Comrades:

The main tasks of this conference are: to thoroughly implement the guiding principles of the Central Economic Work Conference, the 8th Plenary Session of the 13th Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Economic Work Conference, and the 10th Plenary Session of the 3rd Lishui Municipal Party Committee; to unswervingly follow the path of green ecological development that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets; to earnestly review the work of 2015 and the achievements of the 12th Five‑Year‑Plan period; to study work arrangements for the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan period; and to deploy work tasks for 2016, so as to get the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan development of the Development Zone off to a good start.

I. Review of Work in 2015 and Development Achievements in the 12th Five‑Year‑Plan Period

In 2015, under the sound leadership of the Lishui Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, adhering to the strategic guiding principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, the Development Zone achieved notable results in developing eco‑friendly industries, industrial transformation and upgrading, corporate innovation capacity building, and ecological environment improvement.

First, the economy withstood overall downward pressure while fiscal revenue attained new breakthroughs. The output value of industrial enterprises above designated size reached RMB 20.89 billion, down 13.1% year‑on‑year; fixed‑asset investment stood at RMB 5.03 billion, down 19.2% year‑on‑year; total import and export volume hit USD 270 million, an increase of 24.7% year‑on‑year; total fiscal revenue reached RMB 900 million, up 20.1% year‑on‑year; general public budget revenue was RMB 496 million, growing by 12.6% year‑on‑year.

Second, investment promotion yielded solid results with fresh progress in landing industrial projects. Paid‑in domestic capital from outside the city reached RMB 4.77 billion, paid‑in foreign capital USD 58.17 million, and paid‑in capital returned by Zhejiang entrepreneurs RMB 2.64 billion. Sixteen major projects each with investment above RMB 100 million were introduced. Land supply was completed for nine projects including Tiandi Logistics and Changfeng New Materials.

Third, infrastructure facilities were gradually improved with highlights in circular transformation. Projects such as municipal road networks for the Eastern Expansion Zone, standard factory buildings, technology incubators, and renovation of the Robot Industrial Park were successively completed; construction kicked off for the southern section of East No.3 Road and other works. A 20‑kilometer steam pipeline network was built to supply centralized heating for 80 enterprises; a 10‑kilometer natural‑gas pipeline network was constructed. The park was approved as a national demonstration pilot for circular transformation.

Fourth, corporate innovation capacity was strengthened and industrial cultivation achieved new progress. Six additional national high‑tech enterprises and 12 provincial sci‑tech small‑and‑medium‑sized enterprises were added. The Zone was approved as a National Torch Program Characteristic Industrial Base for Intelligent Equipment and Robots. C&G Electrical and Founder Motor were granted provincial demonstration projects for integration of informatization and industrialization. Eighteen synthetic‑leather enterprises carried out provincial‑level pilot renovation for “machine replacement”. Fulaissen Company was listed on NASDAQ; eight joint‑stock enterprises and three NEEQ‑listed enterprises were newly added. Direct financing for the whole year reached RMB 1.63 billion.

Fifth, intensified efforts were made to rectify inefficient operations with notable improvements in ecological environmental quality. A total of 101 small‑scale, scattered and poorly‑managed enterprises were overhauled and 7 high‑polluting enterprises phased out. 624 mu of idle land was reorganized and 1,184 mu of inefficient land disposed. Investment of RMB 320 million was completed for the comprehensive water environment governance campaign. COD and ammonia‑nitrogen in wastewater from the synthetic‑leather sector basically achieved stable discharge standards. Key characteristic air pollutants including DMF and VOC were effectively controlled, and energy‑saving and emission‑reduction targets were basically fulfilled.

Sixth, further progress was made in people‑well‑being programs featuring distinctive urban‑rural development. Real‑estate sales covered 170,000 square meters. Major projects including the Yuzhuangqian Resettlement Housing Project and Phase‑II Shaxiting Apartments were basically completed. Construction started on 800 new affordable‑housing units. Xiushan Road Primary School and Jiangnan Road Middle School were under orderly construction. Resettlement was arranged for 729 households. All 355 low‑income rural households with annual per‑capita income below RMB 4,600 were lifted out of poverty. Targets for urban reconstruction and demolition of illegal structures were over‑fulfilled, and the program for beautifying environments along roads, rivers and villages was implemented with high standards. Society maintained overall harmony and stability, and public well‑being was markedly enhanced.

