重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)4月1日掛牌以來，在進(jìn)入試驗(yàn)區(qū)區(qū)域的干道入口上矗立起多座彩色拱門，直觀地提示著人們重慶已進(jìn)入自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)時(shí)代。

2017年4月1日，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)正式掛牌。7月，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)迎來正式掛牌100天。

自4月1日正式成立掛牌以來，短短三個(gè)多月時(shí)間內(nèi)，社會(huì)各界高度關(guān)注重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的發(fā)展建設(shè)，在自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)內(nèi)和周邊地區(qū)，每隔一段距離就可以看到醒目“中國(guó)（重慶）自由貿(mào)易試驗(yàn)區(qū)”路牌，在城市主干道上的自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)交界處，還聳立起多個(gè)彩虹一樣的多層拱門，一些為自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)提供配套商業(yè)服務(wù)的機(jī)構(gòu)也在爭(zhēng)先恐后地將自己的企業(yè)名稱和標(biāo)志“自貿(mào)化”。

短短100天中，新生的重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)在產(chǎn)業(yè)集聚、促進(jìn)投資貿(mào)易便利化、明確發(fā)展方向、對(duì)外形象構(gòu)建等多個(gè)方面邁出了堅(jiān)實(shí)的一步，令外界看到了重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)務(wù)實(shí)高效的第一步，讓人們對(duì)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)和重慶的未來更加充滿期望。

集聚效應(yīng)與開放功能初步顯現(xiàn)

重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)全域面積為119.98平方公里，分為兩江、西永、果園港3個(gè)片區(qū)。在區(qū)域選擇和劃分上，重點(diǎn)突出海關(guān)特殊監(jiān)管區(qū)域和保稅監(jiān)管場(chǎng)所的核心功能、重慶綜合交通樞紐和開放口岸功能、服務(wù)貿(mào)易產(chǎn)業(yè)聚集和開放創(chuàng)新。兩江片區(qū)著力打造高端產(chǎn)業(yè)與高端要素集聚區(qū)，西永片區(qū)著力打造加工貿(mào)易轉(zhuǎn)型升級(jí)示范區(qū)，果園港片區(qū)著力打造多式聯(lián)運(yùn)物流轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)中心。

吸引投資與形成產(chǎn)業(yè)集聚效應(yīng)，是評(píng)價(jià)自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)發(fā)展的最重要指標(biāo)。但是，對(duì)于重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)而言，能否延續(xù)重慶對(duì)外開放與發(fā)展外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)的強(qiáng)勁勢(shì)頭，是各界評(píng)價(jià)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的又一關(guān)注重點(diǎn)。

區(qū)域內(nèi)交通的高度便利化是重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的一大特點(diǎn)。

在今年6月召開的重慶最重要的經(jīng)貿(mào)展會(huì)—第二十屆渝洽會(huì)的成果目錄上，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)所產(chǎn)生的積聚效應(yīng)得到直觀體現(xiàn)：涉及重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的簽約項(xiàng)目就達(dá)744個(gè)，涉及工業(yè)、新能源、現(xiàn)代服務(wù)、金融、電子信息等多個(gè)領(lǐng)域。

7月初，重慶市自貿(mào)辦公布了重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)2017年上半年經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)，數(shù)據(jù)顯示：2017年1—6月，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)范圍內(nèi)新增企業(yè)6492戶，占整個(gè)重慶市新增企業(yè)比重10.3%，所涉及人民幣資金總額449.29億元，占全市比重14.3%；其中新增內(nèi)資企業(yè)戶數(shù)6386戶，占全市比重10.2%，人民幣資金總額395.81億元，占全市比重14.5%；新增外資企業(yè)戶數(shù)106戶，占全市比重23.2%，資產(chǎn)總額7.75億美元，占全市比重17.6%。

