重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)自掛牌以來,其未來發(fā)展受到外界高度關(guān)注。7月7日下午,2017重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)投資合作創(chuàng)新發(fā)展峰會在重慶江北嘴中央商務(wù)區(qū)舉行。本次峰會由重慶市商務(wù)委員會、中國(重慶)自由貿(mào)易試驗區(qū)辦公室指導(dǎo),重慶市投資促進局、重慶江北嘴中央商務(wù)區(qū)管理委員會、重慶江北嘴金融促進會聯(lián)合主辦。旨在為搭建探討重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)發(fā)展的交流陣地,推動試驗區(qū)更好更快地成熟與發(fā)展。
新加坡前駐美國大使館參贊郭成惠,復(fù)旦大學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)院黨委副書記、上海自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)綜合研究院秘書長尹晨,以及重慶市商務(wù)委員會、中國(重慶)自由貿(mào)易試驗區(qū)辦公室相關(guān)負責(zé)人和試驗區(qū)內(nèi)多家企業(yè)負責(zé)人在“問策自貿(mào)區(qū)”主題下充分發(fā)表了各自的觀點。
新加坡前駐美國大使館參贊郭成惠認為,隨著中新(重慶)合作項目的日益推進,新加坡與重慶和西部地區(qū)的聯(lián)系將更加緊密。而新加坡作為率先推動國際自由貿(mào)易的先行對口合作國,將有利促進重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)與新加坡在資金、人才、信息上的互聯(lián)互通。另一方面,重慶的產(chǎn)業(yè)優(yōu)勢非常明顯,汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)就是個很好的例子。而且在自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)范圍內(nèi),跨境電商等現(xiàn)代服務(wù)業(yè)也能發(fā)揮更大的作用。重慶應(yīng)該讓更多外商了解自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的發(fā)展情況和自身的各種優(yōu)勢,促進招商引資,避免這些可貴的優(yōu)勢養(yǎng)在深閨人不識。重慶現(xiàn)在的GDP和人均收入都在快速增長,已經(jīng)成為西部地區(qū)開發(fā)開放的橋頭堡。因此,重慶如果能將自身的區(qū)位優(yōu)勢充分發(fā)揮,就能在很大程度上促進整個西部地區(qū)的進一步互聯(lián)互通和對外開放。他還認為重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)應(yīng)該加強對外的宣傳,提高品牌知名度。
2017重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)投資合作創(chuàng)新發(fā)展峰會現(xiàn)場。
復(fù)旦大學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)院黨委副書記、上海自貿(mào)區(qū)綜合研究院秘書長尹晨在發(fā)言中表示,目前獲批成立的11個自由貿(mào)易試驗區(qū)的共同任務(wù)是要服務(wù)于中國新一輪對外開放的大戰(zhàn)略。在雙向開放的新格局下,重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)除了要復(fù)制和借鑒以上海為代表的自貿(mào)區(qū)的制度框架之外,更加重要的在于要充分用足負面清單政策。今年6月,國務(wù)院辦公廳發(fā)布了《關(guān)于印發(fā)自由貿(mào)易試驗區(qū)外商投資準入特別管理措施(負面清單)(2017年版)的通知》。與上一版相比,新版負面清單減少了10個條目、27項措施。在27項減少的措施中,制造業(yè)有10項措施,信息技術(shù)服務(wù)、金融、租賃和商務(wù)服務(wù)3個行業(yè)有9項措施。服務(wù)業(yè)擴大開放的態(tài)勢已經(jīng)十分明顯,在旅游、文化、醫(yī)療健康、金融服務(wù)等行業(yè),重慶應(yīng)該抓住這次開放的機遇。重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)應(yīng)進一步鞏固產(chǎn)業(yè)經(jīng)濟與城市功能,將重慶建設(shè)成為全球價值鏈的重要環(huán)節(jié)。
“將重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)與重慶在‘一帶一路’與長江經(jīng)濟帶背景中聯(lián)系考慮?!遍L江學(xué)者、重慶大學(xué)著名經(jīng)濟學(xué)教授姚樹潔認為,重慶將成為長江黃金水道上的經(jīng)濟制高點。中國在不斷地積極擴大開放、尋求新發(fā)展機遇。中國經(jīng)濟在改革開放之后,已經(jīng)取得了世人矚目的成就,形成了以長三角、珠三角、京津冀為代表的城市集群。以現(xiàn)在的態(tài)勢來看,成渝城市群很有可能會成為中國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的第四極。在這個背景之下,重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的建設(shè)不僅要克服其他自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)所面臨的困境,還應(yīng)有所創(chuàng)新和特色,從制度統(tǒng)一,到產(chǎn)業(yè)集聚和發(fā)展,再到聯(lián)合成渝城市群,打破壁壘,通過規(guī)?;c集聚化,成為長江黃金水道上游制高點。
重慶市商務(wù)委自貿(mào)辦制度創(chuàng)新處處長張葵在發(fā)言中表示,重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的發(fā)展仍處于摸索階段,隨著重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的對外開放程度越來越高,越來越多的企業(yè)將匯聚在重慶,將帶動重慶開放發(fā)展。
作為西部的橋頭堡城市,重慶經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展對整個西部地區(qū)的發(fā)展起著至關(guān)重要的作用。重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的未來發(fā)展不僅需要對標新加坡等發(fā)達國家的經(jīng)驗,還需要結(jié)合國內(nèi)情況,以上海自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)的發(fā)展經(jīng)驗為藍本,結(jié)合本地產(chǎn)業(yè)經(jīng)貿(mào)特點綜合創(chuàng)新發(fā)展。
“一帶一路”和長江經(jīng)濟帶的漫長貫通的線路上,滬渝總是醒目的兩點,上海向東,重慶向西,兩者之間卻牢牢地連著長江,兩地互動,自然靠著這條黃金水道。港務(wù)物流集團所屬寸灘港區(qū),長江上游最大集裝箱樞紐港;所屬果園港區(qū)是中國內(nèi)河規(guī)劃建設(shè)最大的水、鐵、公聯(lián)運港,是“一帶一路”和長江經(jīng)濟帶的重要節(jié)點?!爸貞c目前有4個國家一類口岸,其中有3個在重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)范圍內(nèi)。憑借其強大的水港功能區(qū)有利條件,不斷展現(xiàn)其外貿(mào)港的巨大優(yōu)勢。重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)應(yīng)充分發(fā)揮各類功能性口岸功能,完善體系,以自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)為契機大力發(fā)展重慶口岸經(jīng)濟。”重慶港務(wù)物流集團有限公司副總經(jīng)理黃繼表示。
