Main goals for economic and social development in 2019

China will continue the three critical battles and adopt precise measures to deliver solid outcomes. To forestall and defuse major risks, China should be clear about potential dangers, continue structural deleveraging, forestall abnormal financial market fluctuations, deal prudently with local government debt risk, and guard against and control externally-generated risks.

China will intensify precision poverty alleviation efforts in accordance with current standards, with the focus on deeply impoverished areas and the most vulnerable groups to deliver solid outcomes.

In addressing pollution, China will focus on major priorities such as the fight to keep the skies blue, take a holistic approach, address both symptoms and root causes, and make continuous improvements to the environment.
