(Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Hainan Local Financial Supervision and Administration, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
III. Accelerating the Reform of the Investment and Financing System
(I) Improving resource allocation efficiency. In combination with the actual development of Hainan Province, strictly following the strategic positioning of Hainan Free Trade Port as "three zones and one center", firmly guarding the red line of ecology and permanent basic farmland and not breaking resource utilization and carbon emission caps, we will raise the industry access threshold and investment benefits, and further promote and improve the mechanism of "putting yield per mu first", to ensure that the land and ecological resources of the best quality are left to the best investors. Industries will be guided to gather in the industrial parks and a batch of major industry platforms will be constructed with high quality, to drive the formation of several industry clusters with core competitiveness and promote the convergence of industry agglomeration areas. By reducing investment costs, promoting the flow of resource from low-quality and low-efficiency sectors to high-quality and efficient sectors, and effectively improving capital operation efficiency, more private investors will be guided to participate in the construction of industry systems of Hainan Free Trade Port. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Commerce of Hainan Province, the Department of Natural Resources and Planning of Hainan Province, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(II) Broadening investment and financing channels. We will form a closed-loop working mechanism for investment and financing integration, do a good job in project packaging, and strive for more special bonds; gradually expand the issuance of infrastructure REITs products, revitalize high-quality stock assets, expand financing channels, and reduce overall financing costs; build a standard and efficient PPP promotion mechanism, and form a work force to regularly launch to the society a batch of projects featuring high profitability, short payback period, stable cash flows and reasonable return mechanism. For beneficial projects with investment grants from central and local governments, government investment can be used as project principal to expand financing capacity and increase the overall scale of social financing. Efforts will be made to give full play to the role of Hainan Free Trade Port Construction Investment Fund, attract private capital to initiate the establishment of special sub-funds for projects, broaden the financing channels for major projects, and support the construction of major projects. The confidence of market players in investing and starting businesses in Hainan' Province will be enhanced by creating a first-class business environment, and promoting the realization of "zero visit" for government affairs and "optimized services" benefiting the people and enterprises. Under the premise of security control, we will greatly relax market access, promote the convenient and efficient flow of production factors from home and abroad in the island, and create an open, transparent, and predictable investment environment. Enterprises are encouraged and guided to go public on domestic or overseas markets for financing. Local government bonds and enterprise bonds will be issued to eligible foreign investors around the world in due course. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Hainan Local Financial Supervision and Administration, the Hainan Regulatory Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(III) Innovating the investment supervision mode. Under the "risk controllable" premise, we will make full use of modern information means to build a new credit-based investment supervision mechanism, and improve the "Internet Plus Supervision" mode, to realize that both ex ante record-filing services and interim and ex post supervision are in place. The integration of systems and platforms developed by the government will be strengthened, to realize the horizontal smooth connection and vertical alignment of all project supervision platforms of Hainan Province and basically realize "one network" of investment supervision platforms by 2023. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Big Data Administration of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(IV) Implementing investment facilitation systems such as "granting enterprises market access with a prior commitment" and "minimal approval procedures". For private investment projects, we will strictly implement the policy of "entry unless on the list" and, in principle, we will cancel permit and approval for areas with mandatory standards. Enterprises will be directly issued by government departments with the relevant certificates whereby the construction can be started if their investment behaviors comply with and implement the relevant prevailing laws and regulations, and they obtain the land for construction, meet the conditions for commencement of construction, and make a commitment according to the content notified by administrative approval organs. For government-invested projects, by integration of third-party review institutions in the links of industry review, official reply to projects, and financial review, a joint review and approval system will be established; under the system, third-party review reports will be shared to ensure the consistency between budget review and approval of estimate, reduce procedural work, and improve working efficiency. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Government Affairs Service Center of Hainan, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Hainan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
IV. Safeguarding Measures
