2016年中国财政预算赤字率为3%的目标已获全国人大审议通过。自1994年财税体制改革以来,中国政府预算一直偏向保守,财政赤字率从未突破3%。然而近期决策部门多次表态称将重新审视3%的赤字率红线。2016预算案证实决策层有意采取更为扩张的财政政策立场,以确保实现“十三五”规划期间每年6.5%以上的官方GDP增长目标。 The goal of 3% of China’s budget deficit in 2016 has been approved by the National People’s Congress. Since the reform of the fiscal and taxation system in 1994, the budget of the Chinese government has been conservative. The fiscal deficit rate has never exceeded 3%. However, many decision makers recently said they would revisit the red line of the deficit at 3%. The 2016 Budget confirms that policymakers are interested in taking a more ambitious fiscal policy stance to ensure that the official GDP growth target of 6.5% or more per year during the “13th Five-Year Plan” is achieved.
