The Yangpu Free Trade Port Zone is the first area in Hainan to implement the free trade port policy, and conduct a policy stress test for the island's customs closure.
Zhou Junping said that Yangpu puts the most important position in accelerating the construction of the Yangpu Bonded Port Area, and improving the level of software and hardware to create good conditions for the implementation of the free trade port policy.
In terms of hardware, Yangpu upgraded the infrastructure of the bonded port area.
Including the improvement of customs supervision facilities and the start of the overall style improvement project of the bonded port area.
Speed up the disposal of idle land and workshops in the park, and at the same time build a standard workshop of 130,000 square meters to create conditions for the implementation of subsequent projects.
In terms of software, Yangpu increased its investment in investment last year and gave priority to introducing projects that adapt to the free trade port policy.
For example, using the tariff-free policy of processing value added by more than 30% to attract a large number of enterprises in health food, high-tech, bonded maintenance, and tourist consumer goods manufacturing, there are currently 20 projects under construction.
Zhou Junping said that Yangpu is speeding up the implementation of the free trade port policy in the bonded port area.
For example, through the launch of an online public information service platform, the “first-line” liberalization and “second-line” management policies have been implemented in the bonded port area, creating conditions for enterprises to truly enjoy the “first-line” liberalization policy.
He introduced that the "pot of water" in Yangpu Bonded Port Area is heating up rapidly.
Zhou Junping said that in 2020, a number of economic indicators in the bonded port area will be "doubled": the number of newly established enterprises, total operating income, fixed asset investment, and foreign trade have increased by 35 times, 20 times, 30 times, and 4.6 times respectively.
"The growth rate is faster than before. Of course, we must objectively see that our base number is relatively small." Zhou Junping said that he is happy and has a sense of urgency about the "doubling" of the Yangpu Free Trade Port Area.
This year, Yangpu will ensure that all relevant free trade port policies are implemented in the Yangpu Bonded Port Area in the first half of the year.
"More efforts are needed to achieve a "double increase" on the basis of last year, and build a "model room" for the free trade port." Zhou Junping said.