(I) Implementing the classified promotion responsibility system for projects. By relying on the online supervision platform for all private investment projects of Hainan Province, a three-year key project database will be established. Tasks in the key (major) project plan of each year will be broken down. The leaders of four leading groups of Hainan Province shall each take the lead to promote a provincial key (major) project on the whole chain, for which, in principle, the total investment shall not be less than RMB2.5 billion; the remaining projects shall be broken down and promoted by municipal and county-level leaders in a manner that is consistent with provincial leaders’ responsibilities for projects. A project division plan or list shall be prepared, with leadership responsibilities and timing nodes defined. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(II) Comprehensively strengthening the guarantee of project elements. We will strictly implement the "elements meeting the need of projects" mechanism, strengthen the provincial coordination of resource elements, properly plan the land, energy consumption, funds, and other elements of projects in advance, promote a precise match and a balance between projects and the policy system, and fully guarantee the land, sea, and forest use indicators of projects. The projects will be properly tracked and supervised. Governments of cities and counties, authorities of industrial parks, and the relevant departments and bureaus will solve the problems affecting the progress of investment in a timely manner. The Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission will regularly organize the Department of Natural Resources and Planning of Hainan Province, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Forestry Department of Hainan Province, and other departments to hold a provincial interdepartmental joint conference, to coordinate the resolution of problems in project element security and straighten up the plugging points in the investment work; if the problems cannot be solved by the joint conference, they will be promptly reported to the provincial government for resolution.

(III) Implementing the primary responsibilities for investment promotion with high quality. By strengthening investment promotion, Deputy Governors are each responsible for introducing one to two industry projects with a total investment of RMB1 billion or above each year; main principals of the three prefecture-level cities, namely Haikou, Sanya, and Danzhou and 11 key industrial parks will each introduce at least three industry projects with a total investment of RMB500 million or above each year; main leaders of other cities and counties will introduce at least three industry projects with a total investment of RMB100 million or above each year, so as to ensure the continuous implementation of industry projects and continuously expand the scale of industry investment. More attention will be paid to attracting foreign capital to participate in the construction of major industry projects. Main principals of cities and counties and 11 key industrial parks will each introduce at least one foreign investment project per year. Investment promotion and project commencement will be seamlessly connected. The content of agreements signed by enterprises and the People's Government of Hainan Province will be tracked and assessed on a quarterly basis. The transformation of investment projects with cooperation intentions will be promoted. For projects for which agreements are signed with governments cities and counties (authorities of industrial parks), a provincial "contracted project bank" for investment promotion will be established and services will be tracked on the whole chain. If the construction of a project approved at the provincial investment promotion joint conference has not commenced for more than one year, the approval results of the project will be written off, and the assessment and evaluation qualifications for investment promotion for the current year of the city or county where the project is implemented will be cancelled. (Responsible authorities: the Department of Commerce of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(IV) Refining the annual project list. The concept of "putting projects first" will be established. At the beginning of each year, the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission will take the lead to complete the preparation of the annual project list, implement dynamic management of projects, transfer the projects long pending commencement out of the project bank, add mature projects to the project bank in a timely manner, and adjust the annual investment plan and other contents as necessary according to procedures. With projects as the starting point, we will continue the centralized commencement of projects in odd months and the centralized signing of projects in even months, to ensure that the monthly investment plan is supported by projects. We will regularly carry out activities of "serving projects, enterprises, and the grass roots" in cities and counties, improve scheduling system for provincial key (major) projects and projects with a total investment of RMB5 million or above, find out investment-related problems, grasp the real-time completion of investment, study and judge investment situation, and put forward specific solutions in a timely manner, to ensure that the investment work is carried out smoothly as expected. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(V) Giving play to the role of key industrial parks. Powers that are required and can be undertaken by parks will be further delegated, so that the parks are truly empowered and are decision makers; the parks shall intensify innovation in their teams and management mechanisms and in system integration, so that the demonstration and driving effect of the industrial parks in the construction of major industry platforms can be brought into full play. A positive competition orientation towards striving for excellence and the survival of the fittest will be formed by establishing a key industrial park creation system of Hainan Province clarifying park creation standards, further improving the assessment and dynamic adjustment mechanism of the parks, and implementing the warning and withdrawal system. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(VI) Strengthening the fulfillment of responsibilities. The correct orientation towards competent persons taking office, superiors getting awards, mediocre persons being degraded, and the inferiors being removed will be formed.

(Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Hainan Local Financial Supervision and Administration, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
III. Accelerating the Reform of the Investment and Financing System
(I) Improving resource allocation efficiency. In combination with the actual development of Hainan Province, strictly following the strategic positioning of Hainan Free Trade Port as "three zones and one center", firmly guarding the red line of ecology and permanent basic farmland and not breaking resource utilization and carbon emission caps, we will raise the industry access threshold and investment benefits, and further promote and improve the mechanism of "putting yield per mu first", to ensure that the land and ecological resources of the best quality are left to the best investors. Industries will be guided to gather in the industrial parks and a batch of major industry platforms will be constructed with high quality, to drive the formation of several industry clusters with core competitiveness and promote the convergence of industry agglomeration areas. By reducing investment costs, promoting the flow of resource from low-quality and low-efficiency sectors to high-quality and efficient sectors, and effectively improving capital operation efficiency, more private investors will be guided to participate in the construction of industry systems of Hainan Free Trade Port. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Commerce of Hainan Province, the Department of Natural Resources and Planning of Hainan Province, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)

For beneficial projects with investment grants from central and local governments, government investment can be used as project principal to expand financing capacity and increase the overall scale of social financing. Efforts will be made to give full play to the role of Hainan Free Trade Port Construction Investment Fund, attract private capital to initiate the establishment of special sub-funds for projects, broaden the financing channels for major projects, and support the construction of major projects. The confidence of market players in investing and starting businesses in Hainan' Province will be enhanced by creating a first-class business environment, and promoting the realization of "zero visit" for government affairs and "optimized services" benefiting the people and enterprises. Under the premise of security control, we will greatly relax market access, promote the convenient and efficient flow of production factors from home and abroad in the island, and create an open, transparent, and predictable investment environment. Enterprises are encouraged and guided to go public on domestic or overseas markets for financing. Local government bonds and enterprise bonds will be issued to eligible foreign investors around the world in due course. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Hainan Local Financial Supervision and Administration, the Hainan Regulatory Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(III) Innovating the investment supervision mode. Under the "risk controllable" premise, we will make full use of modern information means to build a new credit-based investment supervision mechanism, and improve the "Internet Plus Supervision" mode, to realize that both ex ante record-filing services and interim and ex post supervision are in place. The integration of systems and platforms developed by the government will be strengthened, to realize the horizontal smooth connection and vertical alignment of all project supervision platforms of Hainan Province and basically realize "one network" of investment supervision platforms by 2023. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Big Data Administration of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(IV) Implementing investment facilitation systems such as "granting enterprises market access with a prior commitment" and "minimal approval procedures". For private investment projects, we will strictly implement the policy of "entry unless on the list" and, in principle, we will cancel permit and approval for areas with mandatory standards. Enterprises will be directly issued by government departments with the relevant certificates whereby the construction can be started if their investment behaviors comply with and implement the relevant prevailing laws and regulations, and they obtain the land for construction, meet the conditions for commencement of construction, and make a commitment according to the content notified by administrative approval organs. For government-invested projects, by integration of third-party review institutions in the links of industry review, official reply to projects, and financial review, a joint review and approval system will be established; under the system, third-party review reports will be shared to ensure the consistency between budget review and approval of estimate, reduce procedural work, and improve working efficiency. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Government Affairs Service Center of Hainan, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Hainan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
IV. Safeguarding Measures
(I) Implementing the classified promotion responsibility system for projects. By relying on the online supervision platform for all private investment projects of Hainan Province, a three-year key project database will be established. Tasks in the key (major) project plan of each year will be broken down. The leaders of four leading groups of Hainan Province shall each take the lead to promote a provincial key (major) project on the whole chain, for which, in principle, the total investment shall not be less than RMB2.5 billion; the remaining projects shall be broken down and promoted by municipal and county-level leaders in a manner that is consistent with provincial leaders’ responsibilities for projects. A project division plan or list shall be prepared, with leadership responsibilities and timing nodes defined. (Responsible authorities: the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(II) Comprehensively strengthening the guarantee of project elements. We will strictly implement the "elements meeting the need of projects" mechanism, strengthen the provincial coordination of resource elements, properly plan the land, energy consumption, funds, and other elements of projects in advance, promote a precise match and a balance between projects and the policy system, and fully guarantee the land, sea, and forest use indicators of projects. The projects will be properly tracked and supervised. Governments of cities and counties, authorities of industrial parks, and the relevant departments and bureaus will solve the problems affecting the progress of investment in a timely manner. The Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission will regularly organize the Department of Natural Resources and Planning of Hainan Province, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Forestry Department of Hainan Province, and other departments to hold a provincial interdepartmental joint conference, to coordinate the resolution of problems in project element security and straighten up the plugging points in the investment work; if the problems cannot be solved by the joint conference, they will be promptly reported to the provincial government for resolution.

