Pricing work concerns national economy and the people’s livelihood. It is connected to both the macro economy and millions of households across China. It also concerns the stable economic development, efficient market operation, the improvement of people’s livelihood and welfare, and social harmony and stability. We adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the 2nd through 5th Plenary Sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee. We adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, follow the principle of seeking progress while ensuring stability, adhere to the new development concept, and closely follow the changes of main contradictions in our society. In accordance with the requirements of high-quality development and the construction of a modern economic system, we aim at comprehensively deepening the price reforms, accelerating the building of a mechanism where prices are primarily determined by the market, and improve the government’s price management system. We will keep improving our price control, supervision and service capabilities, and strive to open up a new prospect of pricing work in a new era.

Thank you for your attention, care and support. Your valuable suggestions are appreciated.
