Price cycle fluctuation since reform and opening up and its enlightenment

Price is a barometer of economic performance. Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed at a high speed, accompanied by severe price fluctuations. By combing and analyzing the past price fluctuations, we can get some enlightenment that is beneficial to the current price work.

Division of price fluctuation cycle in China since reform and opening up

Using the "Valley-Valley" method, the fluctuation of prices (in this paper, consumer price index CPI) since China’s reform and opening up is divided into cycles, and there are five representative price cycles.

The first time was from 1978 to 1983. In this cycle, the peak price appeared in 1980, which was 7.5%, and the gap between peak and valley in the price cycle was 5.5%. The actual situation is: on the one hand, there are obvious situations such as overheated investment and increased consumption expenditure in China, and the increase in fiscal expenditure leads to a serious fiscal deficit; On the other hand, the state has adjusted the unreasonable price system, which has pushed up prices to some extent.

The second time was from 1984 to 1986. At this time, China’s price reform has entered the second stage. The full liberalization of prices has effectively activated the market, and also made the hidden supply shortage and suppressed demand further open. In addition, the overheated economy and uncoordinated economic development have led to an overall increase in prices. In 1985, the price increase reached 9.3%, and the peak-valley gap in the price cycle was 2.8%.

The third time was from 1987 to 1990. The country has implemented loose monetary and fiscal policies, and the macro-economy has recovered. However, the deep-seated problems accumulated in economic operation for many years have become increasingly prominent. In addition, in 1988, the price rose by 18.8%, and in 1990 it dropped sharply to 3.1%, and the peak-valley gap in the price cycle was as high as 15.7%.

The fourth time was from 1991 to 1999. This is the longest and largest price cycle since the reform and opening up, and the peak-valley gap is as high as 25.5%. Among them, from 1992 to 1994, the growth rate of the total investment in fixed assets of the whole society reached 44.4%, 61.8% and 30.4% respectively, and there was a nationwide real estate fever, which led to the price increase of 24.1% in 1994, which was the highest year since the founding of New China.

The fifth time was from 2007 to 2009. During this period, the price gap between peak and valley was 6.6%, and the main reasons for price fluctuation were the price increase of agricultural and sideline products such as pork and the price fluctuation of international commodities.

The main factors leading to price fluctuation

The price fluctuation since the reform and opening up is the result of many factors at home and abroad. First, the impact of external shocks on price fluctuations. In the past 10 years, the international economic situation has been turbulent, the drastic fluctuation of commodity prices and the weakening of external demand have formed an impact on China’s economy, and domestic prices have fluctuated due to the impact of the international economy. Second, from the perspective of China’s classified price index, food prices have significantly led the CPI, and the structural increase is obvious. Third, the factors of asset price fluctuation are mixed. In the process of establishing and perfecting China’s socialist market economic system, both real estate prices and stock prices have experienced abnormal and violent fluctuations, which inevitably lead to price fluctuations. In addition, some policy factors also play an important role in the price cycle fluctuation.

Thoughts and suggestions on stabilizing prices

At present, China’s prices are relatively stable, but there are still some uncertainties and risks, so we need to attach great importance to and do a good job in price work to keep the overall price level basically stable. First, optimize the monetary policy system and maintain a stable market environment. While regulating the money supply, the central bank should pay attention to the transformation of the intermediate goal of monetary policy to the marketization of interest rates; Fine-tune the interest rate through open market business to maintain the stability of the money market environment. The second is to increase the strategic reserve scale of energy, minerals and other commodities, and ease the resource bottleneck in China. Further improve the commodity futures and spot markets, establish an international pricing center in China, and gradually acquire the pricing power of international commodities. Third, vigorously develop modern agriculture, improve the reserve mechanism of grain and agricultural and sideline products, and improve the supply capacity of grain and food. Promote the construction of agricultural and sideline products circulation system, reduce the circulation cost of agricultural and sideline products, and improve the circulation efficiency of agricultural and sideline products. The fourth is to promote the all-round development of capital market tools such as stocks, bonds, futures and financial derivatives, expand the breadth and depth of the capital market and diversify investment risks. Formulate a reasonable real estate pricing mechanism to promote the sustained and healthy development of the real estate market.

CCTV News:According to the second national sampling survey of disabled people, congenital factors account for 9.57% of the disabling factors. Among congenital disabilities, developmental defects and non-hereditary disabilities account for the highest proportion, reaching 68.91%. Therefore, it is very important to prevent disability from the source of life, and now a three-level prevention and control system has been formed in Tianjin before pregnancy, before and after childbirth.

Grandma Wu Cailan:Now I feel that my children can sing and say ballads, and the intonation is ok, so I am particularly happy.

Li Yi, Chief of Children’s Rehabilitation Department of Tianjin Disabled Rehabilitation Service Center:Early screening is very important. After birth, if we can find the child’s hearing problems as soon as possible, and equip her with hearing AIDS or cochlear implants as soon as possible, the time of hearing loss will be shortened.

Xixi’s healthy growth has benefited from Tianjin’s continuous efforts to prevent and control birth defects in the past ten years. It has successively implemented the women’s and children’s health action plan, promotion plan and promotion plan, and established a three-level prevention and control system from pre-pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum.

Shao Ping, Director of Tianjin Maternal and Child Health Center:We use all the medical resources and rehabilitation resources in Tianjin to prevent the disabled. Take hearing impairment screening as an example. The initial screening is done in maternity hospitals and midwifery institutions, and the hearing screening is done at the bedside. If the child’s hearing screening fails, he will come to our center for diagnosis, forming a complete workflow.

In addition, through the combination of online and offline publicity, Tianjin enables pregnant women and parents of newborns to keep abreast of screening-related knowledge and actively participate in screening projects. Up to now, the average coverage rate of screening for 15 diseases in Tianjin has reached over 98%.

National Development and Reform Commission: CPI rose by 1.7% in the first half of the year, and prices continued to operate within a reasonable range.

Cctv newsOn July 14th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a media briefing on the economic situation in the first half of the year. Wan Jinsong, director of the price department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the meeting that since the beginning of this year, international energy and food prices have risen sharply, and inflation in major economies such as the United States and Europe has remained high. In recent months, the consumer price index (CPI) has risen by more than 8%, a record high in the past 40 years or on record. Last night, the CPI in June released by the United States rose as high as 9.1%. However, China’s prices continued to operate in a reasonable range. In the first half of the year, CPI rose by an average of 1.7%, which was significantly lower than that of other major economies, in sharp contrast to the high international inflation.

Wan Jinsong said that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to stabilizing prices. Since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has thoroughly implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, continuously strengthened the construction of the production, supply, storage and marketing system of important commodities such as grain and coal, and responded to the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of domestic supply and stable prices, effectively ensuring the basic stability of prices. In terms of important livelihood commodities such as grain, we will make every effort to stabilize grain production, strengthen regulation and control to stabilize pig production capacity, strengthen the connection between vegetable production and marketing, and do everything possible to ensure the supply and price stability of important livelihood commodities. Since the Ukrainian crisis, China’s food prices have risen by about 1.4% on average, far lower than the increase of 7.5%-9.5% in the United States and Europe. In terms of energy, China has continuously increased coal production and supply, improved the coal market price formation mechanism, guided coal prices to operate in a reasonable range, stabilized electricity prices and energy costs by stabilizing coal prices, and the prices of electricity and gas for residents have always remained basically stable. However, the electricity and gas prices of residents in major economies such as the United States and Europe have risen sharply. For example, in May, the electricity price in the euro zone rose by about 30% year-on-year, and the gas price rose by about 50% year-on-year.
