In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Tianjin focuses on addressing shortcomings, strengthening weaknesses, and benefiting people's livelihoods, precisely expanding effective investment, and a batch of major construction projects is ready to launch. Recently, it was learned from the Municipal Development and Reform Commission that, in order to thoroughly implement the decisions and deployments of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and fully leverage the supporting role of key projects in economic and social development, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission recently issued the "Opinions on the Arrangement of Key Construction and Key Reserve Projects in Tianjin for 2021", arranging a total of 702 key construction and key reserve projects for the year, with a total investment of 1,770.648 billion yuan and an annual investment of 209.809 billion yuan, covering five key areas: industrial scientific and technological innovation, infrastructure, agriculture, forestry and ecology, social livelihood, and others. The investment scale has reached the highest level in recent years.

　　Three Principles Ensure Key Projects, High Quality, and Livelihood

　　It is understood that the Municipal Development and Reform Commission started the application work for this year's key projects in advance in the fourth quarter of last year. After full communication, repeated connection, careful study, and solicitation of opinions with all districts and departments, the final project list was formed. According to Gao Huaiying, Director of the Investment Division of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, in the process of sorting out and compiling this year's key project list, three main principles were followed. First, closely focus on the central tasks. Focus on the major decisions and deployments of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and the key work of Tianjin, focusing on the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, manufacturing-based city establishment, the "dual-city" development pattern, and the construction of "two centers", strengthening the support of key projects in key areas for high-quality development, optimizing the stock with increments, and continuously cultivating new growth points. Second, strictly control project quality. In principle, projects with a total investment of more than 50 million yuan can be included. The projects should comply with the outline of Tianjin's national economic and social development plan, the main functional area zoning, regional plans and relevant special plans, national and municipal industrial policies, investment policies, and ecological environment functional area plans, and meet the requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction control. Third, pay attention to improving people's livelihoods. Benchmarking against the government work report and the 20 popular support projects, increase investment in social undertakings, improve the public service system, and focus on the construction of "one elderly and one young", leisure tourism, urban-rural integration development, public space improvement, etc., to promote coordinated economic and social development and continuously enhance the people's sense of happiness and gain.

　　Five Areas: Scientific and Technological Innovation, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Forestry and Ecology, Social Livelihood, and Others

　　New Features: New Industries, Large Scale, Excellent Quality, Solid Projects

　　The current investment direction and focus affect and determine the future industrial structure and economic operation quality. Compared with previous years, this year's key projects in Tianjin show four new features.

　　First, create "new" in industry. In order to actively adapt to the new pattern of economic development, this year Tianjin focuses on manufacturing-based city establishment, scientific and technological innovation, and the introduction and cultivation of new kinetic energy, increasing the introduction and cultivation of projects in the field of industrial scientific and technological innovation, focusing on screening high-quality projects in science and innovation centers, advanced manufacturing, digital economy, modern service industry, etc. The investment proportion of industrial scientific and technological innovation projects is nearly 1/4, effectively enhancing Tianjin's scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Second, make "big" in scale. This year, the number and investment scale of Tianjin's key construction and key reserve projects are both higher than last year's level. The overall number of projects and investment scale have increased by 8% and 4.1% respectively compared with last year, which is of great significance for enhancing the stamina of economic development. Third, tend to "excellent" in quality. In order to improve project quality and optimize project structure, among this year's construction projects, projects with an investment of more than 1 billion yuan account for 90% of the total investment, and projects with an investment of more than 5 billion yuan account for 69%; among the reserve projects, projects with an investment of more than 1 billion yuan account for 91% of the total investment, and projects with an investment of more than 5 billion yuan account for 66%. The supporting role of large projects continues to strengthen. At the same time, give play to the demonstration and leading role of key projects, continuously stimulate the vitality of social capital, and this year social capital investment in key projects accounts for more than 85% of the total. Fourth, lay a "solid" foundation in projects. Tianjin implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism for key projects. Newly started projects in the list of key construction projects that have not started within half a year will be adjusted to key reserve projects; key reserve projects that have no substantive progress within half a year will be adjusted out of the project list and re-applied when conditions are met.

　　Strengthen Services, Accelerate Approval, Fund Support, Factor Guarantee

　　The publication of the key project list not only stimulated enterprises' enthusiasm for investment in Tianjin, but also strengthened the confidence of all parties in Tianjin's high-quality development. The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission stated that it will further increase service efforts, strengthen the green channel for approval, project fund support, and project factor guarantee, promote the accelerated implementation of key projects, and boost high-quality economic development. "We will do a good job in service guarantee from three aspects. First, establish files and cards for projects included in the key project list, do a good job in one-on-one nanny-style service, and help key projects improve approval efficiency; support key projects to handle preliminary procedures in accordance with the relevant requirements of replacing certificates with letters and the commitment system, and complete the procedures within 3 months after the project starts. Second, for key projects included in the list, give play to the leveraging role of fiscal funds, and give priority to倾斜 in the arrangement of central budget funds and government special bonds; give play to the main channel role of financial institutions in financing, actively organize the tripartite docking of finance, government, and enterprises, and better meet the financing needs of key projects; timely release the list of projects suitable for private capital investment. Third, adhere to the equal emphasis on optimizing increments and revitalizing stocks, give priority to ensuring new construction land indicators for key projects, and encourage intensive land use. Coordinate energy consumption and total pollutant emission indicators, give priority to key project construction, and ensure the development space for new projects."
