On the first working day of the Lunar New Year, Hubei Province held a conference to accelerate the construction of important strategic support points for the rise of the central region. Wang Zhonglin, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, attended the conference and emphasized the need to strengthen domestic demand as the main driver, and achieve new progress in transitioning economic growth drivers. Actively adapting to new changes in consumption trends, insisting on focusing on both supply and demand, vigorously optimizing consumer supply, nurturing and expanding new diversified consumption scenarios, strengthening the two main cultural and tourism axes of "Shenwuxia" and "Red and Yellow", and deeply promoting pilot projects in international consumer environment construction, new formats, and new scenes of consumption, effectively boosting consumption demand, and opening up consumption space. Continuously strengthen investment in infrastructure such as water and electricity networks, increase the layout of emerging industries such as integrated circuits, industrial robots, and artificial intelligence, optimize real estate investment, activate private investment, improve investment efficiency, and together with consumption, constitute the "double drive" of boosting internal demand growth.