數(shù)據(jù)表明，自今年1月重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)掛牌前的籌備準(zhǔn)備到掛牌后3個(gè)月的實(shí)際運(yùn)行，在短短6個(gè)月時(shí)間內(nèi)，新增外資企業(yè)數(shù)目占全市同期兩成以上，外資企業(yè)資產(chǎn)總額也達(dá)到了全重慶總量的17.6%，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的集聚效應(yīng)與開放功能得到初步顯現(xiàn)。

投資貿(mào)易便利化建設(shè)務(wù)實(shí)推進(jìn)

重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)掛牌100天來，重慶“新政”不斷，實(shí)實(shí)在在地促進(jìn)投資貿(mào)易便利化與區(qū)域聯(lián)動(dòng)發(fā)展：

在重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)掛牌之初，重慶市工商局、重慶市發(fā)展改革委、重慶市口岸辦、重慶市公安局出入境管理局、重慶市高級(jí)人民法院、重慶市知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)局、重慶市金融辦等10余部門集中公布相關(guān)扶持政策。7月初，重慶市國(guó)稅局又發(fā)布了《關(guān)于服務(wù)中國(guó)（重慶）自由貿(mào)易試驗(yàn)區(qū)十項(xiàng)稅收措施的通告》，其中，共有5大類71條稅收優(yōu)惠政策，為企業(yè)提供“清單化”的稅收優(yōu)惠政策。在自貿(mào)區(qū)實(shí)現(xiàn)支付寶、微信等第三方支付機(jī)構(gòu)的掃碼支付繳稅，在12366重慶納稅熱線設(shè)立自貿(mào)區(qū)政策專席解疑答惑；通過稅郵（郵政）合作，納稅人足不出戶領(lǐng)取發(fā)票；擴(kuò)大電子發(fā)票應(yīng)用范圍，自貿(mào)區(qū)內(nèi)企業(yè)可自行申請(qǐng)領(lǐng)用增值稅電子普通發(fā)票等內(nèi)容受到企業(yè)廣泛關(guān)注。在各種公開宣傳中明確提出“營(yíng)造自貿(mào)區(qū)發(fā)展良好營(yíng)商環(huán)境，讓投資人更加輕松做生意?！敝貞c已將國(guó)務(wù)院給予重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)在各個(gè)方面的幫扶政策在各個(gè)部門逐條“落地”，讓重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)在投資貿(mào)易的多個(gè)方面與國(guó)際接軌。

據(jù)了解，截至今年7月初，國(guó)務(wù)院發(fā)布的51項(xiàng)可復(fù)制、推廣的先進(jìn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)已落實(shí)48項(xiàng)，“融資租賃海關(guān)監(jiān)管制度”已形成飛機(jī)融資租賃海關(guān)監(jiān)管流程，正引入機(jī)源開始測(cè)試，“企業(yè)設(shè)立單一窗口”“國(guó)際貿(mào)易單一窗口”等正加緊推進(jìn)。西永綜保區(qū)在全國(guó)首創(chuàng)的多項(xiàng)通關(guān)機(jī)制創(chuàng)新有望成為誕生在重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的，可向全國(guó)復(fù)制推廣的先進(jìn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。記者注意到，在第三批各家自貿(mào)區(qū)對(duì)外公布的“辦事時(shí)間”中，唯有重慶是以“小時(shí)”作為計(jì)時(shí)單位，重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)對(duì)效率的提倡由此可見一斑。

不斷增加的寫字樓使得重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)區(qū)域內(nèi)的商務(wù)氣氛日益濃厚。

現(xiàn)在能夠看到的重慶各個(gè)部門對(duì)于自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)推出的具體政策都非常務(wù)實(shí)，主要是集中解決企業(yè)在自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)內(nèi)投資便利化，非常實(shí)際、有針對(duì)性。這些在很大程度上應(yīng)該得益于重慶近年來在對(duì)外開放、發(fā)展外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)面積累的大量經(jīng)驗(yàn)和資源。重慶已有的“三個(gè)三合一”平臺(tái)，以及重慶在“渝新歐”中歐鐵路大通道基礎(chǔ)上的不斷延伸發(fā)展，尤其是以“渝桂新”為代表的南向通道的達(dá)成，都必然對(duì)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的成熟與發(fā)展帶來眾多的便利，也會(huì)大大提升重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的外部吸引力—四川外國(guó)語大學(xué)國(guó)際商學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)、重慶國(guó)際戰(zhàn)略研究院秘書長(zhǎng)楊柏如此評(píng)價(jià)道。

