Issue The 2026 strategy seeks a simultaneous rebound in potential growth and an end to polarisation

Summary

The government presents 2026 as the first year of a great economic leap under a master plan of annual economic management. Its stated goal is to shift the growth paradigm so that a rebound in potential growth and the overcoming of polarisation are achieved at the same time, with all citizens growing as the nation grows. Externally it aims to respond to the reordering of the global economic order, including AI and green transitions, Chinese technological catch-up, national-first policies and value chain crises. Internally it seeks to ease inequality and gaps and to break vicious cycles of competition and conflict, achieving shared, sustainable and super-innovative growth. It also plans an action plan for the leap within the current administration in the first half of 2026 and a long-term future vision toward 2045, the centenary of liberation.
