Stimulate vitality and boost consumption | Hebei Huimin subsidies drive consumption benefit to be obvious

CCTV News:In order to further release domestic demand, the Ministry of Commerce has positioned this year as a "consumption boosting year". Some time ago, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei consumption season started. For more than a month, based on their respective characteristics and advantages, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei launched consumption policies according to local conditions, created consumption activities, and strived to meet the diversified needs of consumers.

March is the off-season of home appliance sales, but in Zhengding County, Hebei Province, no one expected that the 3 million yuan subsidy for home appliances just invested by the government was snapped up by consumers in just one and a half days.

The promotion season has such an effect, thanks to a series of preparations made by the local government and merchants before the event started.

Zhang Chaoyong, Deputy Director of Zhengding County Bureau of Commerce, Hebei Province:Let’s first call the person in charge of Shangchao to hold a forum to give up the maximum discount on the price of the goods. We have to do our work, and in order to gather popularity, we have communicated with shopping malls and manufacturers many times. At first, they refused to let the government pay, so it was very difficult for us. The government’s funds must be strictly controlled and the limited funds should be used to maximize consumption.

After many meetings, it was finally determined that the government and the merchants would pay half the subsidy fee. In March, Zhengding County took the lead in providing 3 million yuan of subsidy funds for household appliances consumption, which means that businesses should also make a profit of 3 million yuan, which is equivalent to the ordinary people getting a discount of 6 million yuan. How can this 6 million yuan benefit the people who really need it?

Song Chunhai, Manager of Zhengding Store of Northland Electric Appliances:The starting line of household appliances subsidy is generally 2000 yuan, which is the average customer unit price of refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines and air conditioners, which is basically more than 2000 yuan. This time, the Bureau of Commerce mentioned Pratt & Whitney, and finally we decided to go to 1000 yuan. Like TV, the elderly sometimes need 42 inches and 32 inches, both of which are more than 1000 yuan. In this way, many customers who just need sex have gained great benefits in this activity.

After lowering the starting line, in Zhengding, no matter local consumers or foreign consumers, they can enjoy 15% government subsidies for benefiting the people if they buy household appliances with a price of 1,000 to 5,000 yuan, and 10% subsidies for those with a price of more than 5,000 yuan. In order to ensure that the benefits the people get are practical and water-free, the local government also spent half a month making another preparatory work before the start of the consumption season.

HebeiZhang Chaoyong, Deputy Director of Zhengding County Bureau of Commerce: I am afraid that they will raise prices. When they say that the government has subsidies and raised prices, the people are equal to not getting benefits, and businesses are making money. Therefore, before this, it is necessary to put on record, and all commodity prices should be put on record in the price management department of the market supervision bureau, and then publicity should be carried out after the record is completed.

Zhengding, Hebei Province invested a total of more than 10 million yuan in promotional funds in March, focusing on the consumption of bulk commodities with obvious driving effects such as automobiles and household appliances. Up to now, directly boosting the consumption of automobile appliances by 200 million yuan has not only boosted the consumption enthusiasm of ordinary people, but also enhanced the business confidence of enterprises.

[Winter trip to Tibet] The Tibetan secret hidden by a cherry

Cctv news(Reporter He Chuan) Less than 200 kilometers south of Lhasa, there is a snowy town called Zedang. At night on December 20, 2016, the street lights in the town were bright and people and cars were mixed. In the corner of the street, a row of small shops filled with mangosteen, strawberries, kumquat, ponkan and other fruits are particularly eye-catching in the night in a plateau town with an altitude of more than 3,500 meters.

In the front row of Mr. Zhang's fruit shop is a kilo of cherries in 80 yuan.

In the front row of Mr. Zhang’s fruit shop is a kilo of cherries in 80 yuan.

The reporter randomly walked into a roadside stall without a store name and found that the richness of fruit types inside was amazing: fruits that can be seen in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are basically available here. One basket of fresh cherries especially aroused our curiosity: Where did this valuable anti-season fruit come from and where did it go? Who is consuming these fruits?

Mr. Zhang, the owner of the fruit shop, told the reporter affirmatively: "Most of the guests in these two months are locals. This cherry is a catty in 80 yuan, which is already a preferential price. The people here like it very much. It’s strange to eat it. A basket of cherries can be finished in three or four days."

Mr. Zhang comes from Pengzhou, Sichuan, and has been doing fruit business in Tibet for three or four years. In a few words, Mr. Zhang answered the whereabouts of these fruits. When talking about the recent business situation, Mr. Zhang had reservations: "The business is not good recently, and it sells more than 2,000 yuan a day, which is much worse than the tourist season."

December is the off-season of tourism in Tibet, and tourists habitually conclude that winter in Tibet must be ice and snow, so the number of tourists who choose to visit Tibet in winter is much less than that in spring and summer. But even so, according to Mr. Zhang’s conservative view, the monthly turnover of this small fruit shop in the off-season has reached 60 thousand yuan. Excluding the basic expenditure of about 10 thousand yuan per month, according to the gross profit of 30% of the vegetable and fruit industry, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang earn at least 15 thousand yuan per month in this season.

