A: In order to strengthen the overall planning for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development arranges a special chapter for the first time to discuss promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and accelerating the transformation of development mode; Related to this, it also emphasizes supporting and guiding the development of non-public economy again. The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Industrial Transformation and Upgrading compiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and relevant departments also puts forward the tasks and requirements for improving the development quality of small and medium-sized enterprises and the development level of "specialized innovation". At the same time, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is also facing historical opportunities and severe challenges brought about by great international and domestic economic changes. On the one hand, the market space continues to expand, the development field continues to expand, policies and measures continue to improve, and social services continue to strengthen. On the other hand, the task of structural adjustment is under great pressure, the production and operation costs are rising, the constraints of resources and environment are increasing, the market competition is more intense, and the development environment still needs to be further optimized. It is imperative for small and medium-sized enterprises to change their mode, adjust their structure and improve their level. Making a growth plan is not only the requirement of implementing the Twelfth Five-Year Plan and industrial transformation and upgrading plan, but also the need of promoting the sustainable and healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Q: What are the main considerations in preparing and implementing the growth plan?
A: First, carry forward the past and enrich the connotation. The Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development proposes to implement the growth project of small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2006, with the consent of the State Council, a national symposium on the work of small and medium-sized enterprises was held. In the past five years, the implementation of the growth project of small and medium-sized enterprises has gradually become an important banner for all regions and departments to promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has played an important role in promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Considering that the special plan for small and medium-sized enterprises has not been implemented at the national level before, the growth plan takes into account the working basis of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan from name to content, and puts forward that continuing to implement the growth project for small and medium-sized enterprises is conducive to maintaining the continuity of policies. At the same time, it also deepened the connotation of "growth" according to the new situation of economic development in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan and the requirements of scientific development and transformation of development mode. The growth plan proposes that the implementation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises should take Scientific Outlook on Development as the theme, speed up the transformation of economic development mode as the main line, constantly improve the growth quality and efficiency around the word "excellent", and realize the growth goal of becoming stronger and better for a long time.
Second, fully focus on the industry. Our department is the lead department responsible for the work of small and medium-sized enterprises in the State Council, and it undertakes the macro-guidance function for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Growth planning needs to clarify the national strategic intention, the government's work priorities, guide the behavior of market players, reflect the development requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises, and inspire the whole society. Therefore, the overall thinking, main objectives and tasks of growth planning strive to reflect the overall height and comprehensive requirements. However, considering that small and medium-sized enterprises cover three industries and involve many departments, in order to highlight the key points, connect and supplement with other plans, the key projects and key tasks of growth planning mainly focus on the work that needs to be carried out or coordinated, focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises in industry and some producer services. This not only reflects the leading role of our department, but also coordinates the relationship between departments and improves the operability.
Third, give consideration to "quality" and "quantity" to ensure employment. The State Council's Opinions on Further Promoting the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (Guo Fa [2009] No.36) puts forward that small and medium-sized enterprises are an important force in national economic and social development, and promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is an important foundation for maintaining the steady and rapid development of the national economy and a major strategic task related to the national economy, people's livelihood and social stability. The Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development proposes to promote the transformation of the development mode of small and medium-sized enterprises, vigorously develop labor-intensive industries, service industries and small and micro enterprises, and do everything possible to expand the scale of employment and entrepreneurship. Therefore, under the condition of emphasizing the quality and efficiency of growth, growth planning also reflects the requirements of quantitative growth. For example, in the guiding ideology, it is proposed that we should vigorously support the development of small and micro enterprises, take further enhancing the vitality of entrepreneurial innovation and absorbing employment capacity as five main tasks, and implement the "small business establishment plan", which clarifies the requirements for developing small and medium-sized enterprises and labor-intensive enterprises in many places.

Q: What is the general idea to promote the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises?
A: To promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, we should not only adhere to scientific development, change the development mode, improve the overall quality and level of the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, but also reflect our own characteristics, pay more attention to the construction of external environment and service system, and pay more attention to supporting the development of small and micro enterprises.
