Updated: 2009-09-29 15:40 CHANGZHOU: Private enterprises have made great contributions to the economic development of this city in east China's Jiangsu province, but they must make further reforms and continue to innovate in order for the region to keep growing, said Han Jiuyun, the vice mayor of Changzhou. Han was speaking at the press conference for 2009 China Changzhou Science, Technology, Economy and Foreign Trade Fair which opened on September 28.
A major manufacturing base in China, Changzhou has benefited enormously from the development of private enterprises over the last 30 years; private enterprises were responsible for about 60 percent of the city's GDP last year. Even in the first half of this year, when financial crisis hitting the global economy, the city's private enterprises continued to grow and accounted for 58.5 percent of the city's GDP.
Still, to cope with the new global economy, private enterprises must make adjustments to their operations, experts said at the 2009 Dialogue between Chinese Private Enterprises and the Fortune 500, one of a series of forums at the fair. The Changzhou government is also making plans to help private enterprises recover as soon as possible, including increasing bank loans and allowing private funds into more economic sectors, and the elimination of monopolies in some areas. "Multinational companies and private enterprises should cooperate and take full advantage of the opportunities we have now to join hands for development so as to grow together and stronger," said Hu Guocai, vice chairman of China Association of Enterprises with Foreign Investment. "We are confident that the city's economy will grow faster and stronger as private industries have developed in all the five major sectors of equipment manufacturing, electronic information, new energy, new materials and biomedicine," he said. |
