further opening up and accelerating the foreign economic development of the western region. On the one hand, it is necessary to adapt to the new situation, formulate supporting policies for the opening up of the western region, and revise and supplement the original relevant policies; Increase the intensity of attracting foreign investment in the western region, further relax the restrictions on foreign investment in the western region, and relax the examination and approval conditions for development zones and advantageous industrial pilot zones in the western region; Allow foreign banks and insurance companies to set up branches and subsidiaries in western big cities to engage in RMB and insurance business; Relax the reporting conditions for Sino-foreign joint venture travel agencies and foreign-funded travel agencies; Relax the restrictions on overseas financing in the western region. More effective measures should be taken to encourage the western region to expand foreign trade exports, especially to expand the pilot of export management rights of private enterprises. On the other hand, we should pay attention to opening up, especially to the developed coastal areas. Actively introduce capital and technology from the eastern region to promote the westward migration of industries in the eastern region. On the premise of preventing redundant construction, transferring backward technology and causing environmental pollution, we will actively take measures in investment, finance, taxation, credit, industry and commerce, labor and statistics. Support the development of enterprises in the eastern and central regions to the western region through various means such as investment in setting up factories, equity participation, acquisition and merger, and technology transfer.
in addition, as an important measure to expand the opening up of the western region, the central government and relevant state departments should attach great importance to the construction of railway corridors between lanzhou-chongqing railway and the southwest region to promote the foreign economic development of the western region.
Take measures such as returning some tariffs to further promote the development of the western region, especially the western border areas. It is suggested that during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the customs duties paid by the state to the western border areas will be directly withheld or collected at the rate of 2%-3% every year, and then returned to the western border areas through special transfer payments to promote the economic and social development of the western border areas. The tariff in the western border area accounts for a small share in the whole country, but it accounts for a large proportion in local finance. According to statistics, in 24, 99? 28.5 billion yuan, accounting for 4744.4% of the total national tariff? .5 billion yuan of 2? 9%。 If it is returned by 3%, the total amount of return in the border areas of six provinces and regions is 29? 78.6 billion yuan, accounting for only about .5% of the total national tariff. 63%, less than 1%, the share is very small, and it will not affect the overall tariff fund arrangement of the country. However, the share of tariff rebate in local finance is relatively large. Take dongxing city (county level) as an example. In 24, the city's fiscal revenue was 1? 4.1 billion yuan, Dongxing Customs paid 1? 49.4 billion yuan, 3% return is ? 42.3 billion yuan, accounting for 1/3 of local fiscal revenue. Such a sum of money is used for local construction, which is beneficial to both the country and the localities, and its role cannot be underestimated.
