The Central Economic Work Conference (simplified Chinese: ????????; traditional Chinese: ????????) is an annual meeting held in the People's Republic of China which sets the national agenda for the Economy of China and its financial and banking sectors. It is convened by the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the State Council following themes, keywords, set by the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China. As of 2012, the meetings, which are closed, were being held for 2 or 3 days during the 2nd or 3rd week of December.
The keywords for the December, 2012 conference were "healthy development"; in 2011 they were "steady growth". The theme healthy development reflects a change in concern from mere growth to restructuring of the economy in sustainable ways. Dealing with overreaching by "privileged people", anti-corruption efforts, was one theme expressed by official Chinese media.
