At the beginning of the new year, provinces, districts and cities across the country have started to "sun" their annual "report cards". Fujian's GDP broke through 3.5 trillion yuan for the first time, and led the eastern coastal provinces and municipalities with an 8.3% growth rate for the second consecutive year.

From the "front line to Taiwan" in the past to the "open front" in the present, Fujian has continuously stimulated new economic momentum and renewed vitality, maintained steady and rapid development after the economic volume entered the top ten of the country, and written a chapter of high-quality development in Fujian.

New Era Describes "New Prospect" of Development

Walking into Zhangwan Industrial Park in Ningde, there is a hot construction scene. In the modernized factory area of Ningde New Energy Company, there is an endless stream of customers visiting and negotiating. Cheng Yun, assistant chairman of the company, introduced that the company has established Asia's largest lithium-ion battery research institute, entered the supply chain system of BMW, Volkswagen and other international automotive companies, and power battery shipments continue to lead the world.

Because of the inconvenience of transportation and the weak industry, Ningde was once called the "Gold Fault Zone along the Eastern Coast". Today, Ningde, with its advantages of backwardness, aims at industries with global competitiveness, focusing on building "four pillars" of lithium, new energy vehicles, new stainless steel materials, copper materials and other industries. It is expected that the output value of these four industrial clusters will exceed 300 billion yuan by 2020.

Ningde is a microcosm of Fujian's industrial transformation and upgrading. Over the past year, the output of new energy vehicles, smart phones, tablets, multi-functional passenger cars and other products in the province has increased by 38.1%, 132.1%, 67.3% and 71.4%, respectively; 162 new growth enterprises have been added, and the total number of high-tech enterprises has exceeded 3800; 8 new national champions in manufacturing, 358 provincial leading enterprises in industry and information technology have been added; 10215 new authorized invention patents have been added, with an increase of 17.2%. ...

Wu Changnan, director of the Institute of Economics of Fujian Academy of Social Sciences, believes that Fujian still maintains high growth in the case of large economic volume. An important reason is that the proportion of traditional industries in Fujian is higher and the industrial structure is lighter. Emerging productivity has become a powerful driving force for the economic growth of Fujian Province.

New as Releasing and Developing "New Potential"

The real economy is the foundation of development, and innovation drive is the source of development. In recent years, Fujian has persisted in taking the real economy as the first support for development, putting forward a series of measures of innovation-driven development, a 10-billion-dollar leader growth plan, and a 100-billion-dollar cluster cultivation plan, etc. to constantly stimulate the endogenous power of high-quality development.

A number of innovative initiatives promote the "four-chain integration" of industry, innovation, capital and policy. Fujian is a big province of private economy, but it generally faces the problems of weak R&D investment and inadequate innovation ability. The Fujian Enterprise Technology Rehabilitation Investment Fund, co-sponsored by the provincial and municipal finance and Industrial Bank, provides investment and financing services for advanced manufacturing enterprises in Fujian Province through equity and creditor's rights. By the end of last year, 8.035 billion yuan had been invested, which has led to more than 66 billion yuan in manufacturing technology reform investment, and the proportion of financial leverage to social investment has increased by more than 1:33.

At the same time, Fujian has vigorously promoted cost reduction, simplification and decentralization. In the past three years, it has reduced the burden of enterprises by 170 billion yuan through reform. More than 78,000 items of administrative examination and approval and service items have been connected to the online business hall, and the opening rate of online business has reached 96%.

In 2018, the investment in fixed assets in Fujian Province increased by 12.1%, which is about twice the national average. Among them, the contribution rate of private investment is as high as 94.9%. Tan Yachuan, director of the Economic Department of the Political Research Office of the Fujian Provincial Committee, said that reflected the confidence of all sectors of society in the high-quality development of Fujian.

The government "set up" a good "platform" and enterprises "sing" a big "drama". Over the past year, a number of high-quality growth projects have emerged in Bamin, releasing a strong driving force for development. In Fuzhou, Beijing Oriental intends to start a new round of investment of 46.5 billion yuan to expand the 6th generation AMOLED panel production line; in Quanzhou, the integrated circuit industry cluster attracts hundreds of supporting enterprises at home and abroad to invest actively; in Xiamen, the product yield of the joint-core integrated circuit project with a total investment of 6.2 billion dollars has reached the industry leading level.

New Measures to Open up and Develop "New Runway"

On December 24, 2018, COSCO Sishui Container Ship, full of Chinese-made products, slowly left the port of Xiamen, marking the official start of Fujian Province's "Silk Road Maritime Transport".

After launching the initiative of Xiamen port holding group, Fujian transportation group and China Ocean Shipping Group, more than 60 shipping, port, freight and supply chain enterprises such as the Russian Far East shipping and Israel Israel STAR SHIPPING CO responded. Fujian will accelerate the construction of the Silk Road shipping alliance in 2019, and build a "one belt and one road" international integrated logistics service brand from the shipping industry. 。

In Fujian Province, a number of measures have been taken to speed up the construction of the "two wings flying together" pattern in the two major synergistic development zones of Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian. As the "two poles", Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province and "Xiamen, Zhangquan" in southern Fujian Province systematically promote the development of industrial clusters, urban clusters and port clusters, coordinate the coordination of "mountains" and "sea", realize the sharing of regional resources and invigorate the "one chess board" of the economy.

"With the development of economy to a certain level, the integration of resource elements is becoming more and more important. Coordination and systematization will be the key to deepening reform." Xue Kan, executive deputy director of Fujian Provincial Committee Reform Office, said that in the next few years, Fujian will accelerate the innovation of regional infrastructure, public service sharing, ecological protection and co-construction, and further release the vitality of regional economy.

Fujian is speeding up the exploration of a high-quality development of internal and external integration and cooperation between mountains and seas by seizing the policy opportunities of "Haisi" core area, free trade pilot area and national ecological civilization pilot area.
