China Youth online Beijing, March 20 (China Youth daily online reporter Liu Shixin Tracy ? green) "fiscal spending is no longer tied to GDP growth," details of this appeared in the budget this year is in the nondescript, but today was the Minister of finance Lou Jiwei in "China Development Forum" on for about 15 minutes.
Lou Jiwei, the reforms are pushing ahead with tax reform package in China are just one small step in, but it means that the financial sector to be more efficient in managing state money bags.
On the just-concluded CPPCC, national people's Congress in this year's budget reports were reviewed, when representative also noted "fiscal spending is no longer tied to GDP growth". Delegates also raised concerns, if expenditure is no longer tied to GDP growth, some spending focused on how protection?
He responded today, in the past, in order to ensure that fiscal expenditure in education, science and technology and people's livelihood, in the formulation of budget, often use "hook". For instance, education expenditure to GDP reached 4%, and so on.
The linkage model with Chinese characteristics. Lou Jiwei said that the Treasury combed it and China's education, science and technology, agriculture, medical and health, social security, culture and family planning belongs to 7 categories, such as fiscal expenditure and GDP-linked, 48% per cent of the country's financial expenditure.
Mr Lou said, if not 18 session bulletin requirements linked to clean up matters, each of the departments in comparison, demanding more hooks, who thinks his job is the focus of fiscal spending.
In budget management, financial expenditures GDP mode actually brings about the idle and waste of funds.
Lou Jiwei said that the 48% spending is linked to, and lacked the necessary flexibility in the use of financial funds. In particular, China is such a vast, local economic conditions are quite different, one linked to the cookie-cutter model made a lot of jokes.
In his speech, he cited an example to explain the irrationality of hooks one size fits. He said usually once school chairs 56 is more appropriate, but many schools in Beijing and Shanghai, 34, will have to change. Because the GDP base in these cities, accounting for GDP4% expenditures did not burn. But in some remote areas in the West, 4% is far from enough to meet the demand.
In addition, pegging the financial management model and the amendments to the budget law is contrary to the. Lou Jiwei said that from January 1, 2015, begin to implement the new budget law emphasizes the principle of budget performance, and, if the performance of a particular item of expenditure, should not be spending, in accordance with this principle, linked to inefficient expenses should be cancelled.
Pattern of expenditures GDP will also cause the Treasury to spare. Lou Jiwei said that in recent years, the Audit Commission has strengthened the auditing of stock funds. The audit found that a lot of idle funds, deposited on account is linked and is not practical on the ground, some need more money but not in some ways does not need so much money, but hook had to arrange flowers put out there. Lou Jiwei, the hook support model will lead to special financial transfer payments to clean up, the allotment of fragmentation.
Lou said, there are also some expenditures is the legal basis of the project, should be modified in due course.

财政部长：财政支出不再与GDP增幅挂钩|财政支出|楼继伟|GDP_新闻资讯
原标题：楼继伟：财政支出不再与GDP增幅挂钩
中青在线北京3月20日电（中国青年报·中青在线记者 刘世昕 陈婧）“财政支出不再与GDP增速挂钩”这个出现在今年预算报告中毫不起眼的细节，却被财政部部长楼继伟今天在“中国发展高层论坛”上足足讲了15分钟。
在楼继伟看来，这项改革虽然只是我国当前正在推进的财税体制改革一揽子计划中的一小步，但却意味着财政部门在管理国家的钱袋子时要更加高效。
刚刚结束的两会上，全国人大代表对今年的预算报告进行了审查，当时也有代表注意到“财政支出不再与GDP增速挂钩”的表述。由此也引发了代表们的担忧，如果财政支出不再挂钩GDP增速，一些重点的民生支出怎么保障？
楼继伟今天特别回应说，过去，为了保证教育、科技等民生领域的财政支出，我国在制定预算时，往往会采用“挂钩”的方式。比如，教育的支出要达到GDP的4%等。
这种挂钩模式也是中国特色。楼继伟说，财政部梳理了一下，我国有教育、科技、农业、医疗卫生、社保、文化、计划生育等7大类财政支出都属于与GDP挂钩，占到了全国财政支出的48%。
楼继伟坦言，如果不是十八届三中全会的公报要求要清理挂钩事项，各个部门还在攀比，要求增加挂钩事项，谁都认为自己的工作是财政支出的重点。
在预算管理部门看来，财政支出挂钩GDP的模式其实带来了财政资金的闲置和浪费。
楼继伟说，48%的支出都被挂钩了，财政资金使用中缺乏必要的灵活性。尤其中国幅员辽阔，各地经济状况差异较大，一刀切的挂钩模式闹出了许多笑话。
在发言中，楼继伟举了一个例子来解释挂钩一刀切的不合理性。他说，通常学校的桌椅板凳五六年换一次比较合适，但北京和上海的不少学校，三四年就得换一次。因为这些城市的GDP基数大，占GDP4%的支出根本花不完。但在西部的一些边远地区，4%则远远不能满足需求。
此外，这种挂钩的财政管理模式与修订后的预算法是相违背的。楼继伟说，从2015年1月1日起开始执行的新预算法强调预算的绩效原则，并要求，如果某一项支出的绩效较差，就不应该安排支出，按照这个原则，低效挂钩类支出都应该取消。
支出挂钩GDP的模式还会导致财政资金的闲置。楼继伟介绍说，近年来，审计署加大了对存量资金的审计力度。审计发现，大量资金闲置、沉淀在账上就是因为挂钩事项和当地并不切合实际，有的方面是需要安排更多资金的却没有，有的方面不需要那么多的资金，但是挂钩了就不得不安排，花不出去放在那里。在楼继伟看来，这种挂钩式的支持模式还会导致财政专项转移支付项目难以清理，财政资金的碎片化。
楼继伟说，目前还有一些支出挂钩项目是有法律依据的，应该适时进行修改。
