To start an enterprise, complete materials can be completed in half an hour at the earliest; The overall customs clearance time of import and export was reduced to 15.66 hours and 0.76 hours respectively, leading the country; Overcoming the impact of the epidemic, the cross-border e-commerce industry has developed rapidly, and the number of export tickets has increased by 450%... This is a hot land for investment and development, and a thriving highland. It is the Fuzhou Area of Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone (hereinafter referred to as "Fuzhou Free Trade Zone"), which was established on April 21, 2015.
Over the past seven years since its listing, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone has thoroughly implemented the central government's strategic deployment for the pilot free trade zone, closely focused on the strategic mission of "serving the national opening test system, setting a benchmark for government governance, and building a highland for regional development", focused on the reform and innovation of the system and mechanism, creating a first-class business environment, and accelerating the development of emerging industries. It has worked hard and forged ahead, and achieved impressive experimental results. By the end of February this year, there had been 45400 new enterprises in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, accounting for 14% of the city's total, and 924.087 billion yuan of new registered capital, accounting for 21.1% of the city's total. At the same time, with an area of less than 3/1000 of Fuzhou, it has attracted nearly 40% of the newly increased foreign-funded and Taiwan funded enterprises in the city.
Moving towards a new era, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone is fully committed to a new journey. In 2021, Fuzhou New Area and Fuzhou Free Trade Zone will achieve the integrated development of "two zones", injecting strong new momentum into the all-round promotion of high-quality development. The person in charge of Fuzhou Free Trade Zone Management Committee said.
To reform and innovate, we need efficiency to fully meet the needs of enterprises
Driven by innovation, Fuguang has grown into a leading enterprise in the domestic optical lens industry, and is the first one to land on the science and technology innovation board among Fujian enterprises, known as "the first stock of Fujian enterprise science and technology innovation board". The rapid growth of Fuguang cannot be separated from the support of Fuzhou Free Trade Zone to vigorously promote financial innovation and fully support the real economy. Up to now, the accumulated fund size of the fund town in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone has reached 173.7 billion yuan, and 27.5 billion yuan has been invested in physical projects in Fujian Province, helping Fuguang become the first share of Fujian Science and Technology Innovation Edition, and creating a "masterpiece" of financial services to promote the transformation and upgrading of the real economy.
In recent years, financial innovation projects represented by Fund Town have emerged in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone. In the first 18 batches of innovation measures issued by the Provincial Free Trade Office, there were 57 financial innovations in total, and Fuzhou District was the first in 36. Among them, 14 were rated as the first in China by a third-party evaluation agency, including the first cross-border business blockchain service platform in China, the first "reverse risk participation" business in China, and so on. A series of innovative measures have taken effect, forming a good development pattern of accelerated integration of financial services and the real economy.
The rapid development of financial innovation is the epitome of the all-round reform and innovation of the system and mechanism in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone. Since its establishment, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone has deeply cultivated the "experimental field" of reform and opening up. Guided by the needs and problems of enterprises, it has launched 18 batches of 246 innovative measures, including 90 national initiatives, accounting for more than 40% of Fujian Free Trade Zone, and 25 national and 105 provincial ones.
Guided by reform and innovation, the Cross border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone, Fuzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Jiangyin Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and non state-owned crude oil import qualification, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone actively promoted the implementation of major policies, and continued to gather "reform momentum" for high-quality development. In 2021, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone will launch innovative measures to issue construction permits for housing construction projects in stages, accelerate the handling of construction review procedures, and effectively promote the implementation of projects. This measure was selected as one of the "Top Ten Cases of Institutional Innovation in China's Pilot Free Trade Zone from 2020 to 2021" by Sun Yat sen University.
