CCTV News: On the afternoon of March 17, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Multiple departments have introduced the situation related to boosting consumption. The "Special Action Plan to Boost Consumption" released on the 16th has proposed 30 specific measures from eight aspects. In the next step, how can the "big gift package" for people's livelihood truly benefit the people? Let’s learn about it together.

This "Special Action Plan to Boost Consumption" proposes that in carrying out the action of improving the quality of service consumption and benefiting the people, we must optimize the supply of "one elderly and one young" services and promote the consumption of life services. A relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that it will accelerate the allocation of community service outlets and provide more diverse and more inclusive consumption supply in light of the daily needs of the people.

Li Chunlin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "Promote the acceleration of the allocation of community service outlets such as shopping, catering, housekeeping, and maintenance, so that more residents can enjoy convenient services 'at the doorstep' and 'under the building'."

In terms of employment, the central government will allocate 66.74 billion yuan in employment subsidies to support local governments in implementing employment and entrepreneurship support policies and support improving residents' consumption capacity.

In 2025, the state allocated 300 billion yuan of ultra-long-term special treasury bond funds to support the expansion of consumer goods with old trade-in, and the amount of funds increased by 1 times compared with last year. The first batch of 81 billion yuan had been allocated to local governments in early January. In the next step, many departments will support local governments to increase efforts to implement the implementation of the old-for-new consumer goods, and promote the green and intelligent upgrade of bulk durable consumer goods such as automobiles, home appliances, and home decoration.

Li Gang, Director of the Market Operation and Consumption Promotion Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said: "Make subsidy funds more efficient and convenient to directly reach consumers, and at the same time deepen the construction of a recycling system for recycled resources, and improve the ability and level of resource recycling."

A relevant person in charge of the State Administration for Market Regulation stated that supervision and law enforcement will be strictly carried out, and special rectification actions will be carried out in response to market problems such as illegal addition of food, counterfeit and shoddy food, price fraud, and false propaganda that the public has strongly reflected.

A relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that it will accelerate the improvement of the service consumption policy system, and at the same time formulate and revise a batch of national standards and industry standards in the fields of catering, accommodation, elderly care, housekeeping, culture and entertainment, and improve the standardization level of the service industry.

Li Gang said: "Improve support policies in the fields of domestic service consumption, tourism consumption, digital consumption, sports consumption, etc., and launch a 'combination punch' of service consumption policies to enhance the people's sense of gain."
