The most important point was the country's leaders pledged to let the market play a "decisive role" instead of just a "basic role" in the economy, which will improve the market's status in the economic system.
The communique said the core solution is establishing "the proper relationship between the government and the market". To establish the proper relationship between the government and the market and let the market play the decisive role in the allocation of resources, there are two areas that need to be focused on.
On the one hand, a modern market system needs to be established, which means building "an open and unified market with orderly competition", as the official document said. Unified refers to "an integral market" rather than a fragmented one, so obstacles among various factor markets, including the land market and financial market, need to be removed.
Moreover, an open market contains both opening-up to the outside world and to the domestic market. In particular, the openness of different industries to domestic private capital needs to be increased.
