[Shanghai One Week] Behind the two connections, what do Shanghai want to say to foreign companies

"Continuously enhance global investors' confidence in Shanghai" "

The test of the epidemic on Shanghai is still continuing. From July 11th to 18th, Shanghai held a meeting of the leading group of the municipal epidemic prevention and control work within 8 days to make continuous deployment for the newly issued epidemic disposal since July.

At the same time, the regression of the economic and social recovery in all aspects has also become more urgent over time.

Last weekend and early this week, the National Bureau of Statistics and the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Statistics announced the first half of the year's economic data. In the first half of the year, the GDP in Shanghai was 1934.931 billion yuan, which was calculated at comparable prices, a decrease of 5.7%compared with the same period last year; the general public budget revenue of the city in the city was 379.479 billion yuan, a decrease of 19.8%from the same period last year.

From the data point of view, the impact of the Shanghai Economic Institute is unprecedented, and the resumption of re -reviving the task is unprecedentedly arduous. However, at the same time, comprehensive analysis of economic trends can also find that the trend of long -term good economic development in Shanghai has not changed.

If it enters the normalization prevention and control, the main economic indicators are showing a significant rise. Data show that the added value of industries above designated size in the city in June increased by 13.9%year -on -year; the financial and information service industries increased by 6.1%and 5.3%over the same period last year.

After the epidemic was pressed for more than two months of "pause keys", the ups and downs of the data were not surprising. It is undoubtedly a priority to promote the return of the economy as soon as possible. Whether indicator data can rise as expected is the most important driving force is the confidence of various market entities, and on this basis, it attracts various types of capital and projects to a greater extent.

On July 13, Li Qiang, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Ye Hongmu, CEO of L'Oreal Group, France held a video connection. Six days later, he once again met with a video connection to the chairman and CEO of the executive board of Germany Ge Lihe.

In response to the advantages of related enterprises and the development direction of Shanghai's key industries, Li Qiang issued invitations to all parties to invite greater efforts to invest in Shanghai in Shanghai, expand the function of the headquarters, and enhance the energy level of the headquarters.

After the epidemic was relatively stable, this was the third time Li Qiang met with a video of foreign companies. On June 19, he said in the connection CEO of Germany Koschuang Co., Ltd., Shi Lewen, said that Shanghai will unswervingly promote high -level opening to the outside world to create a more market -oriented, rule of law, and international business environment.

When the heads of L'Oreal and Merck Group were connected, Li Qiang emphasized again, "We will unswervingly promote higher levels of opening up and promote Shanghai to deeply integrate into the global economic system."

This is the re -emphasis on its own open positioning. Judging from the response of multinational companies, it also shows that global investors' confidence in Shanghai has not changed, and the prospects of multinational companies in Shanghai have not changed.

The significance of foreign capital to the Shanghai economy is self -evident. During the epidemic period, although foreign investment was significantly impacted, the actual amount of foreign direct investment in the city in the first half of the year still increased by 0.2%over the same period last year. , 516.

In addition, the total import and export in June also showed a "V" flip situation compared with May. , Trade and shipping center cities.

The Twelfth Party Congress report of Shanghai reiterated its open position in a considerable length. In addition to the macro clarification of the "socialist modern metropolis with world influence", which is a very open -characteristic goal, the report specifically discusses the "open economic advantage" when explaining the specific tasks of the next five years, It also emphasizes that "enhances the adsorption power of the innovation chain of the international industrial chain supply chain, promotes the open advantage and then builds the image, and continuously enhances the confidence of global investors in Shanghai."

For global investors, confidence comes from stable expectations in all aspects, including an open, transparent, and efficient institutional environment, policy environment, and a series of specific economic and social governance gestures.

As in the past, as before as a foreign executive, Li Qiang repeatedly stated in several video connections that Shanghai will continue to optimize the business environment and provide better services to help enterprises achieve greater and better development in Shanghai.

Steady expectations can we mention confidence -since the epidemic, everybody tries to help market players' stable expectations and confidence, which has been repeatedly emphasized, and is listed as the top priority of the current work.

For Shanghai, this aspect tests the current help to help enterprises and help all types of market entities to spend the difficulties as soon as possible; on the one hand, it is necessary to provide clear and stable certain policies and measures in terms of goals, environment, and functional positioning. Let the market entities be able to take root and focus on development with peace of mind.

The working status and operation gestures in all aspects may affect the expectations and perceptions of the city's development environment. The subject is very large and the incision is small. For various departments and cadres at all levels in Shanghai, "expectations" and "confidence" must be the top priority to the advancement of various tasks.
