Beijing, March 17 (Reporter Feng Qiyu) At a regular press conference held on the 17th, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng said that in the first two months of this year, the overall operation of foreign-funded enterprises across the country was stable, with foreign investment exceeding US$100 million. The actual capital received for large projects increased by 74.3% year-on-year.
Data show that in the first two months, my country's actual use of foreign capital in RMB increased by 37.9% year-on-year.
According to Gao Feng's analysis, since the beginning of this year, my country's economy has continued to recover steadily, production demand has grown rapidly, and consumption has recovered steadily, further enhancing the confidence of foreign investors.
On the basis that the fundamentals of China's economy have not changed for a long time, the effect of the policy of stabilizing foreign investment has continued to show.
Last year, in response to the concerns of foreign-funded enterprises, the relevant departments issued a series of special policies and measures to ensure equal participation of domestic and foreign investment in government procurement, support for foreign-funded R&D centers to enjoy preferential tax policies for scientific and technological innovation imports, and tax reduction and exemption of foreign personal income tax. Entering the negative list, further loosening the restrictions on foreign shareholding in automobile manufacturing and other fields, effectively stabilized the development expectations of foreign-funded enterprises, and effectively promoted the growth of investment scale.
According to a recent survey report released by the American Chamber of Commerce in China and the German Chamber of Commerce in China, 83% of US-funded companies and 96% of German-funded companies continue to be optimistic about the Chinese market, and 66% of US-funded companies and 71% of German-funded companies plan to increase investment in China. .
In the first two months of this year, the actual investment in China from the United States and Germany increased by 36.4% and 109.1% respectively.
Among other major sources of foreign capital, investment in China from Singapore and South Korea increased by 24.1% and 24% respectively, and the countries along the “Belt and Road” and ASEAN increased by 27.8% and 25.5% respectively.
Gao Feng introduced that since the promulgation of the "Foreign Investment Law", we have organized and carried out the review of foreign investment regulations, rules and normative documents, formulated and revised more than 200 legal documents and abolished more than 300 legal documents, and continued to improve the promotion, protection and management of foreign investment. A legal system shall be implemented, the national treatment of foreign-funded enterprises shall be implemented, and the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors shall be strengthened.
At the same time, it has also increased its services to foreign-funded enterprises, and the special class for key foreign-funded projects has further improved the working mechanism, coordinated with all parties to strengthen service guarantees, helped enterprises solve their problems, and promoted the construction of key projects.
Gao Feng said that China will further expand its high-level opening to the outside world and welcomes investors from all over the world to invest in China.
We will also continue to work hard to provide better services to investors from all over the world and create a market-oriented, legalized and internationalized business environment.
