's economic and social development in 2014, they said.
Reform should first target areas for which the Chinese public has the most expectations for reform, and focus on problems that have hindered the country's economic and social development, they added.