重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的發(fā)展得到各界的廣泛關(guān)注，從6月22日到7月7日，《中國(guó)（重慶）自由貿(mào)易試驗(yàn)區(qū)首屆建設(shè)發(fā)展研討會(huì)》《2017重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)投資合作創(chuàng)新發(fā)展峰會(huì)》等高級(jí)別論壇連續(xù)在重慶召開。重慶市領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、重慶自貿(mào)區(qū)的管理機(jī)構(gòu)與國(guó)內(nèi)外多位專家都在其中暢談對(duì)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)乃至重慶未來的期許與向往。在重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)明確了對(duì)香港自由貿(mào)易的學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)標(biāo)后，香港特區(qū)政府和商界、金融界多位人士前來重慶進(jìn)行專項(xiàng)考察與溝通，尋求重慶與香港更大的合作機(jī)遇。正如重慶市商務(wù)委自貿(mào)辦制度創(chuàng)新處處長(zhǎng)張葵一次會(huì)議發(fā)言中所說的那樣，對(duì)重慶而言，自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)還是一個(gè)新興事物，當(dāng)前重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的發(fā)展仍處于摸索階段。隨著重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的對(duì)外開放程度越來越高，越來越多的企業(yè)將匯聚在重慶這片投資熱土上，帶動(dòng)重慶經(jīng)濟(jì)飛速發(fā)展。

100天，讓我們看到了重慶開展自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)的堅(jiān)定決心，與推進(jìn)力度，也讓我們感受到了重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的務(wù)實(shí)高效，令我們對(duì)重慶自貿(mào)試驗(yàn)區(qū)的未來，對(duì)重慶更加開放的明天充滿期望！

Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone was of fi cially listed on April 1, 2017. Three months later, Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone ushered in a listing of 100 days in July, 2017.

Since the formal establishment on April 1, the construction of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone has been highly concerned by all walks of life within this short period of three months. The eye-catching road sign of “China(Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone”could be seen at intervals in the trade zone and the surrounding areas. Several rainbow-like colorful arches with multi-layers are set at the junction of trade zone and the main road. Some institutions providing matching commercial services for the trade zone are also competing to “free-tradize” their business names and logos.

In just 100 days, the newborn Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone is taking a solid step in industrial agglomeration, promoting the facilitation of investment and trade, clear direction of development, construction of external image and etc. Therefore, the outside world has seen the pragmatic and efficient step took by Chongqing Free Trade Zone, which allows the people to hold more expectations of the future of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and Chongqing.

Preliminary reveal of agglomeration effect and opening function

Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, covering an area of 111.98 square kilometers, is divided into three areas including Liangjiang, Xiyong and Guoyuan Port. On the regional selection and division, it emphasizes the key functions of the special customs supervision area and bonded supervision place, the functions of Chongqing as a comprehensive transportation hub and open port as well as the agglomeration and open innovation of service trade. Liangjiang Area makes efforts to build an agglomeration area of high-end industries and elements; Xiyong Area to build a demonstration area for transformation and upgrading of processing trade; Guoyuan Port to build a multimodal transport logistics center.

Attracting investment and forming the effect of industrial agglomeration is the most important index for evaluating the development of pilot free trade zone. However, for Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, another important index for evaluating is whether it can sustain the opening-up of Chongqing and its strong momentum of developing the export-oriented economy. On the most important economic and trade exhibition held in Chongqing in June, 2017—the 20th CCISF, the agglomeration effect produced by Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone is intuitively re fl ected. The contracted projects involving Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone reached 44 covering various fi elds including industry, new energy, modern services, finance and electronic information.

At the beginning of July, the of fi ce of free trade zone in Chongqing announced the economic data in the first half of 2017. The statistics show that: in the fi rst half of 2017, 6,492 new enterprises settled in Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, accounting for 10.3% of the total new enterprises in Chongqing.