(III) Implementing the primary responsibilities for investment promotion with high quality. By strengthening investment promotion, Deputy Governors are each responsible for introducing one to two industry projects with a total investment of RMB1 billion or above each year; main principals of the three prefecture-level cities, namely Haikou, Sanya, and Danzhou and 11 key industrial parks will each introduce at least three industry projects with a total investment of RMB500 million or above each year; main leaders of other cities and counties will introduce at least three industry projects with a total investment of RMB100 million or above each year, so as to ensure the continuous implementation of industry projects and continuously expand the scale of industry investment. More attention will be paid to attracting foreign capital to participate in the construction of major industry projects. Main principals of cities and counties and 11 key industrial parks will each introduce at least one foreign investment project per year. Investment promotion and project commencement will be seamlessly connected. The content of agreements signed by enterprises and the People's Government of Hainan Province will be tracked and assessed on a quarterly basis. The transformation of investment projects with cooperation intentions will be promoted. For projects for which agreements are signed with governments cities and counties (authorities of industrial parks), a provincial "contracted project bank" for investment promotion will be established and services will be tracked on the whole chain. If the construction of a project approved at the provincial investment promotion joint conference has not commenced for more than one year, the approval results of the project will be written off, and the assessment and evaluation qualifications for investment promotion for the current year of the city or county where the project is implemented will be cancelled. (Responsible authorities: the Department of Commerce of Hainan Province, etc., governments of all cities and counties, and 11 key industrial parks)
(IV) Refining the annual project list. The concept of "putting projects first" will be established. At the beginning of each year, the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission will take the lead to complete the preparation of the annual project list, implement dynamic management of projects, transfer the projects long pending commencement out of the project bank, add mature projects to the project bank in a timely manner, and adjust the annual investment plan and other contents as necessary according to procedures. With projects as the starting point, we will continue the centralized commencement of projects in odd months and the centralized signing of projects in even months, to ensure that the monthly investment plan is supported by projects. We will regularly carry out activities of "serving projects, enterprises, and the grass roots" in cities and counties, improve scheduling system for provincial key (major) projects and projects with a total investment of RMB5 million or above, find out investment-related problems, grasp the real-time completion of investment, study and judge investment situation, and put forward specific solutions in a timely manner, to ensure that the investment work is carried out smoothly as expected.

(VI) Strengthening the fulfillment of responsibilities. The correct orientation towards competent persons taking office, superiors getting awards, mediocre persons being degraded, and the inferiors being removed will be formed. In the comprehensive assessment of high-quality development of cities and counties in Hainan Province, the weight allotted to indicators for the completion of investment will appropriately increase. Meanwhile, in cities, counties, and industrial parks that have excessively completed the annual investment, in terms of land use, forest use, and other aspects, when the planned indicator for an annual increase of land or forests used for construction is insufficient, provincial authorities will first provide guarantee through coordination.
