Five departments: Accelerate full coverage of digital consumption facilities and strengthen the construction and renovation of green consumption facilities.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that on October 30, five departments including the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Consumer Infrastructure and Promoting Benign Interaction Between Consumer Investment." Among them, it was pointed out that full coverage of digital consumer facilities should be accelerated. The deep coverage of 5G, gigabit optical networks, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing in consumer venues such as commodity trading markets, commercial districts, and scenic areas should be advanced to achieve high-speed network connectivity, intelligent service awareness, and full-domain data interoperability. Support should be given to building smart business districts, smart markets, and smart stores, promoting the intelligent upgrading of consumer terminals, and popularizing facilities such as smart cash registers, self-service terminals, and smart electronic price tags. Construction of regional consumer service platforms, agricultural product production and sales matching platforms, and online-offline integrated consumer platforms should be encouraged, integrating functions such as commodity sales, service appointments, logistics distribution, promotional activities, and consumer rights protection.
