On October 8, the Xi'an Municipal Government issued the "Several Measures on Promoting Effective Investment in Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"). The "Measures" start from industrial funds, industrial parks, industrial land reserves and supply, special funds, etc., and combine them with actual industrial conditions to further promote the expansion of effective industrial investment scale.
Among them, the "Measures" mentioned that set up a Xi'an Industrial (Pillar Industry) doubling guidance fund of 10 billion yuan; form a fund cluster with a total scale of no less than 100 billion yuan; and strive to drive the investment scale of pillar industry projects exceeding 300 billion yuan.
It is understood that in the past ten years, the total output value of large-scale industries in Guanzhong has increased by 10% annually, and the total output value has increased by 73.6%. Among them, Xi'an's strategic emerging industries in industrial areas above the designated size achieved a total industrial output value of 423.85 billion yuan in 2021, accounting for 56.9% of the province.
Researcher at the Institute of Economics of Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences Jiang Tao told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, "With the changes in the overall economic environment, Xi'an's industrial economy development will inevitably usher in new challenges. The above-mentioned "Measures" are an adjustment and adaptation. For example, in terms of capital, Xi'an has often experienced "spraying pepper" for markets and enterprises in the past. Although this move has promoted the development of some industries and enterprises to a certain extent, it is far less effective than in-depth research and precise implementation of policies."
Jiang Tao believes that Xi'an's industrial economy has long maintained a situation where state-owned enterprises are the main body, foreign capital has performed well, while the private economy is still insufficient. For different enterprises and sub-industry, the policies issued this time are more accurate and detailed, further promoting the realization of the goal of "state-owned enterprises dare to do things, private enterprises dare to venture, and foreign capital dare to invest".
10 billion yuan guidance fund supports
The above "Measures" focus on establishing an industrial fund system, strengthening the use of special funds, and supporting project investment promotion measures have attracted a lot of attention.
Taking the industrial fund system as an example, firstly, by revitalizing existing funds and coordinating investment in various industrial funds, a 10 billion yuan Xi'an Industrial (Pillar Industry) Double Guidance Fund was established.
Secondly, to play the leading role of state-owned assets, relevant municipal state-owned investment platforms have set up special pillar industry funds with a single scale of no less than 5 billion yuan around the six pillar industries; to guide 19 key industrial chain leaders to initiate the establishment of sub-funds of various industrial chains with a single scale of no less than 3 billion yuan, and form a fund cluster with a total scale of no less than 100 billion yuan.
Finally, we actively introduce financial resources such as banks, guarantees, and trusts to build a linkage cooperation mechanism for "investment, loans and guarantees", and strive to drive the investment scale of pillar industry projects to exceed 300 billion yuan.
"At present, state-owned assets are still an important support for Xi'an's industrial economy." Jiang Tao told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, "Specifically, a considerable number of local state-owned enterprises have relatively strong financial strength, but they still have shortcomings in capital operation incubation or resource utilization capabilities. For these enterprises, relevant policy guidance is very necessary." In terms of enterprise investment promotion, the "Measures" also mentioned that for industrial fixed asset investment projects with a total of more than 500 million yuan in districts and counties and more than 1 billion yuan in development zones in accordance with industrial planning, districts, counties and development zones will be given priority to support the development of enterprises in a combination of "equity + debt + subsidy".
In addition, Jiang Tao believes that the method of "one matter, one discussion" and "one enterprise, one policy" is more preferred. Compared with the "spraying pepper" situation that has occurred before, 's method avoids waste of government funds and policies on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can truly understand and solve the real demands of enterprises, thereby further promoting their development.
Land security
In addition to the financial support, land supply has also given many favorable policies. This "Measures" optimize and guarantee from the two aspects of industrial land scale and industrial land supply. In terms of industrial land scale, Xi'an has anchored the "1/3" goal. Specifically, of the city's annual land reserve supply plan, no less than 1/3 of it is used for industrial projects.The industrial land restrictions within the planned industrial block line are adjusted to other commercial land such as residential and commercial areas, leaving enough room for development for industry.
