This month, the "Shanghai Action Plan to Focus on Improving Enterprise Feelings and Continuing to Create an International First-class Business Environment" was released.

The action plan proposes 24 overall service measures for enterprises, including upgrading the full-process services of policies that benefit enterprises, and comprehensively improving the "bringing in" and "going out" services of enterprises.

In order to clear the bottlenecks in market access, on the basis of the introduction of the action plan, Shanghai has also introduced ten new measures to facilitate market access registration, including simplifying real-name authentication, electronic signatures and license downloads, etc., to provide more convenience for chain enterprise branch registration.

Fujian: Many places issue policies to benefit enterprises to help the development of the private economy

The private economy is the characteristic, vitality and advantages of Fujian's economy. After the Spring Festival, many places in Fujian held the "First New Year's Meeting" one after another, focusing on the private economy, and released a series of measures and a list of policies to benefit enterprises, injecting strong impetus into the development of the private economy.

Recently, Fuzhou issued the "Several Measures to Promote the High-Quality Development of the Private Economy", which put forward specific measures from 12 aspects: implementing new mechanisms for government-social capital cooperation, cultivating and strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises, and increasing R&D investment. Among them, private enterprises are particularly encouraged to accelerate equipment updates and technological transformation. For projects with annual investment of technical transformation equipment and information construction of more than 5 million yuan (including) and included in fixed asset investment, Fuzhou Municipal Finance will provide investment subsidies, and a maximum subsidy of 5 million yuan per enterprise will be 5 million yuan. At the same time, private enterprises are encouraged to increase R&D investment, and a supporting reward of 50% of the provincial subsidy is 5 million yuan for the introduced provincial major R&D platforms.

In Quanzhou City, where the private economy is relatively concentrated, the local government will increase investment in R&D of rewards and subsidies for enterprises. For example, support enterprises to jointly build R&D centers with universities and research institutes, and provide up to 10 million yuan in equipment purchase interest subsidies for three years. For the first time, the company has established a reward and subsidy fund for R&D investment of over 100 million yuan, which is expected to benefit more than 1,000 companies. At the same time, we will also step up efforts to cultivate the artificial intelligence industry and provide a subsidy of up to 2.5 million yuan for new artificial intelligence computing power centers above 100P. In addition, the local government will also implement the financing coordination mechanism for small and micro enterprises, and strive to increase the new small and micro loans by 2025 to avoid the problem of "difficulty in financing and high cost of financing".

In recent years, the country has taken a number of measures to promote the development of the private economy

We have seen measures introduced by various places to support the development of the private economy this year. In recent years, many measures have been introduced at the national level to promote the development of the private economy. Let’s learn more about it. In July 2023, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy" was issued, covering the development environment, policy support, and legal guarantee of the private economy, and proposed 31 specific implementation measures; in September 2023, the Private Economy Development Bureau was established as a special working body to promote the development and growth of the private economy, strengthening policy coordination in relevant fields, and promoting the early implementation and effectiveness of various major measures; on January 22, 2025, the draft Law on Promotion of the Private Economy was submitted to the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress for initial review, aiming to improve the business environment and promote the development of private enterprises by using legal means to protect private enterprises and private entrepreneurs, implementing a fair competition review mechanism, and supporting private enterprises to participate in major technology public relations projects. What is the effect of the introduction and implementation of policies to support private enterprises in the state and localities? Judging from the latest data released by the China Small and Medium Enterprises Association, the small and medium-sized enterprise development index in January was 89.0, up 0.1 point from December 2024. At the same time, the difficulty and high cost of financing have also been alleviated. Data from the central bank showed that at the end of January, the balance of inclusive small and micro loans was 33.31 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year, and the balance of medium- and long-term loans in the manufacturing industry was 14.41 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.4% year-on-year, both higher than the growth rate of various loans during the same period. Private enterprises have improved in industrial production, innovation and entrepreneurship, confidence and expectations. We look forward to the continued development and growth of private enterprises this year and the private economy continues to improve steadily.
