This is not a confidential document. At present, Henan officials are engaged in a large-scale proposal and policy-making activity on the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone throughout the country or even the whole world. Obviously, they are brainstorming and discussing how to build and develop the Central Plains Economic Zone.

The meeting contents of the "High-level Seminar on Building Central Plains Economic Zone" I collected below should also be abstract in nature, and I hope it will be beneficial to the landlord.

Summary of high-level seminar on building Central Plains Economic Zone

Central Plains Economic Zone can break a new path in economic transformation

Zhang Zhuoyuan, member of China Academy of Social Sciences and former director of Institute of Finance and Trade Economics

Henan has a large population, a large market, a good agricultural foundation, rich resources and profound cultural heritage, and now it has a strong desire to build Central Plains Economic Zone and accelerate its development. I totally agree with this.

to build the central plains economic zone, we should accelerate the pace of development while seeking economic transformation. At present, China's economy is facing the transformation from focusing on quantity to focusing on efficiency, which requires speeding up the transformation of economic development mode and realizing sustainable development with the word "good" as the first priority. Under this circumstance, I think the Central Plains Economic Zone and Henan Province can find a new way to accelerate their development in the economic transformation of China.

Economic transformation means that China's economy will gradually enter the middle and high level stage. Turning to medium and high-speed growth is first of all the need to change the mode of economic development and adjust the structure, because the original extensive production has been difficult to sustain; It is becoming more and more difficult to meet the external demand in large quantities and export in large quantities. Switching to medium-high speed growth is also the need of China's soft landing, because the pressure of external demand makes environmental problems more and more prominent, and we should not excessively damage our long-term development by pursuing short-term high-speed growth.

to change the mode of economic growth, we should deepen the reform of administrative management system focusing on government transformation and financial transformation. To change the mode of economic growth, we must speed up the reform of administrative management system, especially the government transformation. If the government does not transform, it is impossible to change the mode of economic growth. In the future, in the economic transformation, I personally think that the relationship between the government and the market should be properly handled, and the government should change to a service-oriented government.

in this transformation, the financial transformation is very important, that is, the financial transformation should be from economic constructive finance to public service finance. From the central government to the local government, financial expenditure should be mainly used for public affairs, not for economic construction. Among them, those used for economic construction should be mainly used for agriculture, countryside and farmers, such as building water conservancy, improving varieties and popularizing advanced agricultural technologies. Finance should increase the expenditure on public services, including education, medical care, health, employment and social security, which can effectively improve the consumption level of low-income groups and increase the proportion of household consumption in GDP.

gather more resources in the Central Plains Economic Zone

□ Li Jingwen, member of China Academy of Social Sciences, academician of China Academy of Engineering and former director of the Institute of Quantitative and Technical Economics

Strengthening regional economic construction is an inevitable trend of current world economic globalization and China's economic and social development. Through the flow of capital, technology and materials around the world, the economies of various countries and regions are highly integrated, which greatly accelerates the economic development and creates more material wealth. Therefore, the development of economic zones is very important to all countries and regions.

with the rapid development of national economy, the gap between regions in China is becoming increasingly obvious. Dealing with the development gap between regions has always been a major concern of the party and the government. The construction of Central Plains Economic Zone is an important measure to realize the coordinated and sustainable development of regional economy. It is also an inevitable requirement of national economic and social development to gather more resources in the Central Plains Economic Zone and speed up the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone.

In order to ensure the sound and rapid construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone, I suggest that we should do three things well:

The first is to make further planning. At present, Henan has conducted a special study on this issue, and has achieved initial results. I suggest that on the basis of absorbing more opinions from all sides, we should further revise and improve the plan and further comprehensively and systematically plan, so that the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone can move forward step by step according to the plan. Especially in infrastructure construction, we must put the planning of transportation and information network construction ahead.

second, to do a good job in the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone, we must coordinate the interests of all parties. It is necessary to give full play to the main role of market economy in allocating resources, and also to the macro-control role of the government, so as to bring the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone into the government's planning and make it move forward step by step.

