On the morning of 12 morning, Xiao Zhiheng, the Standing Committee of the Guangdong provincial Party committee and vice governor of Guangdong, briefed dozens of key network media reporters in Guangzhou on the main achievements of Guangdong in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the fruits of emancipating the mind and learning and discussing activities, and the main measures for Guangdong to strive to practice the Scientific Outlook on Development pacesetter.

Xiao Zhiheng pointed out that the development of Guangdong has "three long and three short", and in response to a series of new difficulties and challenges such as the impact of the US financial crisis and the factors of world economic recession, Guangdong has taken five major measures accordingly, and Guangdong has a broad prospect of achieving a new round of great development and improvement.

Xiao Zhiheng has pointed out that in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, Guangdong's economic and social development has made remarkable achievements, and the economic and social situation has undergone tremendous changes.

GDP increased from 18 billion 600 million yuan in 1978 to 31084 billion yuan last year, with an average annual growth rate of 13.8%.

General budgetary revenue increased from 4 billion 200 million yuan in 1978 to 278 billion 600 million yuan last year, ranking first in the country in 17 consecutive years.

In 2007, the total revenue from Guangdong reached 775 billion 100 million yuan.

The total volume of foreign trade imports and exports increased from US $1 billion 600 million in 1978 to US $634 billion last year, with an average annual growth of 23%, accounting for 29%. of the total foreign trade of the country. The actual utilization of foreign capital increased from US $90 million in 1978 to US $19 billion 600 million last year, and in the 30 years it amounted to US $194 billion 500 million.

The balance of household savings deposits increased from 1 billion 760 million yuan in 1978 to 2 trillion and 300 billion yuan last year, which has increased by more than 10 times in 30 years.

Xiao Zhiheng stressed that Guangdong has achieved such great achievements in just 30 years, the fundamental reason lies in persisting in reform and opening up.

Xiao Zhiheng, who has developed "three long three short" in Guangdong, said that after 30 years of efforts, Guangdong's reform and development has stood at a new historical starting point and is in a critical period of turning into a scientific development track.

It is a major historical issue to face the advantages and avoid disadvantages, foster strengths and weaknesses, solve problems of scientific development, and promote economic and social development.

From the actual development of Guangdong Province, it is mainly "three long three short".

"Three long": one is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, many overseas Chinese.

Guangdong is closely related to Hong Kong and Macao, and is closely related to each other.

In 2007, the total volume of import and export trade between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau was more than 413 billion 600 million US dollars. By the end of 2007, Guangdong's total investment in Hong Kong and Macao was about 120000000000 US dollars, accounting for more than 60% of the total.

At the same time, over 20 million of overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Guangdong are native to Guangdong. It accounts for about 2/3. of the whole country.

Two, the economy is large and the export oriented economy is flourishing.

Guangdong's GDP in 2007 accounted for 1/8 of the whole country and the total revenue of 1/7.. This huge economic aggregate has obvious advantages in the whole country.

At the same time, the characteristics of the export-oriented economy are very obvious.

The total volume of foreign trade and imports reached US $634 billion, accounting for about 30% of the total volume of the country, of which general trade was US $105 billion.

In particular, private enterprises have become a new force in Guangdong's foreign trade.

By the end of last year, Guangdong had more than 80 thousand private enterprises with the right to import and export business, and its total export volume was US $65 billion 200 million.

At present, there are more than 180 world top 500 enterprises investing 689 enterprises in Guangdong Province.

Three, the Pearl River Delta region is well-developed and dynamic.

In 2007, the total GDP of nine cities in the Pearl River Delta amounted to 25607 billion yuan, accounting for 79.7% of the province's total; the per capita GDP was 54721 yuan, or about 7000 dollars.

The Pearl River Delta region is one of the regions with the highest degree of marketization and the strongest supporting capacity in the industry. It is an important manufacturing base with certain international influence. It is known as the three largest economic engine of the whole country along with the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bay area.

"Three short": first, the quality of economic development is not high, and the international competitiveness of industry is not strong.

Although the total economic volume in Guangdong ranks first in the country, GDP per capita is lagging behind Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Shanghai.

At the same time, Guangdong's labor productivity is not high, and the GDP created by every 1 additional labor force is only 120 thousand yuan, which is much lower than Jiangsu's 880 thousand yuan, Shandong's 220 thousand yuan and Zhejiang's 210 thousand yuan.

In terms of output per square meter, Shanghai's GDP per square kilometer is 150 million yuan, Jiangsu is 23 million 420 thousand yuan, Zhejiang is 17 million 680 thousand yuan, and Guangdong province is only 17 million 20 thousand yuan.

In terms of industrial competitiveness and independent innovation, Guangdong's high-tech industry is still in the middle and low end of the global industrial chain as a whole, with low added value and low technology content, and the core technology of 85-90% is in the hands of foreign enterprises.

