Steady growth and structural adjustment complement each other. We must work hard to ensure that the economy performs within an appropriate range while promoting economic transformation and upgrading, and maintaining sustainable economic growth.

消费增长点 growth areas of consumption

三公 消费 spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles, and official hospitality
“大众”这个词译得比较巧,不同语境,词汇的含义可能相差很大
大众传播媒介 mass communication's media
大众科学 popular science
大众需要 the demand of the public
大众创业、万众创新 encourage people to start their own businesses and to make innovations
促进养老家政健康消费,壮大信息消费,提升旅游休闲消费,推动绿色消费,稳定住房消费,扩大教育文化体育消费。
We will promote consumption in elderly care, domestic services, and health services, help strengthen spending on information goods and services, raise consumer spending on leisure and tourism, give impetus to green consumption, keep housing consumption stable, and encourage people to spend more on education, culture, and sports.
首句四个动词“促进、壮大、提升、推动”,其实含义非常接近。一些不太讲究的口译场合,甚至都可以用 promote 一而概之。笔译当然不能这样,要灵活多样:strengthen / give impetus to / raise
家政 domestic services
信息消费 spending on information goods and services
全面推进“三网”融合,加快建设光纤网络,大幅提升宽带网络速率,发展物流快递,把以互联网为载体、线上线下互动的新兴消费搞得红红火火。

老朋友 ensure 又出现,真是无处不在,似乎各种总结句、祈愿句都能套这个句型。

搞得红红火火 come to thrive
建立健全消费品质量安全监管、追溯、召回制度,严肃查处制售假冒伪劣行为,保护消费者合法权益。
We will strengthen monitoring, tracking, and recall systems to ensure the safety and quality of consumer goods, severely punish the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy goods, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
“行为” 这类词,往往可以不译,否则会非常繁琐。
严肃查处 severely punish
消费品 consumer goods
假冒伪劣产品 counterfeit and shoddy goods
I'm normally quick to complain about shoddy service.
我通常会迅速地投诉劣质的服务。
These products are shoddily produced.

扩大消费要汇小溪成大河,让亿万群众的消费潜力成为拉动经济增长的强劲动力。
In expanding consumption, we need to ensure every drop of spending builds to create a mighty river, so that the potential contained in an ocean of private consumers will be channeled into a powerful force driving economic growth.
···要···,这种句型,经常译为 In···, we need / it is
拉动经济增长的强劲动力,也是一个偏正短语,这里用的还是 ing 结构。
