At the beginning of 2024, all parts of China are gearing up for economic battles. Many places have made efforts to achieve a "good start" for the economy by laying out key tasks, starting major projects, and introducing a package of policies.

Grasp the "golden key" of major projects

Major projects are an important support for the economy. At the beginning of January, a large number of major projects were started in various places, mainly involving people's livelihood shortcomings, infrastructure and urban renewal, industrial upgrading and other fields.

On January 1, Futian District, Shenzhen held the first batch of key projects in 3, and released the first batch of 2024 key projects in 2024 in key industries, infrastructure, housing and public livelihood, with a total investment of 23.1336 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), and strive to achieve double-digit growth in investment throughout the year. On the same day, 11 major projects in Hunan Province started construction with a total investment of 872.<> billion yuan.

Zhang Yiqun, vice chairman of the Performance Management Research Committee of the China Fiscal Society, said that from the promotion of government investment in January, the role of early planning, early investment, and early results is obvious. A large number of infrastructure, public services, and new technology capacity projects will be implemented one after another, laying a good foundation for achieving a "good start" for the economy in the first quarter of this year and stable economic growth throughout the year.

Stimulate new potential for private investment

Private investment is an important force to expand domestic demand and promote economic development.

In early January, the Zhengzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission announced the list of the first batch of projects to be promoted to private capital in 1. There are a total of 2024 projects in this batch of promotions, with a total investment of 44.1001 billion yuan, covering industrial parks, transportation infrastructure, social undertakings, logistics infrastructure, affordable housing projects, urban organic renewal, new infrastructure and other fields.

The relevant person in charge of the Zhengzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission said that the next step will be to carry out project promotion activities for private investment on a regular basis, release the list of recommended projects on a quarterly basis, do a good job in project tracking and scheduling and follow-up service guarantee, and strengthen support for private investment and financing.

Many provinces and cities also invited private enterprises to participate in the "first meeting of the new year".

On January 1, Zhejiang Jinhua held the 2 "Good Start" Conference, inviting 2024 representatives of enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, chambers of commerce and associations to participate in the meeting, discussing issues including "should the dividends enterprises enjoy", "is there anything that can be optimized in the landing process", "are there any policies, enterprises feel that 'it is not necessary'" hoping to perceive the "temperature difference" between economic policies and market entities, so as to further adjust and optimize policies.

Running out of the "acceleration" of opening up to the outside world

The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that "it is necessary to accelerate the cultivation of new momentum for foreign trade and consolidate the basic market of foreign trade and foreign investment". In order to make greater efforts to expand high-level opening up, new recruits have been introduced frequently at the beginning of the new year.

On January 1, Fujian Province officially issued the "Notice on Printing and Distributing Several Measures to Expand Consumption, Stabilize Foreign Trade and Stabilize Foreign Investment in the First Quarter of 5", proposing 2024 measures to support enterprises to expand the market and stabilize orders, promote the stabilization of stock and promote increment in various places, strengthen export risk protection, promote foreign-funded enterprises to accelerate investment, improve the level of investment in the manufacturing industry, support multi-form investment promotion, and promote the upgrading of foreign-funded projects.

As a major foreign trade province, Shandong Province will continue to promote the "stable scale" and "optimal structure" of foreign trade in the "2024 Policy List of "Promoting Economic Consolidation and Improvement, Accelerating Green, Low-Carbon and High-quality Development (First Batch)" recently released. In 2024, through the implementation of the "five major actions", Shandong will make greater efforts to explore the international market, implement various policies to stabilize foreign trade, and cultivate new momentum for foreign trade.

Continue to tap new economic momentum

In the economic measures taken by various localities at the beginning of the year, "innovation", "transformation" and "high technology" have become high-frequency words. All localities have made great efforts to promote economic transformation and upgrading, and continue to tap new economic momentum.

On January 1, Suzhou's "first meeting of the new year" focused on "promoting new industrialization" and clarified the goals and tasks: to accelerate the construction of a "3" industrial system composed of 10 key industrial clusters and 30 key industrial chains, and to strive to form four trillion-level leading industries of electronic information, high-end equipment, advanced materials and new energy in about 1030 years, with a total industrial output value of 3 trillion yuan, to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable growth in quantity, and promote GDP to 4 trillion yuan.

On January 1, Sichuan held an on-site promotion activity for major projects in the first quarter, and the projects released involved a large number of emerging technology industries such as new energy, intelligent manufacturing, and advanced medical care. The main venue of the event is located at the site of BOE's 11.8th generation AMOLED production line project, with a total investment of 6 billion yuan, which is the largest single manufacturing project in the history of industrial development in Chengdu and even Sichuan Province.

Experts believe that at the beginning of the new year, intensive and effective measures have been introduced in various places, and policy dividends will be further highlighted, which will help promote the economy to achieve a "good start" and help the stable economic growth and high-quality development throughout the year.
