Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao: We should take expanding consumption as a support for economic growth next year

On December 12, at the Central Economic Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized the economic work in 2024, analyzed the current economic situation, and deployed the economic work in 2025. In an interview, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao said: In his speech, the General Secretary mentioned some content related to business work many times. For example, expanding consumption, stabilizing foreign investment, and stabilizing foreign trade. The Ministry of Commerce will combine the speech of the General Secretary to grasp the implementation with the spirit of nailing nails. We should take expanding consumption as a support for economic growth next year. We will promote the growth of service trade and stabilize foreign investment by expanding opening up. I believe that through these, we are still very confident in the entire economic work next year, especially business work.
