Recently, China’s Industrial Bank (CIB) conducted a special Party lecture on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Decision. Lyu Jiajin, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Board, delivered the lecture titled “Implementing the Spirit of the Eight-Point Decision, Practicing the Concept of Finance for the People, and Continuously Strengthening the Leading Role of High-Quality Party Building in High-Quality Development.” Chen Xinjian, Deputy Party Secretary and President, presided over the lecture, with members of the bank’s leadership team in attendance.
The meeting emphasized that the core of work conduct issues lies in the relationship between the Party and the people. To implement the spirit of the Eight-Point Decision, it is essential to deeply grasp the political and people-oriented nature of financial work, consistently adhere to a people-centered value orientation, and advance along the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics. The bank should continuously strengthen theoretical grounding, strictly enforce the “first agenda” system, enhance political construction, improve political judgment, comprehension, and execution, promote a study style that integrates theory with practice, and apply what is learned and using it to drive further learning. The bank should resolutely serve the “national priorities,” align with economic transformation trends, excel in the “Five Major Topics” of finance, and further expand the supply of financial resources. The bank should consciously regard the people’s concerns and expectations as “top priorities”, actively fulfill our social responsibilities, and continuously improve the warmth of financial services.
The meeting highlighted the importance of vigorously combating formalism and bureaucratism to advance high-quality development. By improving research and investigation, strengthening reform and innovation, the bank should solve problems and win market recognition through tangible results. Efforts should be made to streamline documents and reduce meetings, enhance digital service capabilities, and effectively reduce burdens and empower people. The lecture encouraged a culture of responsibility and initiative to motivate the entire bank to strive for excellence. It also emphasized resolutely resisting hedonism and extravagance while actively promoting the fine tradition of diligence and frugality.
The meeting underscored that the Eight-Point Decision is an ironclad rule for long-term governance, and the improvement of work styles is an ongoing journey. The entire bank must fully implement the principles of “strict governance of the Party” and “strict governance of the bank,” thoroughly adhere to the spirit of the Eight-Point Decision, earnestly practice the concept of finance for the people, and continue to drive high-quality development through high-quality Party building, ensuring the effective implementation of the Eight-Point Decision through concrete actions.
