中國計(jì)劃開設(shè)更多免稅商店,促進(jìn)暢銷生活日用品進(jìn)口,,以此來刺激通貨緊縮壓力下的國內(nèi)消費(fèi)。
李克強(qiáng)于周三主持召開了國務(wù)院常務(wù)會(huì)議,,會(huì)議決定頒布一系列政策來提振消費(fèi)——消費(fèi)被政府視為是促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的驅(qū)動(dòng)引擎之一,。
根據(jù)會(huì)后發(fā)布的聲明,因?yàn)槿缃裰袊M庥慰偷馁徫锓秶褟纳莩奁放茢U(kuò)展到了日常生活用品,,因此會(huì)議決定在全國入境口增設(shè)免稅店,,增加暢銷消費(fèi)品進(jìn)口。
根據(jù)商務(wù)部的數(shù)據(jù),,去年有1億多中國人到海外旅游,,共計(jì)花費(fèi)1萬多億人民幣(1570億美元)。
聲明中并未提及免稅商店開設(shè)的具體時(shí)間和地點(diǎn),。但海關(guān)總署副署長魯培軍在早期采訪中曾說,,政府計(jì)劃在機(jī)場開設(shè)新商店。
魯培軍說,,中國目前共有262家免稅商店,,其中一些為外交工作人員提供免稅商品。
“中國入境口的免稅商店并不多,我們想要增設(shè)此種商店,,但這也必須尊重企業(yè)的意愿,,”他說。
北京旅游協(xié)會(huì)副秘書長劉思敏稱,,短期內(nèi),,增加消費(fèi)者在國內(nèi)市場的消費(fèi),減少其在海外消費(fèi)并不容易,。“達(dá)到這一目標(biāo),,需要升級(jí)工業(yè)生產(chǎn),提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量。”(中國進(jìn)出口網(wǎng))
China is planning to open more duty-free stores and facilitate the import of popular daily commodities to stimulate domestic spending amid flagging deflationary pressure.
An executive meeting of the State Council, presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, decided on Wednesday to issue a package of policies to shore up consumption, one of the driving engines tapped by the government to support economic growth.
The meeting decided to open more duty-free stores at ports of entry across the country and to import more popular consumer goods, as the shopping list of Chinese overseas travelers has expanded from luxury brands to daily living products, according to a statement released after the meeting.
More than 100 million Chinese traveled overseas last year and spent more than 1 trillion yuan ($157 billion) during their trips, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
The statement did not include details as to when and wher the duty-free stores will open. However, Lu Peijun, deputy head of the General Administration of Customs, said in an earlier interview that the government is considering setting up new stores at airports.
Lu said China currently has 262 duty-free stores nationwide, with some offering duty-free goods for diplomatic staff.
"There are not many duty-free stores at the ports of entry in China....We are considering opening more shops of this kind,… but it has to follow the willingness of the enterprises," he said.
Liu Simin, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Tourism Association, said it wouldn't be easy to get consumers to spend more in the domestic market and less overseas in a short time. "To achieve the target involves the upgrading of industrial production and the improvement of services."
