The year 2025 marks the concluding year of the 14^th Five-Year Plan and a crucial year for laying the groundwork for the 15^th Five-Year Plan. It is a year of both culmination and commencement, carrying immense significance and responsibility as we strive to build upon past achievements and forge ahead towards a brighter future.

2025年是“十四五”规划的收官之年，也是“十五五”谋篇布局之年，承上启下、继往开来，做好明年的工作意义重大、责任重大。

In carrying out our work next year, we must ensure both high-quality development and reasonable quantitative growth. We will prioritize:

做好明年工作，要确保质的提升和量的合理增长。

Optimizing the Business Environment and Stabilizing Expectations: We will focus on comprehensively optimizing the business environment and strengthening systemic and integrated policy support to bolster confidence in both short-term and long-term stable development.

要突出优环境、稳预期，立足全面优化营商环境，加强系统性集成性政策保障，增强明年和长期稳定发展信心。

Expanding Domestic Demand and Optimizing Supply: We will leverage Zhengzhou's advantages in transportation, logistics, and population inflow to accelerate efforts in addressing shortcomings in domestic demand, particularly consumption, while enhancing the quality and effectiveness of investment.

要突出扩内需、优供给，充分发挥郑州市交通区位优势、人口流入优势，加快补齐内需特别是消费短板，提高投资的质量和效益。

Seizing Policy Opportunities: We will capitalize on the opportunities presented by "a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately accommodative monetary policy" to swiftly translate policy incentives and development opportunities into tangible results.

要突出抢政策、抓机遇，抢抓“实施更加积极的财政政策和适度宽松的货币政策”机遇，把政策热度和发展机遇迅速转化为落实力度和发展成效。

Deepening Reforms and Transforming Growth Drivers: Guided by economic system reforms, we will break down institutional barriers, promote the liberation and development of productive forces, and foster deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. We will coordinate the cultivation of new growth drivers, upgrade traditional ones, accelerate the development of emerging industries, and achieve a comprehensive restructuring of our industrial system toward greater competitiveness.

要突出强改革、转动能，以经济体制改革为牵引，破除体制机制障碍，推动解放和发展生产力，坚持科技创新产业创新深度融合，统筹培育新动能和更新旧动能，加快发展新兴产业，实现产业体系竞争力系统重塑。

Ensuring Livelihoods and Preventing Risks: We will dedicate ourselves to effectively addressing the pressing concerns of the people, ensuring that the fruits of development are tangible and accessible to all. We will continuously strengthen our bottom-line thinking, take a holistic approach to risk prevention, and effectively neutralize various risks and hidden dangers to achieve a dynamic balance between development and security.

要突出保民生、防风险，切实解决好人民群众急难愁盼，让市民群众对发展成果可感可及，不断强化底线思维，一体防范、稳妥消除各类风险隐患，实现发展和安全的动态平衡、相得益彰。
