Hua Yuan, deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Municipal Government and director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai on the afternoon of 29th that the policies and measures proposed in this round of action plan, combined with the 2 1 policy promulgated by the municipal government at the end of March, are expected to reduce the financial burden of various types for market players by more than 300 billion yuan in the whole year.
Party secretary and researcher of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences told CBN that the "50 measures" are all-round policies, which are related to the reconstruction of Shanghai's urban functions and the high-quality medium-and long-term economic development, rather than simply rescuing the market.
Wang Sizheng, president of the Shanghai Macroeconomics Association, told CBN that the "50 Articles" are shared by both the industry and academic circles, and this policy covers a wide range. The epidemic in Shanghai was seriously injured. Under the background of great local financial pressure, it is not easy to push "50" after "2 1".
Wang Sizheng said that pushing "50 articles" on the basis of "2 1 article" has put forward many policies different from the previous "2 1 article" in the fields of industry, foreign trade, foreign investment and consumption, which is very timely and targeted. In addition, the operability is manifested in some details, such as proposing to reduce the port demurrage fee.
June 1 day, comprehensive and orderly return to work.
The main contents of the action plan can be roughly divided into "four major sectors": fully helping enterprises to go global, restoring production and markets, stabilizing foreign investment and foreign trade, promoting consumption and investment, and strengthening support and guarantee.
Qing Wu, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, said at the meeting that the resumption of work, production, business and market is a matter of great concern to all kinds of enterprises at present. Aiming at the blocking point of resumption of work and production, this paper puts forward classified guidance, dynamic revision of epidemic prevention and control guidelines for resumption of work and production, cancellation of unreasonable restrictions on enterprises' resumption of work and production, cancellation of examination and approval system for enterprises' resumption of work and production from June 1, expansion of subsidies for enterprises' epidemic prevention and disinfection, establishment of mutual protection mechanism for supply chain in the Yangtze River Delta industrial chain, smooth domestic and international logistics and transportation channels, support for enterprises' resumption of work and production, and steadily increase the operating rate of enterprises.
According to the balance, large, medium and small enterprises are currently facing the problem of supply chain elements flowing in the industrial chain. Therefore, these "50 articles" are not simple point bail-outs, but point by point and chain by chain to solve problems and restore the entire industrial chain. This is not only the need of internal circulation, but also the need of double circulation.
Specifically, in the Action Plan, promoting the resumption of work, production and market mainly includes strengthening support and services for enterprises to resume work and unblocking domestic and foreign logistics and transportation channels.
For example, put forward classified guidance, dynamically revise epidemic prevention and control guidelines in various industries, and cancel unreasonable restrictions on enterprises' resumption of work and production. The urban area will strengthen services such as employee return to work, logistics support, and upstream and downstream connection. Supervise and guide enterprises to do a good job in epidemic prevention and disinfection and employee health management, support enterprises to establish an epidemic prevention emergency system, and ensure that epidemic prevention and control and safety production measures are put in place after returning to work.
Support manufacturing enterprises such as automobiles, integrated circuits and biomedicine. Realize the coordinated resumption of work of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain and supply chain, and steadily improve the production efficiency of enterprises. Gradually promote the resumption of work in wholesale and retail, finance, transportation and logistics, real estate, construction and other industries, pay close attention to the resumption of work in agricultural production units, and promote the resumption of work in crowded industries such as catering, residential services, cultural tourism and exhibitions in an orderly manner where conditions permit. Establish a mutual insurance mechanism for the supply chain of the Yangtze River Delta industrial chain to ensure a strong chain.
Wu Jincheng, director of the Shanghai Economic and Information Committee, said at the meeting that in the next stage, solid policies will be introduced to help enterprises go global, which will be beneficial to enterprises and accelerate the recovery of the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain supply chain. Including comprehensively promoting the resumption of work and production, implementing various measures to benefit enterprises and accelerating investment in major industrial projects.
"From June 1 day, the whole city will enter the stage of comprehensive and orderly resumption of work and production, and will cancel the approval for enterprises to resume work and production, serve the reasonable needs of various enterprises, promote the comprehensive resumption of work in industrial parks and office buildings, support all enterprises that meet the epidemic prevention requirements to resume work and production on an equal footing, and actively create conditions for the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises to resume work and production as soon as possible. Wu Jincheng said.
In terms of implementing various measures to benefit enterprises, Wu Jincheng introduced that the six-month rent reduction and exemption of state-owned enterprises for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households will benefit more than 90,000 market entities, and it is estimated that the rent reduction and exemption will be about 654.38+04 billion yuan. At present, Shanghai Tobacco Group, Shanghai Telecom, China Guangdong Nuclear Power and other central enterprises in Shanghai have actively responded to the formulation of rent reduction and rent-free plans, and a number of industrial parks such as Lingang Pujiang International Science and Technology City, Automobile New Energy Port and Municipal Industrial Comprehensive Development Zone are promoting the implementation of specific plans.
The Action Plan shows that small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households that lease state-owned houses for production and business activities are exempt from proof materials affected by the epidemic, and in 2022, they will be exempted from paying six months' rent. For private non-enterprise units that have difficulties in leasing state-owned houses, in 2022, they will be exempted from six-month rent with reference to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.
