The Executive meeting of The State Council proposed four measures to improve the business environment

The Executive meeting of The State Council held on Thursday proposed four measures to improve the business environment, further break through the implementation of the blocking points and enhance the level of legalization of the business environment.

The meeting pointed out that improving the business environment is the key to invigorating market players and an important measure to cope with the severe and complex situation and promote economic stability and recovery.

The meeting heard a third party assessment report on the implementation of the Doing Business Ordinance. The meeting pointed out that despite extremely difficult conditions, more than 20 million new market entities were set up last year, bucking the trend of a substantial increase and maintaining a high level of activity, which is inseparable from the continuous improvement of the business environment.

In response to the problems identified in the assessment, the meeting stressed the need to further deepen the reform of "regulation, regulation and services", step up the implementation of the Regulations on Improving the Business Environment, release vitality, regulate fairness, justice and serve efficiency.

The four measures include: First, we will encourage eastern regions and provincial capitals to conduct advanced international tests, and support the central and western regions and northeast China, as well as non-provincial capitals, to significantly improve their business environment through reform. Second, we need to promote innovative measures such as "one industry, one certificate", "one enterprise, one certificate" and "the joint operation of certificates and licenses" to create more new market players and operate according to market rules. Third, we will promote fair competition, promote market-oriented reform of bidding for government projects, standardize intermediary services, and crack down harder on "hidden rules" that increase enterprises' financing costs in credit. Fourth, we need to raise the efficiency of oversight and ensure that it is both broad and well-managed. We need to make oversight and oversight more targeted and effective before and after the event. We need to carry out comprehensive oversight and joint law enforcement to ensure that oversight and oversight in areas involving people's lives, health and safety are covered across the board.

Experts say that the business environment for companies is the relationship between water and fish. As the forerunner of the reform of "deregulation, regulation and service" and the referee of market order regulation, the market supervision department should focus on unimpeded market access, orderly market opening, sufficient market competition and standard market order, strive to build a unified and open "big market" system, and accelerate the construction of a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment.