The efforts and achievements of the past year drew a successful close to the Development Zone’s development in the 12th Five‑Year‑Plan period.

Over the past five years, development platforms were upgraded and industrial features gradually took shape. Elevated to a national‑level Economic and Technological Development Zone, the Zone was designated successively as a national‑level pilot park for circular transformation, a provincial pilot for ecological park development, and a provincial pilot park for informatization‑driven green‑safe manufacturing through integration of informatization and industrialization. It became a National Torch Program Characteristic Industrial Base for Intelligent Equipment and Robots, a provincial high‑tech characteristic industrial base for intelligent equipment and robots, and a national demonstration base for water‑based eco‑friendly synthetic leather.

Over the past five years, economic aggregate expanded steadily with increasingly prominent industrial positioning. Regional GDP reached RMB 5.73 billion in 2015, 1.4 times that of 2010, representing an average annual growth rate of 8.1%. Fixed‑asset investment hit RMB 5.03 billion, twice the figure for 2010, with an average annual growth of 22.5%, of which industrial investment stood at RMB 2.14 billion, 1.5 times that of 2010 and an average annual rise of 16.8%. Total import‑export volume reached USD 270 million, 4.1 times the volume in 2010, growing at an average annual rate of 32.4%.

Over the past five years, technological competitiveness and innovation capacity kept improving. Cumulatively, 33 national high‑tech enterprises, 19 provincial sci‑tech SMEs, 3 provincial pilot demonstration innovative enterprises, 3 provincial enterprise research institutes, 13 provincial R&D centers for high‑tech enterprises, 2 provincial patent‑demonstration enterprises and 1 national intellectual‑property‑advantaged enterprise were added. Three pre‑IPO enterprises were nurtured; four enterprises got listed on NEEQ and another seven signed listing agreements. Seventy‑four high‑end talents were recruited, including four national “Thousand‑Talent Program” experts, seven provincial “Thousand‑Talent Program” experts and eighteen Lugu Elite talents.

Over the past five years, fiscal revenue increased substantially and tax structure was optimized. In 2015, total fiscal revenue of the Development Zone tripled compared with 2010, growing at an average annual rate of 31%; general public budget revenue was 4.2 times the 2010 level with an average annual growth of 35.8%. VAT and corporate income‑tax receipts totaled RMB 440 million, up 44.2% year‑on‑year. Tax contribution from traditional sectors such as synthetic leather dropped from 86.5% in 2010 to 16.3% in 2015; the proportion contributed by biomedicine rose from 1.9% to 30%, resulting in a better‑balanced tax‑revenue structure.

Over the past five years, development space expanded in an orderly manner and urban construction accelerated. Total development scale expanded from 14.4 square kilometers to nearly 30 square kilometers, with full‑swing construction in the Eastern Expansion Zone. A cluster of commercial complexes including Kaizhen Commerce & Logistics City, E‑commerce Industrial Agglomeration Park, International Automobile City and Jiangtai International Star City were completed. Cumulative real‑estate development reached 600,000 square meters. Infrastructure such as road networks, power grids and heating networks, together with public service facilities including schools, hospitals and markets, were gradually improved. The framework of the Southern City under the “One‑River, Two‑Cities” planning was basically formed.

These hard‑won achievements are attributable to the sound leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, strong support from municipal departments, and concerted efforts of entrepreneurs, builders and all cadres and staff of the Development Zone. On behalf of the Party Working Committee and Management Committee of the Development Zone, I would like to extend sincere gratitude to all leaders at all levels and people from all sectors of society who care for and support the Development Zone, as well as all investors and contributors!