"The most direct aspects of Article 50 are rent reduction and social security extension," Pan Jing, chairman of Shanghai Taitami Robot Co., Ltd. told reporters.
Stabilize the focus of foreign trade and foreign investment
The Action Plan defines four key points for stabilizing foreign investment and foreign trade, including supporting foreign-funded enterprises to resume production and operation, effectively helping foreign trade enterprises tide over difficulties, striving to stabilize the expectations and confidence of foreign-funded foreign trade enterprises, and giving full play to the guiding role of special foreign trade funds.
CBN said that the most important thing to stabilize foreign investment is to boost confidence. Therefore, the action plan started the application for special funds for the development of regional headquarters of multinational corporations in advance this year, which also shows that Shanghai attaches great importance to the development of foreign capital.
Among them, in supporting foreign-funded enterprises to resume production and operation, the Action Plan proposes to establish a service mechanism for key foreign-funded enterprises to resume production, implement special tracking services, help key foreign-funded enterprises solve outstanding problems such as resumption of production, logistics and transportation, and epidemic prevention materials, and effectively stabilize the development expectations of foreign-funded enterprises. Ensure the smooth progress of major foreign-funded projects, activate the online service system for major foreign-funded projects, coordinate urban areas and online and offline, ensure that projects under negotiation, contract signing and construction resume operation as soon as possible, and implement special tracking services. Actively strive for a number of major projects to land as soon as possible. Support multinational companies to set up regional headquarters and foreign R&D centers in Shanghai.
In order to stabilize the confidence of foreign-funded enterprises, the Action Plan clearly strengthens face-to-face communication with senior executives of foreign-funded enterprises, actively introduces the situation and strategies of epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai through video conferences of senior executives of multinational companies and online round-table meetings of government-enterprise communication of foreign-funded enterprises, fully listens to the opinions and suggestions of foreign-funded enterprises, and establishes a normalized mechanism for solving problems through consultation. Help foreign-funded enterprises solve practical problems, increase mutual visits and exchanges between headquarters enterprises, and effectively repair and boost the confidence of foreign-funded enterprises.
Huang Feng, president of Shanghai Foreign Investment Association, told CBN that according to the survey of foreign-funded enterprises in Shanghai in May, the progress of returning to work and production has made great progress compared with that in April, and the association also reported the specific problems reflected by enterprises to the special class for returning to work and production of foreign-funded enterprises of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, and some problems have been solved. It is undeniable that the confidence of some foreign companies has been affected by this epidemic, especially small and medium-sized foreign-funded enterprises are facing great difficulties, including poor logistics channels, high cost pressure and reduced orders.
Huang Feng pointed out that the "Article 50" put forward policies such as establishing a service mechanism for key foreign-funded enterprises to resume work and production, and strengthening visits and communication between headquarters enterprises, which will help to repair and boost the confidence of foreign-funded enterprises. Next, it is suggested to focus on the challenges faced by foreign-funded SMEs, so that enterprises can enjoy the policy of benefiting enterprises as soon as possible, and at the same time pay attention to the work and life difficulties of foreigners, such as establishing a service mechanism for foreigners.
According to the balance, in the field of foreign trade, the specific rules put forward this time, such as increasing the support for export tax rebate and credit insurance for enterprises, helping foreign trade enterprises to fulfill orders, implementing customs clearance facilitation measures, and encouraging the reduction and exemption of goods storage fees and container demurrage fees, will alleviate the actual pressure of foreign trade enterprises.
Financial assistance to enterprises will be increased.
The "50 Articles" published this time are related to the financial field, including strengthening policy-oriented financial support for foreign trade enterprises, encouraging banks and other financial institutions to postpone the issuance of small and medium-sized micro loans as much as possible, setting up special loans for enterprise rescue, supporting financing guarantee institutions to further expand the scale of small and medium-sized micro businesses, encouraging small loan companies and pawn shops to appropriately reduce financing costs such as loan interest rates, guarantee rates and comprehensive pawn rates, and supporting more qualified asset management institutions to participate in QDLP pilot projects and qualified domestic limited partners.

The Action Plan specifically mentions that it is necessary to strengthen policy financial support for foreign trade enterprises. For example, we should increase the support of export credit insurance, expand the coverage of small and medium-sized enterprises, optimize the conditions for underwriting claims, open an online reporting channel in Shanghai's "single window", and establish a premium deferred payment mechanism and a quick compensation first compensation mechanism.
At the same time, for small and medium-sized enterprises that meet the requirements of "specialization and innovation", on the basis of the original export credit insurance premium rate, the fees will be reduced by stages not less than 10%, and the policy financing support will be strengthened; Support The Export-Import Bank of China Shanghai Branch to set up a special credit line for import and export business, establish a fast review channel, actively use preferential interest rate loans or seek other preferential interest rate policies from the Head Office to reduce the financing cost of enterprises.

Strengthen the linkage between banks and governments and the docking between banks and enterprises, encourage financial institutions to dock key projects, increase support for infrastructure construction and major projects, and provide preferential and convenient financing support.