In addition, priority is given to the supply of industrial land. Land supply will give priority to the preparation of industrial land transfer plans and prioritize the organization of industrial land transfer.
"In the future, urban land will inevitably be a scarce resource, especially in the development of the industrial economy, and it is easy to be trapped here." Jiang Tao told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, "How to supply land and which enterprises should be supplied are very likely to cause controversy. Whether from the perspective of urban development or industrial development, 'average per mu of hero' is the best choice."
It is worth mentioning that this "Measures" also links the supply of land for regional industrial projects with residential and commercial land. Among them, districts and development zones that have completed the annual industrial project land supply plan and have made great contributions to industrial development will be given extra points in the annual industrial development comprehensive assessment; those that have not been completed will be reduced in the corresponding proportion of the residential and commercial land reserve supply plan.
Previously, Zhejiang has repeatedly stated that the proportion of industrial land transfer shall not be less than 30%. The reason behind this move, local media reports mentioned: "If a piece of construction land of about 50 acres is used for real estate development, the income of land fiscal is about 1-2 billion yuan; if it is an industrial land carrying the manufacturing industry, the land transfer fee may be only 50 million yuan."
merchants seek profits is the norm. Jiang Tao believes that in this context, the policy "escorts" for industrial land is very critical. . In the face of an industrial land, it is crucial to improve development confidence and higher profit expectations for enterprises. At present, the expectations of industrial land development are obviously not comparable to residential development, and policy guidance and support are more important to enterprises.
further improves the business environment
In fact, in the past decade, the growth rate of industrial economy in Shaanxi Province has been steadily improving. Data from the Bureau of Statistics shows that from 2012 to 2021, the growth rate of industrial added value of or above in Shaanxi Province was basically consistent with the overall national trend, and shifted from high-speed to medium-high-speed.
Among them, from 2012 to 2014, the industrial growth rate maintained a double-digit rapid growth trend. In 2015, the industrial growth rate began to shift, and gradually transitioned from high-speed growth to a medium-to-high-speed growth range of about 7%. From 2019 to 2020, the industrial growth rate slowed down sharply to 1%. In 2021, the industrial growth rate returned to the medium and high-speed range of 7.6%, and the steady upward momentum was further consolidated.
"In fact, the overall development achievements of Xi'an's industrial economy in the past few years are obvious to all. Taking foreign-invested projects as an example, the successive implementation of large-scale foreign-invested projects such as Samsung and Micron is the best evidence." Jiang Tao said, "From the perspective of state-owned enterprises, the number of listed state-owned enterprises has gradually increased, and large-scale projects have been implemented in Xi'an, Yulin and other places. With the support of favorable policies, the future development of state-owned enterprises can still be expected."
Jiang Tao believes that overall, private enterprises are still one of the shortcomings in Xi'an's industrial economy development, and the business environment still has room for improvement.
For example, in this "Measures", it is mentioned that while optimizing industrial project approval, it is necessary to improve the assessment of development results. Weight in annual assessment and evaluation of districts, counties and development zones. Special funding support will be provided for the top three development zones and districts and counties in the comprehensive assessment of industrial development, with special funding of RMB 30 million, RMB 20 million, RMB 10 million, RMB 20 million, RMB 10 million and RMB 5 million respectively, with funds focusing on supporting the industrial development of districts, counties and development zones.
"The above measures are worthy of recognition, but improving the business environment is far more than these. For example, the flow of local talents. When the employment concept of public examinations and state-owned enterprises and state-owned enterprises is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the talent demand of private enterprises cannot be fully released." Jiang Tao said, "In addition, while paying attention to regional assessments to provide special funds for incentives, we should also pay attention to the financial difficulties of private enterprises. Only by accurately solving the development difficulties encountered by private enterprises, state-owned enterprises and foreign capital can we further promote the realization of the goal of "state-owned enterprises dare to do things, private enterprises dare to break through, and foreign capital dare to invest."
