In this year's plan report and budget report, promoting regional coordinated development has become a high-frequency word. For example, increasing expenditure on regional coordinated development in special transfer payments, enhancing the balance and coordination of regional policies, and adhering to the implementation of major regional strategies and regional coordinated development strategies will effectively promote a big step forward in the process of common prosperity. The imbalance of urban and rural regional development is the biggest weakness of high-quality development in Guangdong. In the new journey of striving forward, how can Guangdong narrow the regional development gap and accelerate the coordinated development of regions in combination with the actual situation of Guangdong Province? With these questions, the reporter of Nanfang Daily talked to the Guangdong representative members and relevant regional economic research experts attending the meeting in Beijing. Zhang Hongwei, deputy to the National People's Congress, chairman of Shaoguan Federation of industry and Commerce and chairman of Guangdong East Sunshine Technology Holding Co., Ltd.: Give full play to the resource endowment advantages of different regions Nanfang Daily: in your opinion, how to solve the imbalance of regional development in Guangdong? Zhang Hongwei: a single flower is not spring. Spring is full of flowers. The natural resource endowments of the Pearl River Delta and Eastern, Western and northern Guangdong have their own advantages, economic and social development has its own characteristics, and there is a lot of room for collaborative development. Guangdong should give full play to the resource endowment advantages of different regions. For example, Shaoguan has resource advantages such as ecology and tourism. Through industrial division and layout, Guangdong can make a difference in equipment manufacturing industry, medical and health industry, health tourism industry and other fields. Jieyang, Zhanjiang, Maoming and other cities in the East and West wings of the coastal economic belt have unique advantages in developing heavy chemical, steel and other industries; The northern ecological development zone can cultivate emerging leading industries. For example, around carbon peak and carbon neutralization, Shaoguan, Heyuan, Meizhou and other places can consider cultivating new energy industries to form new growth points. In recent years, Guangdong has proposed to speed up the construction of the regional development pattern of "one core, one belt and one area", which is a new exploration of regional coordinated development, develop their strengths, and promote common prosperity with more balanced and coordinated regional development. Nanfang Daily: what suggestions do you have for Guangdong to build a high-quality regional development pattern of "one core, one belt and one zone"? Zhang Hongwei: it is suggested to promote regional in-depth linkage from the perspective of strengthening the interconnection of transportation infrastructure. The backbone transportation network connecting Eastern, Western and northern Guangdong in the Pearl River Delta has been built. Next, we should continue to weave a dense road network. To solve the imbalance and disharmony of regional development, we should also strengthen the assistance of talents and funds. Compared with the Pearl River Delta, northern Guangdong has few industrial projects and limited financial assistance. It is suggested to strengthen the government's interest discount and promote financial institutions to maintain a certain proportion of funds for special use in eastern, Western and northern Guangdong. At the same time, we will promote the balanced allocation of public service resources such as education, health care, culture and sports, and introduce policies such as tax incentives, social security relief and entrepreneurship assistance to attract more young people to return home and promote more industries to stay locally. Nanfang Daily: both the plan report and the budget report mentioned that we should support the old revolutionary base areas to accelerate the revitalization and development. What enlightenment does this have for Guangdong to enhance the balance and coordination of regional development? Zhang Hongwei: supporting the revitalization and development of the old Soviet areas is also an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity. At present, there are 11 Soviet districts and counties in Guangdong, such as Meizhou and Dapu. I suggest that these counties and districts be included in the scope of central state financial support and counterpart support from central state organs and relevant units, so as to further accelerate the revitalization of the old Soviet districts. In addition to red resources, Guangdong should also play the card of green resources. For example, Shaoguan, an old industrial city, should not only do a good job in the development of "Rongwan" and promote the implementation of Counterpart Assistance, but also focus on information, intelligent and green development. Recently, Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao launched the construction of a national hub node of the national integrated computing network, and planned to establish a Shaoguan Data Center cluster. It is suggested that Shaoguan should take this opportunity to accelerate the cultivation of big data industry and digital economy. In addition, we should vigorously develop the new energy industry and seize the first opportunity in the carbon trading market. Wu Yihuan, member of the CPPCC National Committee and vice chairman of the CPPCC Shenzhen Municipal Committee: Regional industrial cooperation should be supported by "package" policies Nanfang Daily: the government work report proposes to promote the coordinated development of the eastern, central, Western and northeast regions and support industrial gradient transfer and regional cooperation. For Guangdong, how to promote regional industrial cooperation? Wu Yihuan: industrial cooperation is an important starting point to promote regional coordinated development. However, many factors, such as imperfect infrastructure and administrative barriers, restrict the deepening of cross regional industrial cooperation. In my opinion, we should focus on the key links of industrial cooperation, introduce a "package" policy, and form accurate, differentiated and combined policy support in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, promoting talent flow, strengthening collaborative innovation and open sharing. At the same time, we should strengthen the overall coordination of industrial development planning of urban agglomerations, carry out unified planning and preparation of urban industrial development in the region from the overall development strategic deployment of urban agglomerations, realize the mutual connection and complementary advantages of industrial development planning of cities in the region, and give full play to the driving role of core cities and the synergy of the region as a whole. Nanfang Daily: in addition to industrial cooperation, what aspects should we focus on? Wu Yihuan: it is also very important to help regional coordinated development and strengthen financial service support. We should further increase the intensity and accuracy of credit granting to underdeveloped regions, continuously improve the special credit granting mechanism around the key areas of common prosperity, and ensure that the growth rate of special credit granting is not lower than the average growth rate of credit granting. At the same time, we should improve the level of financial innovation, better