Core Tip | Henan's GDP growth rate in the first quarter is 7%, the lowest in six years for the same period. In this new normal, how will Henan's economy perform? Yesterday, the Henan provincial government released "Several Policy Measures to Promote Stable and Healthy Economic Development" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"), introducing 30 new initiatives related to "Internet +", new energy vehicles, and other new business formats, as well as public entrepreneurship and other social hot topics, to alleviate the downward pressure on economic growth.
Keyword "Internet +" Action Plan Allocates 300 million yuan for key projects. Henan has already positioned itself at the forefront of "Internet +", and now it remains to be seen how to take off. With the announcement of the "Measures", our province will raise 300 million yuan to provide subsidies for key industry projects under the "Internet +" action plan. To promote the development of internet finance, our province will reward local enterprises that obtain third-party online payment licenses and provide financial support to leading e-commerce enterprises registered in our province for their self-operated platforms and vertical e-commerce platforms in niche markets. To take off, a platform is needed; our province will guide social capital investment in the construction of various infrastructures and public service platforms for "Internet +" mainly through government procurement of services.
Keyword New Energy Vehicles Zhengzhou and Xinxiang to build charging and battery swapping demonstration stations. New energy vehicles, including electric vehicles, have become a hot topic in Henan, but there is a bottleneck in the promotion of new energy vehicles, which is the construction of charging points. This time, the "Measures" announced that our province will jointly invest in the construction of 1-2 charging and battery swapping demonstration stations in Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, and other national new energy vehicle demonstration cities with provincial and municipal finances. In addition, provincial cities and counties (cities, districts) will determine the number of charging and battery swapping stations and charging piles to be built based on the number of new energy buses promoted, providing a subsidy of 30% of the construction cost, and attracting social capital investment through a "build first, subsidize later" approach.
Keyword Port Construction Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone Phase III and Nanyang Wolong Comprehensive Bonded Zone to be put into use by the end of the year. Zhengzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Henan automobile import port, and other open platforms have already begun to play a role. This year, our province aims to establish and put into use designated import ports for meat in Zhengzhou and Luohe inspection areas. Additionally, we will start the construction of the second phase of the automobile import port, the railway port multimodal transport supervision center, the third phase of the Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and the Nanyang Wolong Comprehensive Bonded Zone, striving to complete and put them into use by the end of the year.
Keyword Public Entrepreneurship 100 million yuan allocated to makerspaces. The "Measures" require the establishment of a corporate layoff reporting system. If a company needs to lay off 20 or more employees or 10% or more of its workforce, its layoff plan must be discussed with the labor union or employees 30 days in advance and reported to the local human resources and social security department. In addition, support will be provided for the development of makerspaces, with a total of 100 million yuan of provincial science and technology funds allocated to support higher education institutions and research institutes in utilizing idle buildings to create makerspaces, providing a certain proportion of subsidies based on their renovation costs; and using government procurement methods to subsidize the broadband network and public software service costs of makerspaces.
Keyword Major Projects Another batch of pre-approval processes canceled. To achieve rapid GDP growth, major projects are the "vanguard". This year, our province will screen 8,000 major projects, establish 10 major project packages, and implement 10 major measures to guide and expand private investment, aiming to complete an investment of 1.5 trillion yuan for the whole year. Next, our province will simplify project review procedures and shorten project approval timelines. Additionally, our province will cancel 18 pre-approval processes, including bank loan commitments for enterprise investment projects, planning design scheme review opinions, and power grid access opinions.
Keyword Enterprise Charges Industrial enterprises facing operational difficulties may have various fees reduced or deferred. To reduce the operating costs of enterprises, our province has released a list of administrative and government fund-related enterprise charges in Henan. Any charges not listed on the list are prohibited from being collected, and the retained charges must be executed at the minimum standard. Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden for relevant departments, units, and institutions to force enterprises to purchase designated services and equipment, and all unnecessary enterprise evaluation and standardization activities must be stopped. For industrial enterprises facing operational difficulties that need to pay various fees, relevant departments should adopt flexible methods within their authority to appropriately reduce or defer payments.
