Hubei Daily (Reporter Li Zhaoxia) At 2 pm on June 30, the seminar on building an international consumer center city and the Southern Weekend City Forum were held in Han. Wang Wei, director and researcher of the Institute of Market Economy of the Development Research Center of the State Council, delivered a video speech titled "Focus on the Construction of International Consumption Center Cities in the Post-Epidemic Era", proposing that the construction of international consumption center cities requires policy coordination, Multi-sector efforts were made. In the short term, the commercial sector may be the sector that benefits the most and is easier to find opportunities for. But in the medium to long term, sectors such as transportation, industry and information technology, education, medical care, and culture and tourism will all achieve great development.
Consumption does not only refer to consumer goods. Medical health, leisure and entertainment, training and education, cultural tourism, etc. are all likely to become content consumed by residents, and are not limited to the retail industry overseen by the commerce department. The consumption of services provided by industries such as culture, entertainment, sports, medical care, and health accounts for an increasing proportion of residents’ consumption activities. At present, service consumption accounts for more than 44% of life, and it is expected to exceed 50% during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. In the future, the greater space for consumption will not be in commodities, but in services; it is not limited to catering and tourism, but is closely related to the quality of life, the improvement of personal quality and the enrichment of the spiritual world of ordinary people.
Wang Wei believes that to increase consumption, it is necessary to create a supply of related services, and consumer industries need to develop more abundantly. The construction of business districts by the commercial department is equivalent to providing a carrier, which requires the efforts of culture and tourism, industry and information technology, sports, education and other departments to fill in the content. The creation of a consumption environment requires support from regulatory authorities and transportation departments in terms of convenience facilities and transportation facilities. In terms of policy support, it is necessary to explore how to better support the development of service consumption, such as tax-free consumption.
