中国人民银行副行长陆磊：

Good afternoon, friends from the media. Thank you very much for your longstanding attention to and coverage of China’s financial sector and the work of the People’s Bank of China. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, reform and development of the financial sector achieved a series of major accomplishments. Party leadership and Party building throughout the financial system were comprehensively strengthened; the quality and effectiveness of services for the real economy steadily improved; reform and opening-up continued to advance; risks in key areas were properly handled; regulatory shortcomings were addressed more quickly; financial opening-up continued; and the sector’s capacity to serve the overall interests of the country improved markedly.

各位媒体朋友，大家下午好。非常感谢大家长期以来对金融事业和人民银行工作的关注和报道。“十四五”期间，在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下，金融业改革发展取得了一系列重大成就。金融系统党的领导和党的建设全面加强，服务实体经济质效不断增强，改革开放持续推进，重点领域风险妥善处置，监管短板加快补齐，金融开放持续推进，服务大局能力明显提升。

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the environment for China’s economic and financial development faces profound and complex changes. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements on financial work have charted the course for building China into a financial power and for financial reform and development. To fully implement the guiding principles of the 20th Party Congress and the plenary sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee, carry out the decisions and arrangements of the Central Financial Work Conference, and meet the requirements of the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the Central Financial Office and financial authorities, under the unified arrangements of the Central Financial Commission, jointly formulated and officially issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for Building China into a Financial Power. This is the overall strategy and specific blueprint for financial work during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

“十五五”时期，我国经济金融发展环境面临深刻复杂变化。习近平总书记关于金融工作的重要论述为金融强国建设、金融改革发展指明了方向。为全面贯彻党的二十大和二十届历次全会精神，深入落实中央金融工作会议决策部署，根据“十五五”规划《纲要》要求，在中央金融委统一部署下，中央金融办会同各金融单位制定的《金融强国建设“十五五”规划》正式出台。这是“十五五”时期金融工作的总体方略和具体谋划。

The Plan adheres to the general thrust of its work, which is “risk-proof, well-regulated and high-quality development”, and focuses on the high-quality development of the financial sector itself, based on the effective prevention and management of financial risks and the strengthening of financial regulation.

《规划》坚持稳中求进工作总基调，坚持“防风险、强监管、促高质量发展”的工作主线，突出在有效防范化解金融风险、强化金融监管的基础上，在服务经济社会高质量发展过程中，实现金融业自身的高质量发展。

The overall objective is to form, by 2030, the general framework for a modern financial system that is unique to China. Financial regulation and control policies are coordinated and effective, the structure of the financial system is rationalized, financial regulation is robust, financial risk prevention and control is rigorous and efficient, financial support for the quality and efficiency of economic and social development is increasing, the financial rule of law system is complete, financial openness is steadily expanding and the international influence and competitiveness of the financial sector continues to improve. By 2035, a modern, highly adaptable, competitive and inclusive Chinese financial system will have been largely completed, laying a solid foundation for the building of financial power.
