Huang Hanquan, from the China Macroeconomic Research Institute, answered questions from Securities Times reporters: The construction of a unified national large market is an important part of building a new development pattern.

Huang Hanquan, the Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of the China Macro Economic Research Institute, answered questions from Securities Times reporters at the Xi Jinping Economic Thought 2025 Conference on July 30th, saying that the construction of a unified national market is closely related to the establishment of a new development pattern. Both internal and external circulation need to be conducted through the market. The larger the market scale and scope, the more elements and resources can flow in a broader and more efficient space. The construction of a unified national market is an important part of building a new development pattern. Currently, the construction of a unified national market still faces some obstacles and hurdles. Local protectionism and market barriers are just superficial problems, fundamentally it is a problem of institutional mechanisms. By increasing efforts in performance evaluation, fiscal and taxation systems, statistics, etc., we can break through the bottlenecks and obstacles, and smoothly promote the construction of a unified national market, helping to accelerate the establishment of a new development pattern.
