In its latest Government Work Report, Shanghai's Jiading district has outlined ambitious goals for 2025, hoping to make significant economic and social progress.
It aims for a 5 percent GDP growth rate and a 2 percent rise in general public budget revenue. The output of industries above designated size is expected to grow by 6.5 percent, with major industries achieving double-digit growth. Target growth rates in retail sales and fixed asset investments have been set at 6 percent and over 5 percent, respectively.
The district plans to enhance consumption through initiatives like the 2025 Jiading Shopping Festival and supporting new product launches. Efforts will focus on digital, green, and fashion consumption trends, as well as improving convenience for inbound visitors.
Jiading will enhance support for foreign trade policies, such as export credit insurance, and create new foreign trade paradigms in areas such as digital trade, cross-border e-commerce, and second-hand car exports. The Jiading Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Shanghai Free Trade Zone Innovation Linkage Area will be key focus areas. Efforts will be made to ensure equitable treatment of foreign-funded enterprises in terms of access to resources, qualifications, standards, and government procurement.
Jiading will implement its 8.0 business environment optimization plan, streamline policy services, and enhance its "One-Stop Smart Service 2.0" platform. The district aims to reduce administrative burdens on enterprises and lower logistics costs.
The district will quickly implement incremental policies to benefit enterprises, complete State-owned enterprise reforms, and protect private enterprise property rights. It aims to add 220 new specialized and innovative enterprises and recognize 30 new technology centers in 2025.
