China pledged Sunday to enhance and improve macro-economic regulation to ensure stable and healthy economic development next year, according to a statement released after the annual Central Economic Work Conference.

The basic tone for next year's macro-regulation should be proactive, stable, prudent and flexible, according to the statement.

The focus is to better handle the relationship among stable and relatively fast economic development, economic restructuring and inflation expectation management in an active and stable way, it said.
