The ＂1+2＂ policy system to promote the development of private economy has its own emphasis, which not only improves the quality and efficiency of government services but also stimulates the endogenous

Focusing on the most concerned and prominent problems of private market players, recently, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued three documents: Action Plan for Improving the Development Environment of Private Economy in Sichuan Province, Several Measures for Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Enterprises, and Several Measures for Further Promoting the Development of Individual Industrial and Commercial Households, and played a "1+2" policy "combination boxing" to promote the development of private economy, helping the vast number of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households to strengthen their confidence, regain their vitality and increase their vitality.

On July 6th, the Information Office of the provincial government held the second press conference on the theme of "High-quality development of private economy"-"Improving the environment to promote development" to interpret the background, main contents and characteristic highlights of the "1+2" policy to promote the development of private economy.

Why is it introduced?

Starting from the two dimensions of the government and market players, ensure the policy of "precise drip irrigation"

It is of great significance to promote the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy. Private economy holds up half of the province’s economy, contributing more than 50% of GDP, more than 50% of tax revenue, more than 90% of urban employment and more than 90% of enterprises.

However, the insufficient development of private economy is still a prominent shortcoming in our province. Dong Ruojie, chief economist of the Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, said at the meeting that since the beginning of this year, the private economy in our province has achieved recovery growth, but the development of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households still faces some difficulties and problems. In this regard, the provincial party Committee and the provincial government attach great importance to it, and hold special meetings for many times to study, and clearly formulate policies and measures with gold content to effectively help the vast number of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households to solve problems.

"This time, we designed the’ 1+2′ policy system from two dimensions: the government and the market players." Dong Ruojie introduced that "1" is an Action Plan for Improving the Development Environment of Private Economy in Sichuan Province (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan), and "2" is two policy measures to promote the development of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.

Specifically, each of the three documents has its own emphasis. Dong Ruojie introduced that the Action Plan mainly focuses on giving full play to the role of the government and further improving the quality and efficiency of the government’s services, including five special actions. The two supporting policies mainly focus on stimulating the endogenous motivation of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, and help them solve problems, increase confidence and seek development through "real money and silver" policy support.

In addition, the "1+2" policy system embodies the characteristics of systematicness, accuracy and innovation. "The Action Plan is formulated separately from the policy of benefiting enterprises and helping enterprises, which enhances the systematicness and coordination of policies." Dong Ruojie introduced that the two supporting policies are classified and implemented to ensure the policy of "precise drip irrigation".

The data shows that by the end of June, there were 8,706,200 market players in our province, including 8,473,900 private market players, accounting for 97.33%. Among the private market players, there are 2,325,300 private enterprises, accounting for 27.44%, and 6,041,500 individual industrial and commercial households, accounting for 71.3%.

"The number of private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households is relatively large, and the difficulties, problems and policy needs they face are very different. Therefore, the introduction of policy measures for different subjects can better meet different needs." Dong Ruojie said.

The policy also highlights the problem orientation. Peng Liang, a special researcher at Sichuan Institute of Private Economy and a professor at Sichuan Normal University, noted that the five special actions in the Action Plan are all about the problems that need to be solved urgently to improve the current development environment, which is conducive to breaking the key sticking point that restricts the development environment of private economy.

Does it work?

Aiming at the pain points and difficulties of enterprises, many policies are innovative.

After the release of the policy, many private entrepreneurs and business association leaders noticed that this set of policy "combination boxing" has high gold content.

"The policy responded to the expectations of enterprises and directly hit the pain points and difficulties of enterprise development." Jun Tang, Executive Secretary of Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, gave an example. For example, the Action Plan mentioned the comprehensive implementation of inclusive and prudent supervision and joint law enforcement of "comprehensive inspection once", and specifically mentioned that except for matters that must be inspected, such as safety bottom line supervision, market participants made business commitments, and in principle, they would not be inspected unless they reported complaints. Such a policy just responds to the voice of enterprises, "I hope the government will trust us more."

There are also bright spots in encouraging innovation. The "Several Measures for Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Enterprises" proposes to raise the subsidy standard on the existing basis for private enterprises to take the lead in undertaking major national science and technology projects, incremental investment in research and development, and investment in basic research, and increase support for the first set of products of private enterprises.

