II. Major Tasks for 2015

　　2015 is a crucial year to deepen comprehensive reform and the first year to promote in an all-around way the rule of law, and it is also the ending year of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". Over viewing the international and domestic development, we can know that the world economy has been slowly recovered and the domestic economy has kept the good long-term momentum. With the system benefits released by the Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 18th CPC Central Committee, great opportunities will meet in Yichang, for example, new round of economic opening up and development in Yangtze River, city group construction in middle reaches of Yangtze River, follow-up planning and implementation of Three Gorges Project and provincial sub-central city construction, which will create a favorable environment for the development of our city. Particularly, after years of development, Yichang has become a city with ever-increasing inherent vitality and competitive advantages: adopting advantageous industries as the lead in new industrialization process, central city construction, the lead of the integration development of urban and rural regions, characterizing breakthroughs along the Yangtze River in the process of opening up, seizing the chance of first national ecological civilization demonstration zone construction in the process of ecological civilization.

In addition, the task of energy saving and emission reduction regulated by the provincial government have been completed.

　　To achieve the goals above, priorities must be given to the following five aspects of work.

　　1. The vitality of systems and mechanisms should be stimulated by further advancement of the reform and opening up.

　　The reforms in the key areas should be deepened. Therefore, our minds should be further emancipated by learning from Shanghai Free Trade Zone as our breakthrough and insisting on the problem-oriented methods to solve the system and mechanism obstacles which restrict the development. Meanwhile, the administrative approval system should be further deepen by the continued progress in streamlining administration and delegating power, the intensive publicizing of the directory listing of the administrative power, the list of the enterprise-related charges and the operation flow chat of the administrative parallel examine and approve and the improvement of standardization and marketization reforms of the intermediaries which are related to the administrative examination and approve.

Therefore, the government’s full-covered budget should be improved by the establishment of budget balance mechanism going beyond the year, the further advancement of publicizing the budget and final accounts, the progress of the budgetary performance reform and the competitive allocation of the financial funds and the strengthening of coordinating the financial funds use. Additionally, The policy of the strong area empowerment should be promoted by the further improvement of the financial system which matches the powers and authorities of office with the duties of expenditure, the public services purchased by the government from the society should be strengthened and the preferential policies including the government debts and investment projects as well as the reorganizing and regulating of the taxation should be strictly implemented.

What’s more, The cultural system reform should be deepen by the cultural prosperity in an all round way and the rapid development of the cultural industry and the comprehensive education reform should be deepen by the implementation of the fundamental task of rearing people. The medical and health system should be deepen by the accelerated comprehensive reform of the public hospitals at the county level and the medical and health care institutes at the primary level and the establishment of the new operation mechanism of the medical and health institutions.

Furthermore, the endowment insurance system of the government and non-profitable enterprises should be steadily promoted, the for-duty car using system of the party and government offices should be finished, the government institutes reform, the classification reform of the social undertaking institutions and other reforms should be carried out coordinately.

　　The quality and efficiency of investment must be improved. We will highlight industrial investment, strengthen professional investment and promote business to canvass business, network investment, agency investment, forming a new pattern promoted by the government, driven by the park, led by the enterprise and serviced by the intermediary agent. Around the strategic emerging industries, advanced manufacturing and modern services, we will focus on the introduction of a number of high-correlated and strong-driven major projects and high-end projects. As for the six billions-level industries and characteristic advantaged industries, we will extend and replenish the industry chains and equipment by the leading enterprise and focus on the introduction of a number of supporting project, servicing project and chain-extending project.

We will explore market-oriented operation mechanism of the park and encourage qualified parks to develop and manage themselves by equity cooperation and the introduction of professional third-party enterprise. Moreover, we will deepen the investment collaboration with Shanghai Free-Trade Zone, Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone and other places.

　　Endeavors must be made to expand the opening-up.
