In the first half of the year, all sectors steadfastly promoted economic transformation and high-quality development. Innovation-driven development, coordinated development, green development, opening-up development, and shared development all achieved new accomplishments. In the second half of the year, despite uncertainties in the external environment and significant pressure from internal structural adjustments, China's economy continues to maintain stable growth momentum. From the current trends in China's economic development, whether it's domestic demand potential, innovation momentum, or market vitality, all are demonstrating vigorous energy, injecting confidence and strength into achieving annual targets and tasks.

Domestic demand potential continues to be released. Since the beginning of this year, regions nationwide have prioritized expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption, injecting strong momentum into high-quality economic development. Although China has become the world's largest physical goods consumer, per capita physical consumption still has considerable room for improvement compared to developed countries, and service consumption has tremendous development potential. Regions must unwaveringly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, further strengthening the domestic cycle, optimizing the external cycle, and improving the dual circulation. In boosting consumption, they should steadily and orderly implement the trade-in policy for consumer goods, and accelerate the introduction and implementation of policies in areas such as first-launch economy, digital consumption, and "AI + consumption." In investment-driven growth, they should focus on key projects, urgently study and introduce policy measures to promote private investment development, and improve the long-term mechanism for private enterprises to participate in major national project construction. In market regulation, they should continue to advance market access barrier clearance and rectification actions, unify government behavioral standards, and further regulate local investment attraction behaviors. As long as regions and departments maintain confidence, combine with actual conditions, and timely introduce various grounded policies and measures to expand domestic demand, continuously releasing domestic demand potential will persistently enhance the resilience and vitality of China's economy.

Innovation momentum continues to gather. Since the beginning of this year, the collaborative development between artificial intelligence and various industries in China has accelerated, with the concept of "AI+" deeply rooted in people's hearts, injecting continuous innovation momentum into high-quality development. Regions and departments persist in making joint efforts in "hard investment" and "soft construction." In supporting policies, they continue to refine target tasks, key directions, and work measures for various industries, formulate policy guidance, and provide more specific and clear policy direction for industry applications. In major projects, they leverage the guiding and driving role of government investment to support artificial intelligence development. They optimize smart computing resource layout, continue to distribute "artificial intelligence vouchers" in areas such as computing power, promoting reduced R&D and usage costs for innovation entities; build application pilot bases in key industry directions, gathering industry-common and advantageous resources, and reducing technical application thresholds. In demonstration leadership, they strengthen scenario demonstrations, guide AI model companies and research institutions to form cross-functional teams with industry-leading enterprises, and deeply explore high-value scenarios. They promote model innovation, encourage qualified localities and enterprises to actively explore in areas such as supply-demand matching, factor integration, and assessment incentives, forming new models and new practices.

Market vitality becomes more active. The bidding and tendering market is an important component of the unified national market and also a significant factor affecting the business environment. Regions and departments must continue their efforts, activating the vitality of the bidding and tendering market through deepening reforms. In institutional construction, they implement new national standards for bid evaluation expert management, formulate new guidance for central enterprise procurement, clarify new benchmarks for fair competition, and implement fair competition review rules in the bidding and tendering field. In digital intelligence empowerment, they promote "sunshine transactions," advance digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, build a mobile digital certificate (CA) "one network," unify digital certificate standards across all regions nationwide, so enterprises no longer need to "change locks for each bid" when bidding across regions. In industry governance, from January to July this year, private enterprises winning bids in the engineering construction field reached 366,000, a year-on-year increase of 11.9%; the proportion of projects won by private enterprises reached 76%. This promotes the continued development of the bidding and tendering market toward a standardized and healthy direction. Regions and departments should both focus on building the bidding and tendering market and continue to promote the construction of a unified national market, providing a good development environment for various business entities and promoting the continued steady and positive development of China's economy.
