Personally, I think the five-year plan is the best paper on economy, because economic development contains a wide range of contents and there will be more relevant materials, so it is better to write. In fact, economic development can be manifested in the following aspects: gross domestic product, residents' consumption level, balance of payments, employment rate, economic policy adjustment and so on. In the eighth five-year plan, amazing achievements have been made in these fields. For example:

During the eighth five-year plan period, the gross domestic product increased substantially.

The average annual growth rate of nominal GDP is 26.6%, the average annual growth rate of real GDP is 12.3%, the average annual change of deflator is 12.8%, and the average annual growth rate of dollar GDP is 13.3%.

Breakthrough progress has been made in economic restructuring.

The new fiscal system with the tax-sharing system as the core and the new tax system with the value-added tax as the main body have been basically established and operated normally. Policy finance and commercial finance were initially separated, the exchange rate was successfully merged, a new macro-economic control framework was initially established, and the role of the market in resource allocation was significantly enhanced, forming a pattern in which public ownership is the mainstay and various economic sectors develop together.

The overall pattern of opening up has basically taken shape.

The scope and scale of opening to the outside world have been further expanded, forming an overall opening pattern from coastal areas to inland areas, from general processing industries to basic industries and infrastructure. The development and opening up of the Yangtze River basin, led by Shanghai Pudong, has become an important measure for the regional layout of opening up during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period. There are more than 1 100 counties and cities in China, and a large number of economic development zones and 13 bonded zones have been established.

Foreign trade has developed rapidly.

The total foreign trade volume reached 10 145 billion US dollars, which was double that of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, with an average annual growth rate of 19.5%, higher than that of the Sixth Five-Year Plan and 0.6% of the Seventh Five-Year Plan. The annual export volume has exceeded 654.38+000 billion yuan, accounting for 3% of the world commodity trade from 6543.8+0.6% in the Seventh Five-Year Plan. 1995, China's total import and export trade ranks 1 1 in the world; China's foreign exchange reserves have reached US$ 73.6 billion, which is 5.6 times higher than US$11billion at the end of the Seventh Five-Year Plan.

The living standards of urban and rural people continued to improve.

During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, the per capita living expenses income of urban residents reached 1578 yuan, with an average annual increase of 7.7% and 4.5% respectively after deducting the price factor, which was much higher than the 3.7% and 2.8% in the Seventh Five-Year Plan period. The total retail sales of social goods was 6,727.5 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 10.6% after deducting the price factor, which was much higher than the level of 3.3% during the Seventh Five-Year Plan period. By the end of 1995, the savings balance of urban and rural residents was close to 3 trillion yuan, an increase of more than 2 trillion yuan over the end of the Seventh Five-Year Plan.