"We have visited a large number of small and medium-sized scientific and technological innovation enterprises. Many enterprises have suggested that due to limited R&D capabilities, enterprises cannot undertake major national scientific and technological projects and key R&D plans, but they have undertaken many scientific and technological innovation projects, hoping to include these scientific and technological innovation projects in the scope of support." Jun Tang said that the New Deal clearly stated that "private enterprises undertaking the 2030 project of scientific and technological innovation (subject) will be given inclined support by provincial-level scientific and technological planning projects according to regulations".

In terms of supporting financing, it is proposed to reduce the average guarantee rate of small and micro enterprises and "three rural" entities to below 1%, and promote special credit products such as "tax-electricity index loan".

"Not long ago, the Department of Finance, the Department of Economic and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued a notice, further requiring government financing guarantee institutions to reduce the average rate of new small, micro and’ three rural’ businesses to less than 1% in 2023, and the balance under guarantee at the end of the year will increase by no less than 10% year-on-year." Li Wenli, the second-level inspector of the Department of Economics and Information Technology, said that our province will effectively guide government financing guarantee institutions to focus on small and micro enterprises and the main bodies of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and reduce financing costs.

These innovative policies can not be separated from a large number of research and demonstration work in the early stage. "The’ 1+2′ policy system not only fully draws on the experience and practices outside the province, but also combines the reality of our province and strives to be pragmatic and effective." Dong ruojie said.

How to implement it?

Promote the direct enjoyment of policies and improve the convenience of policy fulfillment.

After the introduction of the policy, how to implement it is a common concern of private market participants.

"The first is to promote the direct enjoyment of policies." Dong Ruojie introduced that relying on the comprehensive service platform of private economy in Sichuan Province and the "Business Link" APP on the mobile phone, information services such as policy interpretation, online declaration, market distribution, laws and regulations, financial support, etc. are provided for individual industrial and commercial households. Users can scan the QR code to browse the policies issued by various departments in provinces, cities and counties, click on "Policy Interpretation" and "Service Guide" to gain a deep understanding of the policy content and reporting procedures, and can provide policy consultation online and enjoy manual or intelligent "reporting".

At the same time, in view of the tax, social security, loans and other issues that private market players are most concerned about in production and operation, our province has formed a simple and easy-to-read "policy understanding card", which makes the policy easy to understand and understand at a glance by means of "making a long story short and seeing a picture clearly".

In promoting the effectiveness of financial policies, our province will focus on five aspects. Huang Quanxiang, deputy governor of Chengdu Branch of the People’s Bank of China, said that the next step will be to give full play to the role of financial support by conducting and publicizing financial policies to help enterprises bail out, promoting the productization of financial policies and the popularization of product cases, deepening the special action of "zero-distance financing for private small and micro enterprises", deepening the special action of financial services for individual industrial and commercial households "lending small businesses to serve people’s livelihood" and doing a good job in monitoring and evaluating policy effects.

In addition, our province will also improve the convenience of policy fulfillment. "This year, we launched 94 convenient tax payment service measures around six aspects: improving the quality of appeal response, speeding up the implementation of policies, upgrading key services, conveniently handling quality improvement, and standardizing law enforcement." Bai Bing, spokesperson and chief economist of Sichuan Provincial Taxation Bureau, introduced that in July this year, our province researched and launched the first list of tax and fee services in the province, including 73 services such as tax declaration, information reporting and international tax business handling. For example, taxpayers in Sichuan Province have to issue tax payment certificates. If they want to go offline from the entity tax service office, they can only go to the tax service office of the competent tax authority before the "different office", but now they can go to any comprehensive tax service office in the province.

"The policies of the private economy involve multiple departments. In the past, various departments were’ compartmentalized’ in policy formulation, which was not conducive to the superposition effect of policies." Peng Liang said that the New Deal proposed to carry out "one-stop" handling of policy redemption by setting up a special window for centralized policy redemption, so as to realize "comprehensive investigation and one-time handling" of the policy of benefiting enterprises; It will greatly reduce the difficulty for private enterprises to honor their policies by implementing the "policy calculator for benefiting enterprises" and realizing free application and quick enjoyment.