Meanwhile, we are sober‑minded that economic growth in the Development Zone has slowed down in recent years, generally falling below the municipal average with continuous declines in multiple economic indicators. Quite a number of enterprises suffer weak market competitiveness and low capacity utilization, with prominent idle and inefficient land and severe waste of production factors. Investment‑promotion projects show low contract compliance, frequent land‑return cases and delayed commissioning for some projects, while emerging industries remain small in scale. We are faced with arduous tasks to expand economic aggregate, improve quality‑of‑benefit, strengthen development momentum and upgrade the ecological environment. We must attach great importance to these issues and address them in future work.

II. Development Goals for the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan Period and Major Tasks for 2016

The 13th Five‑Year‑Plan period constitutes a crucial phase for the whole city to advance ecological civilization and build a moderately prosperous society in all respects in step with Zhejiang Province. It is also a key period for the Development Zone to fully implement the guiding principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and accelerate the growth of eco‑friendly industries.

During this period, the Development Zone will further consolidate its position as a primary platform for eco‑industries and a main battlefield for transformation and upgrading. Our goals to expand economic aggregate and improve development quality have become clearer. Requirements for prioritizing eco‑industries and accelerating structural adjustment are more concrete. Tasks for pollution remediation and activation of resource factors are more urgent. Targeted investment‑promotion measures and emerging‑industry cultivation are more pragmatic. Conditions are ripe for integrated development of industry and city and coordinated urban‑rural progress.

Accordingly, our guiding philosophy for the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan development is: guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents and the Scientific Outlook on Development, thoroughly implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and the Four‑Comprehensives and Five‑Development strategic layouts, taking the Eight‑Eight Strategy as our overarching guideline, enforcing the guiding principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, upholding the dual bottom‑line thinking for ecological protection and eco‑economy, targeting the overall vision of building a “Beautiful Southern City, Dynamic New Area”, accelerating the formation of a “3+1” eco‑industrial system, improving urban supporting functions, promoting integrated industry‑city development, striving to build a demonstration zone for eco‑industrial development in Zhejiang, a model zone for transforming the city’s economic development mode and a leading zone for industry‑city integration, and laying a solid foundation for a high‑quality national‑level Economic and Technological Development Zone.

Major development objectives for the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan period are as follows: markedly enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the Development Zone and its contribution to municipal economic‑social development, embodied in the “1‑2‑3‑4‑5” targets: by 2020, realize regional GDP of RMB 10 billion with an average annual growth rate of 11.8%, accounting for over 6% of municipal GDP; total fiscal revenue of RMB 2 billion growing at 17.3% annually; cumulative total social fixed‑asset investment above RMB 30 billion over five years with roughly 10% annual growth and RMB 40 billion of investment secured via investment promotion; output value of industrial enterprises above designated size reaching RMB 50 billion by 2020, rising at an average annual rate of 19.1%.

The year 2016 marks the opening year of the 13th Five‑Year‑Plan period and a new starting‑point for resetting and forging ahead. We are confronted with challenges brought by the new normal of economic development as well as opportunities unlocked by ecological dividends, reform dividends and high‑speed‑rail dividends. Opportunities coexist with challenges, and opportunities outweigh challenges.

Based on comprehensive analysis of various factors, major expected targets for this year are: 7.5% growth of regional GDP; 6% growth in output value of industrial enterprises above designated size; 6% growth in value‑added of industrial enterprises above designated size; fixed‑asset‑investment growth above 10%, including 10% growth in industrial investment; 8% increase in general public budget revenue; paid‑in domestic capital from outside the city of RMB 5 billion; paid‑in foreign capital of USD 45 million; paid‑in capital returned by Zhejiang entrepreneurs of RMB 2.2 billion.

To deliver solid work this year, we must consistently uphold the guiding principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Targeting investment expansion via high‑quality investment promotion and development driven by transformation, we will carry out themed campaigns: “Quality‑Improvement Year for Investment Promotion”, “Project Advancement Tough‑Battle Year”, “Innovation‑Driven Breakthrough Year”, “Deepened Transformation‑Upgrading Year”, and “Work‑Style Improvement Year”.
