2022-10-18

Formulate the industrial investment promotion plan, leave room for system innovation and tolerance, and continuously introduce the enterprise rescue policies... In recent years, with the implementation of the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, Hainan has steadily promoted the construction of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics, and constantly enhanced the momentum of international trade and economic development.

By the end of August, the number of existing market entities had exceeded 2 million; In the first half of the year, the trade in goods increased by 56% year on year, and the actually utilized foreign capital was 1.59 billion US dollars, up 67.4% year on year. A number of large transnational enterprises settled down... Since the implementation of the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, Hainan Free Trade Port has made remarkable achievements. In recent years, Hainan has steadily promoted the construction of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics and constantly enhanced the driving force of economic development by adjusting the industrial structure, introducing institutional innovation and optimizing the business environment.

Adjust the structure to enhance the toughness

On September 7, a HU787 international trade cargo charter flight loaded with commodities took off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, and it took 12.5 hours to fly directly to Haikou Meilan International Airport, which is a freight route for duty-free goods from outlying islands to Haikou.

"Tax exemption for outlying islands" is only one of Hainan's development policies. In recent years, Hainan has optimized its industrial structure and enhanced its development flexibility by relying on "3+1", "land, sea and air" and "three articles", namely, "tourism, modern services, high-tech"+"tropical efficient agriculture"; Seed industry, deep-sea, aerospace; Tax exemption on outlying islands, licensed medical treatment, international education.

On July 6, Hainan commercial space launch site was started in Wenchang, Hainan; On September 2, insurance covering the infringement loss of new plant variety rights was launched in Sanya, Hainan; On September 25, "Exploration II" returned to Sanya after completing the sea trial mission, and realized the in-situ observation of the island reef submarine landslide. According to statistics, Hainan has invested more than 20 billion yuan to support the construction of three scientific and technological innovation highlands of "land, sea and air" through public budget, government bonds, etc. since 2020.

New breakthroughs have also been made in traditional tourism. In 2021, the province will receive 81.04 million tourists and achieve a tourism revenue of 138.43 billion yuan, an increase of 25.5% and 58.6% respectively. The modern service industry is driving new economic momentum. In 2021, the added value of the provincial service industry (tertiary industry) will increase by 15.3% year on year, 4.1 percentage points higher than the overall economy.

At the beginning of this year, Hainan studied and formulated the Action Plan for the Year of Industrial Investment Improvement, which requires vigorously promoting the "3+1" industrial development and adhering to "project driven". In 2022, Hainan Province plans to invest in 669 industrial projects, with a total investment of 667.1 billion yuan.

We should not only "practice internal skills", but also "strengthen external forces". Two sessions of China International Consumer Goods Expositions were successfully held. Hainan's export-oriented economy continued to grow at a high rate. In 2021, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises increased by 92.6%.

According to statistics, the import and export of Hainan's international trade in goods in the first eight months of this year was 125.75 billion yuan, up 45% year on year. Among them, imports and exports to countries along the "the Belt and Road" reached 45.57 billion yuan, an increase of 89.9%, accounting for 36.2%.

Pay more attention to system innovation

In August, the head of the Zhongfu Sanya duty-free shop was worried: a batch of imported duty-free goods were detained in Haikou Customs and could not be transported to Sanya; The goods sold on the front line are almost overtime, but they can't be delivered all the time. What should I do?

After receiving the help, the Macun Port Customs under Haikou Customs decided to set up a temporary duty-free goods warehouse for it through negotiation: 99 duty-free goods sold online in duty-free stores will be stored in Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Area first, and then directly transported out of the area to consumers. This new exploration of the regulatory model is known as "bonded warehousing transferred to offshore duty-free". As of September 6, the Macun Port Customs has completed 5674 pieces of duty-free goods under supervision under this supervision mode, with a value of 5.92 million yuan.

How to make innovation normal? The Organization Department of Hainan Provincial Party Committee specially issued the Measures for Tolerance and Correction of Public Officials in Hainan Free Trade Port to encourage front-line practitioners to "lay down the burden" and help innovation with systems, laws and disciplines.

Since the implementation of the Hainan Free Trade Port Law a year ago, more than 150 policy documents focusing on trade and investment liberalization and facilitation have come into force in Hainan, and more than 120 institutional innovation achievements have been introduced. In Yangpu Port, five systems, including the international ship registration of "one port for the whole island" and the loading process of bonded oil supply ships, were introduced.

On September 17, at the press conference on institutional innovation achievements of Hainan Free Trade Port, a case named "a new approach to cross provincial collaborative transnational introduction of marine aquatic germplasm resources" was very eye-catching. It turns out that Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City has strengthened scientific research and talent exchanges with Yantai area of Shandong Free Trade Zone inwards, and strengthened cooperation with Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea outwards, building a "corridor of aquatic seed industry". Hainan grouper has achieved the integrated scale production of breeding and promotion in Yantai area, with an annual output of more than 10 million seedlings; The breeding cycle of characteristic aquatic species such as grouper has been shortened from 24 months to 8 months... This kind of aquatic seed industry ecosystem with deep integration of innovation chain and industry chain provides a new path and new experience for building China's local mariculture industry.

According to statistics, Hainan has released 123 cases of 13 batches of system innovation. In 2020, Hainan proposed 60 institutional integration and innovation tasks in three years around the key areas of free trade port construction. Now 55 tasks have been completed or basically completed, with a completion rate of 92%.

Optimize environmental stability confidence

Affected by typhoons in summer, the weather in Hainan is changeable. The rainwater and sewage on the construction site want to be discharged into the municipal pipe network on the adjacent road, but this road has just been built and has not been accepted. What should we do? When the person in charge of the international talent community project in Jiangdong New Area, Haikou City, was too anxious to know what to do, Li Chang came. His identity was "project service specialist".

"A commissioner is a person who specializes in solving the difficulties of an enterprise." Li Chang said. Under his coordination, there was a solution to the problem that day. Moreover, 129 projects under construction in Jiangdong New Area are all equipped with project service specialists like Li Chang. On September 18, Hainan launched the service action of "10000 cadres under enterprises", and the service specialists are just the innovative approach of Haikou City.

Ten thousand cadres work in enterprises, give financial discount to loans for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises to return to work, launch epidemic prevention and control business interruption loss compensation insurance, and customize "service packages" for key international trade import and export enterprises... Since September, Hainan has successively introduced more than 10 enterprise rescue policies. Among them, only the Special Measures for Stabilizing the Economy and Helping Enterprises to Relieve Development in Hainan Province (Version 2.0) put forward 34 measures focusing on 6 aspects, including upgrading, deferral, fee reduction, subsidies, credit and consumption. On October 17, a letter of thanks from Tunchang Fuquan Water Supply Company was sent to the provincial party committee, thanking the rescue policy for delaying the payment of 160000 yuan of electricity bills and 110000 yuan of social security fees in September, which reduced the expenditure by nearly 300000 yuan.

Since the construction of the trading port, Hainan has always put the optimization of the business environment as the top priority. It has implemented 111 business licensing matters involving enterprises under the notification and commitment system. The electronic certificates for the approval of engineering construction projects have been 100% covered, and the business start-up time has been reduced to one working day. In August this year, 68314 new market entities were added in Hainan, up 63.63% year on year; From January to August, a total of 610000 new market entities were added in Hainan, and the actual market entities in the province have exceeded 2 million. At the same time, investors from 126 countries and regions have set up enterprises in Hainan Free Trade Port, laying out the new development of international trade.