serve and support the development of underdeveloped areas. Encourage financial institutions to expand their financial business for underdeveloped areas, and provide policy support in tax, supervision and other aspects for commercial financial institutions to serve underdeveloped areas. In addition, we should also speed up the improvement of the financial service system for key areas. For example, financial services in key areas of common prosperity will be embedded in assessment and evaluation; Establish a professional review team to improve the approval efficiency; Embedding the launch requirements in key areas into investigation, review, approval, credit use, post loan and other links; Strengthen the support of special credit scale and give priority to meeting the financing needs of key areas. Nanfang Daily: the plan report proposes to deepen the reform of investment and financing system and mechanism, and encourage and guide private capital to participate in the construction of short board projects such as municipal administration, transportation, water conservancy, ecological environment and social undertakings. What do you think of this? Wu Yihuan: if you want to be rich, build roads first. Previously, I conducted research in many parts of the country and Guangdong Province and found that due to limited financial resources, it is often difficult for underdeveloped regions to support transportation construction for a long time, which is easy to lead to construction interruption, or it is difficult to reach a cooperative consensus on transportation construction schemes among different regions, which hinders the progress of the project. In my opinion, we should speed up the establishment and improvement of regional cooperation mechanism for transportation construction. In the process of multi-party cooperation and consultation, all localities can implement the differentiated sharing system according to the actual level of economic development, financial capacity and resource endowment, reasonably divide the financial authority and expenditure responsibility, coordinate the rules for the supply and use of financial, human and material resources, and effectively solve the problems of "who will build" and "how to build". At the same time, we should optimize the investment and financing system and mechanism in the field of transportation, introduce social capital, implement the government led debt financing mode, and solve the financing problems in underdeveloped areas through multi-channel financing such as fiscal and tax, special funds, national debt funds and commercial loans. Chen Hongyu, former vice president and professor of Guangdong provincial Party School: Promote industrial "chain" and economic "circle" Nanfang Daily: how do you view the progress of Guangdong in promoting regional coordinated development? Chen Hongyu: with the comprehensive development of infrastructure construction and the improvement of the level of equalization of public services, the shortcomings of Guangdong's regional coordinated development are being accelerated, which also means that the 14th Five Year Plan period will be a key period for Guangdong to promote regional coordinated development. It is suggested to strengthen the endogenous driving force of the East and West wings of the coastal economic belt and the northern Ecological Development Zone, combine the long-term goal with the short-term goal, and combine the "blood transfusion" and "hematopoiesis" to realize the "chain" of industry and the "circle" of economic integration. Industrial "chain" refers to promoting the realization of industrial synergy between eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and northern Guangdong, the Pearl River Delta and the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. This not only includes the close cooperation between the upstream and downstream links of the industrial chain, but also analyzes the life cycle of key industrial products, and promotes the cross regional coordination of supply chain, industrial chain, value chain and innovation chain around important products in the rising stage of development and huge market potential. Economic "circle" refers to breaking through the scope of a single city and planning economic development. Previously, the industrial layout and investment promotion policies were often promoted separately according to administrative divisions. In recent years, Guangdong has promoted the construction of 20 strategic industrial clusters and the construction of "a group of five circles", which is to promote local industrial chains and factor resources to break the barriers of administrative divisions and truly realize the integrated development of metropolitan areas and urban agglomerations. Nanfang Daily: in recent years, Guangdong has "customized" support policies to promote the development of Zhuhai, Shantou, Zhanjiang and other places. How should these cities accelerate their development with the help of policy advantages and realize the radiation drive to the surrounding areas? Chen Hongyu: regional development has significant periodicity, including investment cycle, technology cycle, macroeconomic cycle, population and employment cycle, etc. For example, from the perspective of technology cycle, if the backward production capacity of the Pearl River Delta is transferred to Eastern, Western and northern Guangdong, as the relevant industrial technology has entered the late stage of development, the product competitiveness will continue to decline, and the economic driving effect on the transfer destination can only be maintained for a few years, so it is difficult to maintain long-term steady development. On the contrary, countercyclical operation is to extend the industrial chain in the Pearl River Delta, which is still in the period of rapid development, to eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and northern Guangdong as soon as possible, especially to Shantou, Zhanjiang and other cities, give full play to the advantages of these cities in industrial infrastructure and hardware facilities, and provide resources and power for their radiation to drive the surrounding areas. In this process, the key is that relevant cities should accelerate the transformation of development concepts, fully recognize the important role of two-way assistance, and realize that only by integrating into metropolitan areas and urban agglomerations can they maximize their comparative advantage. Nanfang Daily: last year, Guangdong made it clear that an additional 21 billion yuan would be allocated in five years for the people in the old Soviet areas to "drink good water, take good roads and read good books". How can Guangdong better support the development of old Soviet areas? Chen Hongyu: the old Soviet Area in Guangdong has a large area and a large population. It is particularly important to determine the development direction and development mode according to local conditions. The development of the old Soviet areas should be accelerated at the three levels of the whole province. First, improve the "people's livelihood and well-being". For example, 21 billion yuan of new investment should be spent on the blade, solidly improve the level of public services and improve the quality of life of the people. Second, enhance the "hematopoietic capacity", introduce and build key projects and platforms in key areas, and tap and activate development potential. Third, give an "open platform". In order to achieve high-quality development, the old Soviet area must increase its opening-up. Only by opening up can we integrate into a wider regional development space and obtain more opportunities. (Xinhua News Agency)