Third, we should rely more on scientific and technological progress. It is necessary to build a regional innovation network to make the economic zone a stable cooperation system and realize the coordinated development of enterprises; Build a stable channel for product exchange and improve the efficiency and environment of the economic zone.

generally speaking, the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone is promising. The Central Plains Economic Zone has a good cultural heritage and a good economic and resource base. It is hoped that Henan Province and relevant regions can take the initiative to build the Central Plains Economic Zone.

respect objective laws and accelerate development continuously

□ Zhou Shulian, member of China Academy of Social Sciences and former director of Institute of Industrial Economics

In order to further improve the planning outline of Central Plains Economic Zone, I would like to make some suggestions: First, put the construction of new countryside in a more prominent position. Henan is a big grain province, and the strategic orientation of building the Central Plains Economic Zone also talks about building an important guarantee area for national food security, so we should pay attention to solving the "three rural issues", especially highlighting the construction of new countryside. To realize rural modernization and agricultural modernization, we can't rely entirely on urbanization, which is a prerequisite, a condition and a necessity. However, building a new countryside is also a condition for industrialization and urbanization.

second, adjust the economic structure. Adjusting the economic structure is the focus of changing the mode of economic development. What is the connotation of the economic structure? Before the reform, we only regarded it as a production relationship, and later realized that it included both production relations and productivity. But now there is a phenomenon that pays more attention to productive forces and ignores relations of production. In fact, relations of production are an important part of the economic structure and a prerequisite for adjusting the economic structure and developing productive forces.

For example, deepening enterprise reform, what are the difficulties in the construction of Central Plains Economic Zone, how to solve these difficulties, and how to deepen reform should give people a deeper impression in the planning. The prosperity and vitality of the national economy mainly depend on the system. At present, China's system, including economic, social, political and cultural aspects, still has shortcomings, so we should emancipate our minds and seek truth from facts in building the Central Plains Economic Zone.

Third, we should study and correctly handle the relationship between good development and rapid development. China's economic development first proposed to be "fast and economical", then "fast and good", then "good and fast", and now it is proposed to be "sustained and fast". According to the current situation in our country, I advocate that development should be slower, but better, first of all.

the planning should also fully consider the resources, environment, residents' consumption, residents' income and other aspects, and should be carefully studied. At present, we still lack a deep understanding of the law of development. Only by further studying the law and acting according to the objective law can we achieve the goals put forward in the strategic planning of the Central Plains Economic Zone.

Central Plains Economic Zone should achieve cooperation * * * to win

Chen Dongsheng, member of Honorary Department of China Academy of Social Sciences and consultant of China Regional Economics Association

When planning Central Plains Economic Zone, Henan proposed that it is very practical to take a road of coordinated scientific development without sacrificing agriculture and grain production.

agricultural modernization is too important for Henan. For example, if rice from Taiwan Province is sold to the mainland, it costs 18 yuan one kilogram, because the quality of rice is good and it is so-called "safe rice". If the rice produced in the four cities of Huanghuai can reach that quality, farmers will soon be rich. To give another example, more than 3 years ago, China was "transferring grain from the south to the north", that is, the north ate grain from the south; With the development of industry in the southern region, it has already become a "transfer of grain from the north to the south", and Henan has become an important guarantee for national food security. Therefore, the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone is related to the realization of the revitalization of the Central Plains, and the revitalization of the Central Plains is related to the realization of the overall coordination goal of the country and the region. Central China, China and China.

Here, I would like to make some suggestions on how to build the Central Plains Economic Zone:

First, it is necessary to make a turn. The operation of the economic zone is completely different from that of the administrative zone. In the province, subordinates are obedient to superiors; For areas outside the province, it can only be communication and consultation, and cooperation will win. From the perspective of government, the Yangtze River Delta and Pan-Yangtze River Delta regions, including Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui, have experienced three-level operation. The first level is the decision-making level, and a joint meeting attended by party and government leaders is held once a year; The second layer is the coordination layer, which consists of the executive vice governor level; Then there is the executive layer, which has two aspects, one is the office and the other is the National Development and Reform Commission. The construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone will also encounter a coordination problem, so I suggest making full use of the existing economic cooperation organizations such as Huaihai Economic Zone and Central Plains Cooperative Economic Zone.

second, we should insist on the government setting up a stage, multiple market players singing opera, and various social organizations such as chambers of commerce and associations participating extensively.

thirdly, to establish the goal of "five in one" is to realize planning alliance, market integration, transportation integration, pollution control cooperation and ecological environment construction. Henan must pay attention to both the cultivation and growth of growth poles and the development of county economy; It is necessary to give full play to the radiation drive of Zhengzhou, and also welcome the radiation drive of Wuhan, Xi 'an and other big cities to the development of Xinyang and Sanmenxia.

the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone is of great significance to regional coordinated development

Wang Yiming, executive vice president of the Macroeconomic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission

The Central Plains Economic Zone is a meeting point of internal and external needs, which has the characteristics of giving consideration to both internal and external growth patterns. If many coastal provinces were driven by external demand in the past, the Central Plains Economic Zone is characterized by both internal and external needs. In addition, the Central Plains Economic Zone is a transition point for coastal industries to spread inland, a hub and an engine that drives all parties. Therefore, the Central Plains Economic Zone should have an important position in the implementation of China's next strategy of expanding domestic demand, which is of strategic significance to the coordinated development of China's regions.