At present, in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, reforms with system innovation as the core and enterprise demand as the guidance are everywhere, promoting investment attraction, project construction and other key work to continuously improve efficiency. Taking the "access to electricity" that enterprises pay close attention to as an example, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, relying on the smart power platform, focuses on the three core links of enterprise power management, promotes the further acceleration of power management by promoting services such as "pilot power management services", "auxiliary preparation of power supply schemes", and "completion inspection cloud services", so as to reduce the average power connection time of large and medium-sized enterprises, small and micro enterprises to less than 50 days and 6 days.
The reform drive will stimulate the vitality of enterprises and increase the momentum of development. According to statistics, in the past seven years, there have been 45400 new enterprises in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, seven times the number before listing. The cross-border RMB business was 54 billion yuan, 13 times more than that before listing
To effectively create a first-class business environment towards the integration of "two districts"
In 2021, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone will usher in an important moment in its development - under the active promotion of the provincial and municipal Party committees, Fuzhou New Area and Fuzhou Free Trade Zone will achieve the integrated development of "two zones", further straighten out the management system, and solve the "two pieces of skin" problem of the management system that Fuzhou Free Trade Zone has long called for.
"We fully grasped the opportunity of management system adjustment in Fuzhou New Area and Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, scientifically planned and clearly identified the position of the Free Trade Zone in the new round of development of the city, accelerated the integration of functions of the 'two zones', overlapped policy advantages, promoted the standardization of government services, and created a first-class business environment for the development of the' two zones'." Introduction by the person in charge of the Management Committee of Fuzhou Free Trade Zone.
"Too efficient! We have investment in dozens of cities, and the business environment here is in the forefront." A few days ago, Chen Shitao, the person in charge of Fangzhouxing (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd., praised the government service of Fuzhou Free Trade Zone after completing the application procedures for the pilot e-commerce of refined oil retail business. At that time, affected by the epidemic situation, he was unable to come to Fuzhou from Xiamen for specific handling. The relevant departments of Fuzhou Free Trade Zone immediately started to handle the formalities. It took only half a day to complete the business license and one day to complete the dangerous chemical certificate, which broke the new speed of government service.
Now, in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone, a set of strong and powerful "combination fists" have been successively played to improve service efficiency.

It is the country's first "3A one-stop" tax service model to realize the "one-stop" and "all-weather" tax service model. Implement the integrated reform of "four more and simple" for construction project approval, and reduce the approval time limit of the whole process to 90 working days and that of small projects to 50 working days; The registration of real estate mortgage is "handled online without meeting", and the processing time limit is reduced from 4 working days to 24 hours.
Foreign trade is more convenient -- the country's first reform in the management of visa of origin, the filing of foreign trade operators and the filing of enterprises of origin "two certificates in one". The "single window" of international trade has been upgraded to version 4.0, and the paperless customs clearance at ports has reached more than 99%; The intelligent tally system was innovatively launched, and the sending time of the customs tally result message was shortened from 6 hours to 1 minute. In December 2021, the overall customs clearance time of import and export in Fuzhou customs area will be reduced by 86% and 93% respectively compared with that in 2017, leading the country in terms of timeliness. Export tax rebate was reduced to 3 working days, ranking among the fastest in China.
Acceleration of port construction - In 2021, Jiangyin Port will open new international routes such as COSCO Haimei West Line and Maersk "Haisi". Fuzhou Port has opened 58 container liner routes, including 27 foreign trade routes (including 11 "Silk Road Maritime" routes). At the same time, we will accelerate the construction of "smart ports", launch a new system of smart cloud checkpoints in 2022, and achieve data aggregation and sharing of terminal channel equipment and cloud checkpoint platform. From January to February this year, the container throughput of Jiangyin Port reached 328500 TEUs, up 5.53% year on year.
Since its establishment, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone has been benchmarking the World Bank's standards, looking for weaknesses and weaknesses, making efforts to reduce links and improve efficiency, continuously optimizing the international business environment, striving to overcome the adverse impact of the epidemic on international economic and trade exchanges, and achieving a steady growth of two-way investment.
