Henan's economy has shown a stable and positive trend, but compared with its brother provinces, the pressure on growth is still unabated. Therefore, it is also necessary to take advantage of the momentum, earnestly focus on changing the mode of economic growth, and strive to satisfactorily achieve the annual growth target. Specifically, it should be strengthened from the following aspects.
We should change the mindset of relying on investment, especially infrastructure investment, and earnestly change the mode of economic growth, so that growth can be pinned on innovation, manufacturing, and consumption.
Intensify the transformation of resource-based industries. Henan is a typical resource-based region, and it is particularly important to increase the transformation of resource-based industries for the high-quality development of Henan's economy.
Promote industrialization and urbanization through agricultural modernization. At present, the construction of high-standard farmland demonstration areas being implemented in Henan Province will of course have the direct effect of promoting agricultural modernization, and the indirect effect will be to drive a new round of industrialization and urbanization.
Break the dualistic structure and seek impetus for deepening reform. Smooth internal circulation should not only break the local monopoly and inter-regional barriers, realize the smooth flow of inter-regional elements, but also break the dual structure between urban and rural areas, and realize the smooth flow of people, logistics and information between urban and rural areas.
Leave room for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to develop. Change the mindset of industrial agglomeration area as the only industrial agglomeration space in the county, and plan more small non-agricultural industry agglomeration points in the appropriate space in the county, so as to meet the needs of the development of a large number of entrepreneurial and employment subjects with low threshold.
Pay attention to the cultivation of private entrepreneurs, so that private entrepreneurs can inject impetus and vitality into the revitalization of Henan for the rise of the Central Plains.

The second quarter is the "critical period" of economic development throughout the year, the "window period" for the release of policy effects, and the "golden period" for project construction.
Entering the second quarter, a new round of major policies such as large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods formulated by the state will be implemented on the ground, which is an important window period for the concentrated release of policy dividends.