Central Plains Economic Zone is the main agricultural producing area in China, and it also has important strategic significance in exploring the coordinated development of agricultural modernization, industrialization and urbanization.

with the acceleration of China's industrialization and urbanization, how to protect 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, how to enhance the ability of sustainable development of agriculture and how to ensure national food security will become more and more prominent and important. Therefore, if the Central Plains Economic Zone can explore a coordinated development path of "three modernizations" without sacrificing agriculture and grain production in this field, it will be of great reference and guiding significance to the whole country.

Central Plains Economic Zone is an important economic sector in inland areas, and its economic share has increased in the past two years, which plays an irreplaceable role in improving the regional development pattern of the whole country.

this plate is a densely populated plate, a plate with comprehensive industries and a plate connecting the southeast and northwest. Therefore, in the coordinated regional development, it will also play an important role in the next step of implementing the overall coordinated regional development in our country.

The construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone has been well planned, and I hope to further clarify the strategic focus of the next development. One of the most distinctive features of the Central Plains Economic Zone is that it connects the east with the west and runs through the north and south, in terms of hub status and logistics facilities. Especially in the construction of the national high-speed railway network, how to incorporate it into the system of the high-speed railway network, so as to enhance Henan's position in the construction of the national comprehensive transportation system in the next step and give the hub a new connotation is very important for the development of the Central Plains Economic Zone.

To build the Central Plains Economic Zone, it is necessary to break the land bottleneck

Fan Gang, Vice President of china society of economic reform and Secretary General of China Reform Research Foundation

I quite agree with the concept of the Central Plains Economic Zone and hope it can become a national development strategy. I think this is a very important thing. Below, I would like to talk about some ideas.

First, I am very much in favor of the development of agriculture and other industries in Henan. In China, agriculture is still a major event, so agriculture must be indispensable, but it also needs urbanization. The key issue is land. We should pay attention to several aspects. First, I am in favor of the formulation of big cities. We should try our best to achieve intensive development and build several big cities, with big cities driving medium-sized cities as the mainstay and not blooming everywhere. Then several big cities form a large group, and the land is highly intensive. With so much plain land in Henan, we should also improve the efficiency of land use and break the bottleneck of land use efficiency.

the second is urban and rural planning and land integration. The focus is on the homestead, which is a big article on how to get into the city after farmers enter the city. Henan is a province dominated by plains, so we should consider how to integrate the homestead first. If this article is to be done well, it may break through the bottleneck of land restriction.

in addition, I am very much in favor of the top ten industrial systems. Now three or four billion people in the world are fighting for jobs, so we can't easily abandon any industry. I suggest adding a few more, such as traditional industries and emerging industries, labor-intensive industries and technology-intensive industries, and putting things that many people look down upon and new things at the same time, so that our country can develop, society can be harmonious, and the poor and low-income classes can find jobs.

thirdly, the key to realizing urbanization and industrialization is how to solve the problem of farmers living and working in peace and contentment. The problem of China in the next stage is the problem of peasants' citizenization. In the process of citizenization, a series of public policies are involved. I suggest that we should learn from China's successful experience since the reform and implement the dual-track system, which is to dilute the household registration system and strengthen the permanent population. The original household registration maintains the original public service, and the new financial resources are inclined to the new farmers. Provide education first, then provide low-level medical insurance, and then provide low-level social security, and gradually realize the process of farmers' citizenization and equalization of public services. In this way, more farmers can settle down more quickly and really enter the city.

remolding Henan economic geography

Hu Angang, director of China Academy of Sciences-Tsinghua University National Situation Research Center

involves the concept of Central Plains Economic Zone, and the first key word is hinterland. Including three meanings, it is geographical hinterland, strategic hinterland, and now it seems that more emphasis should be placed on economic hinterland. The planning of the main functional area of the country clearly puts forward the so-called "two horizontals and three verticals", and because the first attribute in front of it belongs to the hinterland and is in the middle, it becomes the place of "two horizontals and three verticals". We should further explore this idea in order to make the planning outline consistent with the planning of the main functional areas of the country.

Henan is a populous province, and "big" itself gives us a very important revelation, and it will become a big market for domestic demand; In addition, from the perspective of geographical distribution of population, Henan itself is the geographical center of population in China, which is related to the fact that it will be an important emerging megalopolis in China.

Henan plays an important role in agriculture in China, and it is also an important energy and modern manufacturing base in China, which is developing very fast. From an ecological point of view, no province like Henan can span four river basins, so I define it as an ecological hinterland. The historical and cultural resources of Henan for thousands of years have contributed to the national culture and are the main force that is indispensable.

from the national perspective, it is of strategic significance to establish the Central Plains Economic Zone.
