The year 2025, which just passed, was extraordinary. General Secretary Xi Jinping's personal inspection tour provided Henan with a clear scientific positioning, a historical mission, and strategic guidance for its development. He offered us the warmest care, the strongest encouragement, and the most powerful impetus, greatly inspiring and motivating the hundreds of millions of people in Henan. Over the past year, the entire province has kept his instructions in mind, worked diligently and gratefully, focused on the "1+2+4+N" target and task system, persevered under pressure, and worked diligently and practically. The province achieved a 5.6% increase in GDP, an 8.4% increase in the added value of industries above designated size, a 13.3% increase in industrial investment, a 5.6% increase in total retail sales of consumer goods, a 14.1% increase in total import and export value, and a grain output of 135.097 billion jin. The growth rates of major indicators ranked among the top in the country, successfully completing the main annual targets and tasks, and shouldering the responsibility of being a major economic province.

(I) Making every effort to stabilize employment, enterprises, the market, and expectations. Faced with a severe and complex economic situation, the province held quarterly economic work deployment meetings, earnestly implemented the package of incremental and existing policies issued by the central government, and made every effort to win the summer and autumn development campaign and the winter and spring offensive and protection campaign.

(II) Comprehensively Accelerating Integration into the Construction of a Unified National Market. The basic requirements of "five unifications and one opening" were implemented, a list of 150 annual tasks was established, and 10 key tasks were tackled. The construction of a unified national market circulation hub and a dual circulation fulcrum for domestic and international markets was accelerated. The core functional area of ​​Zhengzhou International Land Port was completed and put into operation, the Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone was approved for expansion, and the central operation area of ​​Zhoukou Port was opened for operation. Zhengzhou was approved as a national pilot city for comprehensive reform of market-oriented allocation of factors of production, and Zhoukou and Zhumadian were included in the national logistics hub layout. The 18th China-Latin America Business Summit and the China (Henan)-ASEAN Food and Agriculture Cooperation and Development Conference were successfully held, among other major economic and trade events.

(III) Making every effort to strengthen governance, prevent risks, and safeguard the bottom line. Emphasis was placed on Party building to lead efficient grassroots governance, innovating the "Party building + grid + big data" model, and continuously improving the urban and rural grassroots governance system. In-depth efforts were made to improve the network ecology and create a clean and upright cyberspace. The reform of small and medium-sized financial institutions was continuously promoted to mitigate risks, and the number of high-risk institutions was significantly reduced. Government debt risks were resolved in an orderly manner, and overdue payments to enterprises were actively cleared. The "guaranteed delivery of housing" task was completed, and the real estate market stabilized. Effective responses were made to severe natural disasters such as high temperatures, droughts, and floods, minimizing disaster losses. In-depth special rectification campaigns were carried out in key areas such as chemical industry, industrial and commercial enterprises, and high-rise buildings, resulting in an 18% decrease in the number of production safety accidents, with no major or above accidents occurring. Overall social security control was continuously strengthened, and the overall social situation remained stable.

(IV) Dedicatedly addressing the concerns and anxieties of the people. Improving people's livelihoods was prioritized as a key aspect of promoting social development. While developing the economy, the quality of life for the people was steadily improved. Fiscal expenditure on people's livelihoods accounted for 73.8% of general public budget expenditures. County-level expenditures on basic public services ("three guarantees") reached 353.46 billion yuan, a 6% increase. Significant progress was made in pollution prevention and control, with PM2.5 concentrations decreasing by 13.7% and the number of days with good air quality increasing by 25 days.

Athletes from our province achieved outstanding results at the 15th National Games, with the men's football team winning the runner-up title in the Chinese Football Association Cup, and the women's volleyball city league igniting the Central Plains.

(V) We rigorously and practically carried out in-depth study and education on the spirit of the Central Committee's Eight-Point Regulation. We adhered to the integrated approach of learning, investigation, and rectification, implemented the important requirement of "five further improvements," and conducted in-depth special rectification campaigns against violations such as excessive drinking and dining, and inaction and lack of accountability, relentlessly strengthening our work style. We continued to deepen the centralized rectification of misconduct and corruption problems affecting the people, and a number of issues infringing upon the interests of the masses were effectively addressed. We comprehensively established and implemented a list of responsibilities for townships (sub-districts), and continued to rectify formalism to reduce the burden on grassroots levels. We adhered to the principle of simultaneous inspection, rectification, and governance, and solidly completed the "second half" of the central inspection.

Over the past year, we have comprehensively and correctly fulfilled our government functions, accepted the supervision of the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee in accordance with the law, proactively accepted the democratic supervision of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, consciously accepted the supervision of the masses and public opinion, strengthened audit and statistical supervision, and deepened the linkage between the government and the courts and the procuratorate. The level of government administration according to law and service efficiency have been continuously improved. We supported the reform and development of national defense and the armed forces, and made solid progress in national defense mobilization, national defense education for all citizens, the joint construction of military and civilian organizations, and veterans' affairs. The undertakings of trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women and children's organizations, science and technology associations, organizations for the disabled, the Red Cross, and charitable organizations have developed healthily. New achievements have been made in meteorology, geology, seismology, ethnic and religious affairs, foreign affairs, overseas Chinese affairs, Hong Kong and Macao affairs, Taiwan affairs, counselors' affairs, literature and history, social sciences, and aid to Xinjiang.

As the saying goes, "One cannot know the difficulty without experiencing it; success may seem easy, but it is hard-won." Looking back, we encountered more difficulties than expected, but achieved better results than anticipated. This is fundamentally due to the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the correct leadership and scientific decision-making of the Provincial Party Committee, the effective supervision and strong support of the Provincial People's Congress, the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, and all sectors of society, and the united struggle and continuous efforts of the people of the province. Here, on behalf of the Provincial People's Government, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of all ethnic groups in the province, the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force stationed in Henan, the democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the people's organizations, and people from all walks of life, as well as to our compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, overseas Chinese, and international friends who care about and support the development of Henan! We are also keenly aware that many contradictions and problems still exist in our development: there are many uncertainties in economic operation, effective demand remains insufficient, some enterprises are facing difficulties in production and operation, it is difficult for the masses to increase employment and income, the contradiction between revenue and expenditure at the grassroots level is prominent, and there are many risks and hidden dangers in key areas. The ability of some localities and cadres to promote high-quality development urgently needs to be improved, and the construction of work style needs to be further strengthened. We will attach great importance to these issues and take effective measures to earnestly address them.
