How to correctly understand the influence of price changes on people's livelihood

(A) adhere to the people-oriented, highly concerned about people's livelihood, is the core of price work to implement Scientific Outlook on Development.

Price has always been the most sensitive factor in economic life. Price work is not only related to the healthy development of the national economy, but more importantly, it is directly related to the vital interests of the people and affects social harmony and stability. At present, most of the goods and services priced by the government are related to people's livelihood.

People-oriented is the core of Scientific Outlook on Development, and the price work must focus on this core to solve the most realistic price problem of people's livelihood, which is not only the concrete embodiment of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development in the price work, but also the primary task of the price department. We must treat prices from a political perspective, strive to play a functional role, and promote sound and rapid economic development and social harmony and stability.

Price work is largely mass work, and the price issue involves thousands of households. Because the grass-roots price departments are in direct contact with people's livelihood, we should maintain this high sensitivity, firmly grasp the people's livelihood price problem with strong social repercussions, and improve the pertinence of price work.

On the one hand, we will continue to intensify efforts to rectify the price and fees that are related to the vital interests of the people, such as "expensive schooling, expensive medical treatment and expensive housing". When pushing forward the price reform, we should fully embody the requirement of "the interests of the masses are no small matter" in specific operations, investigate and deal with price violations in time around the hot and difficult issues that the masses care about, ensure that the interests of the masses are not infringed, maintain social stability, promote fair income distribution, and strive to create a peaceful and happy life for the people.

On the other hand, while strengthening the supervision of prices and charges, we will continue to deepen the activity of "price service for thousands of households", comprehensively promote the openness of prices and charges, improve the transparency of prices and charges policies, improve the social supervision system, and prevent the occurrence of arbitrary price increases and arbitrary charges from the source.

Adhere to administration according to law, constantly improve the price decision-making hearing system and cost audit system, improve the transparency of government pricing and guidance prices, and safeguard and guarantee market fairness. Especially when the new price policy is introduced or some price problems of social concern appear, we can understand the doubts, opinions and suggestions of the masses at the first time and reflect them to the party Committee and government in time, so that the price work can truly become a "link" between the municipal party Committee and the municipal government and thousands of households.

Pay attention to the influence of price changes on the lives of low-income groups. Compared with the general public, low-income groups are more sensitive to price changes, and the impact of price changes on their lives and consumption is more obvious. Therefore, when introducing various price and charging schemes, we must consider the degree of influence on them. Price changes involve the adjustment and distribution of interests of all parties. Effectively solving the people's livelihood price problem involving thousands of households is the concrete embodiment of the current price department's implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development.

(2) Grasp the main contradictions in economic operation and ensure that the price work serves the overall situation of macro-control.

Under the condition of market economy, it is one of the important contents of macro-control to prevent the total market price level from fluctuating violently. Price departments should fully understand the arduousness and complexity of macro-control, fully understand and resolutely implement the policies and measures of the central government and our province to strengthen macro-control, actively use price leverage, and promote stable and coordinated economic development. To provide a relatively stable price environment for national economic and social development to the maximum extent.

The price department can give full play to the unique role of price leverage in coordinating the interests of all parties in society, organically combine the concern for social equity with the full play of the basic role of the market in resource allocation, and further strengthen and improve macro-control. In the event of inflation and major natural disasters, take comprehensive control measures to curb excessive price increases and reduce the pressure on people's lives; When the reform of enterprises is accelerating and the pressure of employment is increasing, we should promptly study and formulate the price and charging policies for expanding employment and preferential measures for vulnerable groups and difficult groups, and correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability; By deepening the price reform, we can alleviate and solve the price contradiction and promote the development of related fields and industries.

On the one hand, price departments and price work should respect and trust the market, on the other hand, they should not blindly worship and trust the market. They must assess the situation, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, formulate correct price policies, actively cooperate with the policies of relevant departments, and timely grasp the timing and intensity of price reform programs. We should not only curb inflation, but also guard against deflation, ensure that the overall market price level is basically stable, and promote the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the national economy and society.

(3) In the process of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, the price work should focus on promoting sound and rapid economic development.

To implement Scientific Outlook on Development, development is the top priority. Under the condition of market economy, the basic function of price is to adjust market supply and demand and allocate resources. The former determines the stability of economic and social development, while the latter determines the efficiency and speed of economic and social development. Whether the market mechanism, especially the price mechanism, can play a normal role determines whether the basic function of price can be played reasonably and whether it can achieve rapid development. Therefore, testing the government's price work mainly depends on whether the price work has promoted the further improvement of the socialist market economic system and whether the price mechanism has played a good role in regulating market supply and demand and resource allocation. Therefore, the competent price departments at all levels should not only do a good job in examining and approving every price and investigating every price violation case, but also go out of these specific matters and do a good job in price supervision, price supervision and price service from the perspective of providing a more perfect price system environment and a more standardized price order for economic and social development.

Secondly, the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development is to change the unreasonable economic structure and extensive management methods in the past, persist in taking reform and opening up as the driving force, pay attention to relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of workers, accelerate the strategic adjustment of economic structure, and significantly improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth.

At present, the global financial tsunami triggered by the US subprime mortgage crisis has had a negative impact on China's real economy, such as blocked export markets, the closure of some small and medium-sized enterprises, and the slowdown in economic growth. The important reason is that China has not completed the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of economic growth mode. Most enterprises do not rely on excellent market competitiveness, but mainly rely on excessive consumption of mineral products, raw materials and ecological environment resources, and pursue the maximization of micro-interests, which is difficult to resist the impact of foreign market competition.