The development of the third industry is lagging behind, and the proportion of the three industries is even lower than the average level of the world's least developed countries.

Two, there is a big gap in regional development.

In 2006, the difference coefficient of Guangdong's regional development reached 0.77, higher than Jiangsu's 0.71, Shandong's 0.67 and Zhejiang's 0.38, also higher than the national average of 0.67, close to the 0.80 critical value of the international coefficient.

Three, the development of social undertakings is lagging behind.

The gross enrollment rate of universities in Guangdong is 25.6%, which is 5 percentage points lower than that in Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

The resident population has 324 students per 10000 senior middle school students, and is also lower than the average level of 340 people in the whole country.

The number of doctors per 1000 people is 1.6, which has just reached the national average.

The number of skilled personnel per 10000 people is 198 in Shanghai, 80 in Jiangsu, and 60 in Guangdong.

Five major measures to deal with the challenges are faced with a series of new difficulties and challenges, such as the severe snowstorm and freezing disaster this year, as well as the adjustment of domestic economic policies and the changes in the economic situation, especially the impact of the US financial crisis and the factors of the world economic recession. This has led to a larger decline in the growth rate of Guangdong's economy.

In the first three quarters, the gross domestic product of the province maintained a two digit growth, but the growth rate dropped 4.3 percentage points over the same period last year.

Xiao Zhiheng pointed out that in order to minimize the impact of various adverse factors and prevent a major economic downturn, Guangdong has targeted the following measures: first, actively expand domestic demand and expand the domestic market.

We should actively guide consumption expectations and expand household consumption.

Efforts should be made to promote consumption growth and study the establishment of a minimum wage standard adjustment mechanism suitable for economic development and price growth.

We should speed up the improvement of the social security system and increase the consumption expectation of residents.

We should improve public facilities and services in rural areas and expand consumption in rural areas.

Two, efforts should be made to expand investment.

We should promote social investment with major projects and further improve infrastructure conditions.

The implementation of the "new ten projects" has 222 projects and plans to invest 2 trillion and 300 billion yuan in 5 years.

Three is to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.

The Guangdong provincial Party committee and the provincial government formulated the decision on speeding up the construction of a modern industrial system.

We should increase our support for industrial technology independent innovation, focus on promoting the construction of major projects in new and high technology industries and advanced manufacturing industries, and strive to develop modern services such as finance, logistics, information and so on. Great progress has been made in some major projects in the modern industrial system, especially in the modern service industry.

In the past 2008-2012 years, the Guangdong provincial government has allocated 1 billion yuan annually to invest in the high-end industries with the core of modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry.

We should pform traditional industries with high and new technology, focus on developing modern industrial system, improve independent innovation ability, and strive to enhance industrial competitiveness.

We should increase support for the private economy and conscientiously implement various supportive policies for the development of the private economy.

Four, we should adjust and optimize the structure of foreign trade and economic cooperation.

We should push forward the adjustment of foreign trade mode and product mix, improve the quality of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and focus on supporting exports of general trade exports, brand products and products with superior characteristics, so as to promote the pformation and upgrading of processing trade.

Vigorously develop new markets such as ASEAN, EU, Africa and Russia.

Secretary Wang Yang and governor Huang Huahua respectively took part in the economic and trade activities in ASEAN and Western Europe, and achieved fruitful results.

At the same time, we should improve the investment environment, innovate the ways of attracting investment and encourage the mechanism, and encourage the introduction of investment from developed countries and the top 500 enterprises in the world.

We should improve the long-term mechanism of "going out" and promote the service system, and encourage the dominant enterprises to expand their foreign investment cooperation.

We should implement the policy measures of the CEPA service industry open agreement in Guangdong, and focus on strengthening cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

Five is to increase support and service to enterprises.

Help the enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises to solve the difficulties and problems in production and management.

The credit guarantee institutions of small and medium-sized enterprises have been set up in 21 prefectures and cities above the province to speed up the construction of technological innovation platform for small and medium-sized enterprises, and support the direct financing of qualified enterprises.

Optimize government services, improve business environment, and strengthen and improve services to enterprises.

In order to improve and standardize the labor market and employment training system, the provincial finance will arrange 40 billion yuan in the next five years to support industrial pfer, labor pfer and training.

Xiao Zhiheng also said that Guangdong will conscientiously implement the decision and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on further expanding domestic demand and promoting stable and rapid economic growth in the next step, and take active measures to increase investment, strengthen financial guidance and support to the economy, speed up the construction of heavy and heavy projects, strengthen support for enterprises, strive to maintain steady and fast development of Guangdong's economy, and make due contributions to the country's response to the international financial crisis.

He said that in view of the international and domestic environment, the conditions for development in Guangdong in the next few years have both advantages and disadvantages. In general, opportunities are greater than challenges.

We are confident that we can make Guangdong better and achieve a bright future in the new round of great development and great improvement.