"When my new friends in the mainland asked me if your children were going to ride over the snow-capped mountains when they went to school, I silently took pictures of eating cherries in frozen Tibet, as well as local strawberries, pineapples and cherry tomatoes and sent them to him." Tsering Tashi, a local youth from Zedang Town who went to college in Beijing, told reporters humorously: "What is used to in Tibet today is the secret of Tibet for many people who don’t understand the development and changes in Tibet in recent years."

This strawberry is produced in a greenhouse in Lhasa, Tibet.

According to the official website of Xizang Autonomous Region government, the per capita disposable income of Tibetan farmers and herdsmen reached 8,244 yuan in 2015, up by 12% over the previous year, and has maintained double-digit growth for 13 consecutive years. This is the confidence that people in Xizang can consume a catty of cherries in 80 yuan. People in Xizang’s happy life now is an open secret in every place in Tibet.

Until the end of the interview, Mr. Zhang did not tell reporters where these cherries came from. In fact, it’s no mystery: about 100 kilometers from Zedang to Lhasa is Gongga Airport. Here, fruits from all over the world and all over the country can arrive on the same day or the next day. In other words, bananas picked from Hainan Island in the morning can be placed in the living room of college student Tsering Tashi’s home at night.

The Tibetan secret hidden by a cherry is the happy life that people in Xizang has become accustomed to.

Five insurances and one gold are "slimming", will social security benefits be affected?


  What is "five insurances and one gold"

  "Five insurances and one fund" refers to: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing accumulation fund.



 


  (Note: The payment standards of "five insurances and one gold" in different places are not completely consistent)

  How thin is "five insurances and one gold"?

  On December 20th, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced that the 25th meeting of the 12th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), which opened a few days ago, reviewed the Decision (Draft) on authorizing the State Council to temporarily adjust and implement the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the administrative areas of 12 pilot cities where maternity insurance and basic medical insurance were combined (hereinafter referred to as the Draft).

  According to the Legal Evening News, on the morning of December 19th, entrusted by the State Council, Minister Yin Weimin of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security explained the Draft. The draft stipulates that 12 places, such as Handan and Neijiang, will be used as pilots to temporarily incorporate maternity insurance funds into the collection and management of employees’ basic medical insurance funds.

  Simply put, it is

  Maternity insurance and basic medical insurance

  This "two risks" have merged.

  After the merger of the two insurances, the future will be four insurances and one gold.

  People who participate in medical insurance can enjoy the treatment of maternity insurance.

  12 pilot cities

  Handan City in Hebei Province, Jinzhong City in Shanxi Province, Shenyang City in Liaoning Province, Taizhou City in Jiangsu Province, Hefei City in Anhui Province, Weihai City in Shandong Province, Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, Yueyang City in Hunan Province, Zhuhai City in Guangdong Province, Chongqing City, Neijiang City in Sichuan Province and Kunming City in Yunnan Province.

  Implementation time

  The pilot scheme is arranged by the State Council, and the implementation period is two years.

  Why should we merge?

  Yin Weimin, Minister of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that maternity insurance and basic medical insurance have something in common in medical services, especially in the payment of medical benefits, and the management services are basically the same. They implement a unified management system for designated medical institutions, unify the scope of medicines, diagnosis and treatment items and service facilities, and use the same information system platform.

  Combining the two insurances meets the requirements of integrated operation of social insurance, which is conducive to improving the mutual assistance ability of social insurance funds, better enhancing the guarantee function of maternity insurance, improving the management efficiency of administrative and handling services, and reducing operating costs. It is a reform attempt to promote the establishment of a fairer and more sustainable social security system.

  The salary you get has not changed much.

  According to the Notice on Decreasing Social Insurance Rates in Phases previously issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance, the implementation of the merger of maternity insurance and basic medical insurance will be clarified, and will be organized and implemented uniformly after the relevant regulations are formulated and promulgated in the State Council.

  Among them, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance are entirely borne by enterprises, and individuals do not need to pay. Therefore, after the merger of maternity insurance and medical insurance, the total cost of personal deposit will not change, and the salary you get will naturally not change.

  What are the benefits to us after the merger of the two insurances?

  Personal aspect

  First of all, the reimbursement process will be more simplified. In the past, medical and maternity reimbursement was not a system, and the hospitalization production expenses of female employees were generally settled by social security funds in real time, but the prenatal examination expenses needed to be reimbursed and settled separately after production. After the merger of the two, the prenatal examination expenses should be reimbursed together with the general medical expenses, usually once a year.

  Second, the maternity check-up, delivery and related expenses can be reimbursed according to the medical insurance standard, which is higher than the current reimbursement amount according to maternity insurance.

  Third, because maternity insurance is paid by the employer, for migrant workers, migrants and other people who can’t buy maternity insurance personally, as long as you buy medical insurance, you can also reimburse certain maternity expenses through social security.

  On the part of employers

  Every month, enterprises don’t have to pay maternity insurance, which reduces the social security premium paid by enterprises, and more funds will be invested in business activities, and the income will increase accordingly. It can be seen that this is another initiative of the state to encourage the development of enterprises. With more profits, their work will be more stable, and maybe the year-end award will increase.
