The National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China (NDRC), formerly State Planning Commission and State Development Planning Commission, is a macroeconomic management agency under the Chinese State Council, which has broad administrative and planning control over the Chinese economy. The candidate for the chairperson of the NDRC is nominated by the Premier of the People's Republic of China and approved by the National People's Congress. Since March 2013 the Commission has been headed by Xu Shaoshi.

The NDRC's functions are to study and formulate policies for economic and social development, maintain the balance of economic development, and to guide restructuring of China's economic system.^[1] The NDRC has twenty-six functional departments/bureaus/offices with an authorized staff size of 890 civil servants.

History

The NDRC is a successor to the State Planning Commission (SPC; simplified Chinese: 国家计划委员会; traditional Chinese: 國家計劃委員會; pinyin: Guójiā Jìhuà Wěiyuánhuì and shortened to simplified Chinese: 国家计委; traditional Chinese: 國家計委; pinyin: Guójiā Jìwěi), which had managed China's centrally planned economy since 1952. In 1998, the SPC was renamed as the State Development Planning Commission (SDPC), which then merged with the State Council Office for Restructuring the Economic System (SCORES) and part of the State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) in 2003. Since then the organization further shifted its policy from a planned economy to a socialist market economy. The restructured organization was then merged into a newly created NDRC, which gained greater responsibility and power in overseeing China's economic development.

Principal functions

The principal functions of the NDRC are:^[2]

1. To formulate and implement macroeconomic policies;
2. To monitor and adjust the performance of the national economy;
3. To examine and approve major construction projects;
4. To guide and promote economic restructuring;
5. To coordinate the readjustment of China's industrial structure with development of agriculture and rural economy;
6. To formulate plans for the development of China's energy sector and manage national oil reserves;
7. To promote the Western Region Development Program, which calls for China's economic growth to include the poorer Western provinces;
8. To submit a national economic plan to the National People's Congress on behalf of the State Council.

Also, recently the NDRC has been placed in charge of China's strategic petroleum reserves.
