Confronted with the increasingly deepening impact of international financial crisis and the complicated domestic situation with more major and difficult matters, people of the whole province actively responded to the severe challenges and withstood extraordinary tests.

Social programs advanced comprehensively. Society remained harmonious and stable. Solid progress was made in building the moderately prosperous society in an all-around way.

        1. Maintaining relatively fast economic growth
        Regulation on economic operation was timely and forceful. We strengthened the monitoring and analysis on economic situation and regulation on operation and intensified guarantee of factors and policies’ regulation to ensure the attainment of goal of economic and social development and accomplishment of strategic tasks of economic restructuring for the whole year. Facing severe situation of increasing pressure of economic sliding, we acted in responsive and active manner, involved multiple parties in the policy-making procedures and staged over 10 policy documents on expanding domestic demand, increasing fiscal and financial support, assisting small and medium-sized enterprises and promoting the healthy and steady development of foreign economy and trade and real estate market. Jiangsu’s economy maintained sound momentum of relatively fast development, stable price, optimized structure and improved quality.

        Policies of supporting enterprises were practical and effective. We energetically push forward the cooperation between enterprises and banks by organizing matching activities like “Hundred Billion Yuan loaned to Hundred Enterprises”. An additional RMB 431.1 billion was loaned last year, increasing by RMB 70.4 billion over the previous year. We actively forged the provincial credit guarantee system by investing RMB 1 billion in provincial credit re-guarantee company. We encouraged enterprises to directly raise fund in capital market.  Eleven more Jiangsu’s enterprises were listed in domestic and overseas exchange market and RMB 28.6 billion worth of bonds of each type were issued.

High and new technological enterprises were certified in accordance with the new standard and 1368 enterprises enjoyed the adjusted corporate income tax incentives. Enterprises’ burdens were practically lessened with 121 administrative charges and 2 government fund abandoned and RMB 3.9 billion charges reduced annually.  

        Driving force of investment and consumption was strengthened. Last year saw RMB 1.5 trillion worth of investment on social fixed assets, up by 22.7%.

        Independent Innovation capacity was continuously enhanced. The investment in science and technology in the whole society exceeded RMB 100 billion, among which RMB 54 billion was in R&D and over 80% was investment by enterprises. Jiangsu is home to more than 20,000 private sci-tech enterprises with the contribution rate of 35% to the progress of the high and new technological industry.

We worked out 10 policies and measures to support North Jiangsu’s development, staged guidance and relevant polices to rejuvenate Xuzhou, the old industrial base and vigorously promoted the industrial transfer from South to North and joint establishment of development zones. Thanks to these efforts, the growth rate of major economic indicators in North Jiangsu remained higher than the provincial average. We encouraged Central Jiangsu to energetically develop advantageous and featured industry and formed up new pattern of integrated regional development along the east coast and Yangtze River. We guided South Jiangsu to transform the development mode and pressed ahead industrial transformation and upgrading.

In the wake of the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province, we extensively mobilized the mass, urgently responded and committed the whole province’s resources to the earthquake rescue and relief operation. We accumulatively sent 12,900 rescue staff to the quake zone, organized the production of 306,000 tents, built 29,200 units of movable plank houses and donated RMB 4.3 billion. The post-disaster relief and reconstruction assistance to Mianzhu went on smoothly.

        Over the last year, we strengthened the self construction by taking the opportunity of deeply studying and practicing the concept on scientific development and achieved outstanding effect. Following the theme of “Promoting Scientific Development, Building a Wonderful Jiangsu”, we formulated and implemented 7 policy documents including accelerating the economic development mode and further confirmed the mechanism of guiding the work, interest and evaluation with scientific development. We improved the scientific and democratic decision-making mechanism and further made government affairs public. The government work became more transparent and public trust in government was further enhanced.

We committed to building the clean government, earnestly transform the carders’ work style, enhance the service efficiency and strengthen the building of the civil servant team. 

        While fully recognizing the achievement, we were clearly aware of the numerous difficulties and problems in Jiangsu’s economic and social development. Since last year, we faced severe challenges to maintain the steady and relatively fast economic development due to the gradually deepening impact of international financial crisis, remarkable slowdown of the world economic growth, weakened external demand and increased uncertainties of economic development. We were confronted with the increasing pressure of the decline of economic growth rate such as the continuous drop of industrial production and foreign trade, operating difficulties in some enterprises, severe employment situation and increased factors leading to the reduction in government revenue and the increase in government expenditures.

        Meanwhile, the conflicts in economic structure exist. The industrial structure remains irrational and technological level is relatively low. The advantages of science and education remain to be transformed into the advantages of innovation and competition. There are increasing difficulties in maintaining the steady development of agriculture and farmers’ sustained growth of income. Some low-income people live a difficult life. Social programs are underdeveloped compared with economic development. Public management is still weak. The transformation of government functions is incomplete. A small number of government employees, especially leading carders lack the awareness of potential dangers and the spirit of innovation. Some formalistic and bureaucratic still exist to the various degree. A tiny minority of officials even abuses their power for personal gains and commits corruption.
 
        We must be highly responsible to the country and people, maintain a high sense of mission and urgency, fully estimate difficulties, take into full consideration of measures, work even more industriously, earnestly address the outstanding conflicts and problems in economic and social development, try every means to minimize the unfavorable factors and tightly seized the initiative of development.

        Fellow deputies, the achievements of the last year have not come easily, which should be attributed to the great efforts of people of the whole province in strengthening conviction, pressing ahead resolutely, boldly meeting the difficulties and waging indomitable struggle. With the new achievements in economic and social development, we present a precious gift to 30th anniversary of the reform and opening-up. On behalf of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government, I would like to extend my highest tribute and heartfelt gratitude to all the people across the Province. My gratitude also goes to the deputies of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Congress, members of CPPCC Jiangsu Branch, democratic parties, federations of commerce and industry, mass organizations, people from all walks of life, the People’s Liberation Army stationed in Jiangsu, the armed police forces, public security police，central ministries and committees and sister provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities as well as to our compatriots in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, overseas as well as foreign friends.

        II Overall Tasks in 2009

        The year 2009 is the most difficult year for Jiangsu’s economic development since the beginning of the new century as well as a year of great opportunities. The impact of the global financial crisis is getting worse. However, the general pattern that China is in an important period of strategic opportunities remains unchanged, and the fundamentals and long-term trend of Jiangsu’s economic development remain unchanged. The central government resolutely came up with policies and measures to expand domestic demand, giving powerful impetus and strong assurance for maintaining economic growth and boosting economic development. The external economic situation has experienced significant changes, which reversely provides a driving force for expanding domestic demand and adjusting the structure and creates favorable conditions for better utilizing foreign resources, technology and talents. After 30 years’development since the reform and opening-up, Jiangsu’s industrialization, urbanization, marketization and internationalization have been constantly intensified, its overall strengths and international competitiveness remarkably promoted and the market’s capacity to manage crises and withstand risks and its creative vigor notably improved. Years of experience tell us that the more serious the situation, the more adherent we should be to the strategic thought that development is the absolute principle. We should focus all our time and energy on development, increase all cadres’ confidence in development, enterprises’ confidence in investment and individuals’ confidence in consumption and strengthen people’s conviction and resolution in pushing forward the Two Leads. As long as we firmly rely on the masses, bring into full play the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, we will be able to turn challenges into opportunities and pressure into impetus, take the lead in dealing with the global financial crisis and promoting steady and rapid economic growth, and make better contribution to the national development.
