本次國務院常務會議后發布的公告指出，依法平等保護公有制和非公有制經濟產權，加強企業自主經營權和合法財產所有權保護。對居民產權的保護也將加強。

會議指出，貫徹黨的十九大精神，完善產權保護制度（improving property rights protection system），依法全面保護各類產權（comprehensively protect property rights in all areas in accordance with law），是建設現代化經濟體系、健全社會主義市場經濟體制的重要內容，有利于增強市場主體創業創新活力和投資意愿，培育壯大新動能，促進擴大開放，推動經濟持續健康發展。