The agglomeration effect and open function of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone have been revealed.

To promote the facilitation of investment and trade

In the one hundred days after the operation of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, the new policies were put up constantly to promote pragmatically both the facilitation of investment and trade as well as the regional linking development:

At the beginning of the operation, related support policies were announced by over 10 authorities including Chongqing Administration for Industry & Commerce, Chongqing Development and Reform Commission, Chongqing Port Office, Bureau of Exit and Entry Control of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, Chongqing Municipal Higher People's Court,Chongqing Intellectual Property Office, Chongqing Financial Affairs Office and etc. In early July, Chongqing Municipal Of fi ce, SAT issued a “Noti fi cation on Ten Tax Measures Serving China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone”, in which there were 5 categories and 71 tax preferential policies, providing a inventorylike tax preferential policy for enterprises. The free trade zone has realized to pay tax by scanning yard of the third party like Alipay, WeChat and etc. The special service hotline of free trade zone is set in 12366 which is the Chongqing Tax Hotline to eliminate confusions. Through the cooperation of tax and post office, taxpayers can receive invoices at home. Enlarging the scope of the application of electronic invoices, enterprises in the free trade zone can apply VAT electronic plain invoice. All the above contents have attracted large attention. The slogan “To create a good business environment for the development of free trade zone so that investors can do business easily.” has been put up in various kinds of publicities. Chongqing has implemented the supporting policies given by the State Council in Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, which allows Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone to dock with the world in many aspects.

It is understood that until the early July in 2017, 48 of the 51 reproducible and propagable advanced experiences issued by the State Council are implemented by Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone.“Systems of finance lease and customs supervision”has shaped a process of finance lease and customs supervision for plane, which will be officially tested. Rules like “enterprises set up a single window”,“international trade set up a single window” have also been sped up. Innovation of several entry mechanisms created fi rst by Xiyong Comprehensive Bonded Zone is expected to be an advance experience that is born in Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and reproducible to the whole nation. The reporter also noticed that among the “business hour” published by the third batch of each free trade zone, only Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone uses “hour” as the timing unit from which you can see the ef fi ciency advocated by Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone.

Now the specific policies to the zone produced by various departments of Chongqing are all rather pragmatic and pertinent, mainly focused on the solution of investment facilitation in the trade zone. Those greatly benefit from the extensive experience and resources accumulated by Chongqing in recent years in opening up and developing export-oriented economy. Chongqing has the platform of “three threein-one” and Chongqing-Sinkiang-Europe International Railway that is still under development. Especially the completion of south-ward channels represented by“Chongqing-Guangxi-Singapore” will all bring a lot of convenience to the development of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and greatly enhance the external attraction of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone. Yang Bai, Director of the International Business School of Sichuan International Studies University and Secretary-General of Chongqing International Institute of Strategic Studies, said.

The development of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone has received extensive attention from all walks of life. From June 22 to July 7, high-level seminars were held in Chongqing like “The First Construction and Development Seminar of China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone”, “2017 Investment Cooperation, Innovation and Development Summit of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone”. Leaders of Chongqing Municipality, administrators of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and many experts at home and abroad had talked about the expectations and anticipations to the future of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and even Chongqing. After confirming the benchmarking from Hong Kong, several experts from the HKSAR government, the business sector and financial circle came to Chongqing for special investigation, communication and seeking greater opportunities for cooperation between Chongqing and Hong Kong. As stated by Zhang Kui, director of the innovation department of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, Chongqing Commerce Commission, in the first meeting, “To Chongqing, free trade zone is still a new thing and the development of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone is still in the exploration stage.”With the opening up of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, more and more enterprises will converge on this land in Chongqing, driving the rapid development of Chongqing’s economy.

The one hundred days have let us see the firm determination and promotion efforts made by Chongqing to develop Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone as well as the pragmatic and efficient working style of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone. We are hopeful about the future of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and the more open tomorrow of Chongqing!