交通銀行、重慶國際經(jīng)濟技術(shù)合作集團、重慶鋼鐵集團、第一太平戴維斯等企業(yè)或機構(gòu)的相關(guān)負責(zé)人也在峰會上發(fā)表了對重慶自貿(mào)試驗區(qū)未來發(fā)展的建議。

Since the opening of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, its future development received high attention from the outside world. Afternoon of July 7 witnessed the opening of 2017 Investment Cooperation, Innovation and Development Summit of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone in Chongqing Jiangbeizui CBD. This summit was guided by Chongqing Commerce Commission, Office of China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, and jointly organized by Chongqing Investment Promotion Bureau, Chongqing Jiangbeizui Central Business District Management Committee, and Chongqing Jiangbeizui Financial Promotion Association. It aimed to set up an exchange position to explore the development of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and promote the better and faster maturity and development of the Chongqing Free Trade Zone. Peter Kuok, Counselor of Embassy of Singapore in the United States, Yin Chen, Deputy Secretary of institute of economics in Fudan University and secretary general of the Synthetic Study Institute of Shanghai Free Trade Zone and related person in charge of Chongqing Commerce Commission, Office of China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, and a number of business executives in Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone fully expressed their views under the theme of“Strategies about Free Trade Zone”.
Peter Kuok, Counselor of Embassy of Singapore in the United States considered that with the development of China (Chongqing)-Singapore cooperative project, Singapore will be more closely linked with Chongqing and the West. Singapore, as a leading partner in promoting international free trade, will facilitate the interconnection between Chongqing free trade zone and Singapore in terms of capital, personnel and information. On the other hand, the industrial advantage of Chongqing is very obvious, and the automobile industry is a good example. Moreover, in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, cross-border online retailers and other modern service industry can play a greater role. Chongqing should let more foreigners to understand various advantages of development of the Pilot Free Trade Zone and the promotion of investment, to avoid these valuable advantages kept in unknown. Chongqing's GDP and per capita income are growing rapidly, and it has become the bridgehead for the development and opening of the western region. Therefore, if Chongqing can give full play to its own regional advantages, it can greatly promote the further interconnectivity and opening-up of the whole western region. He also believed that Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone should strengthen external publicity and improve brand awareness.Yin Chen, Deputy Secretary of institute of economics in Fudan University and Secretary General of the Synthetic Study Institute of Shanghai Free Trade Zone, expresses in speech that at present, the common task of those 11 pilot free trade zones is to serve China's new round of opening up strategy. In the new pattern of two-way opening, Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, in addition to copying and drawing on the framework of the free trade zone represented by Shanghai, should fully use the negative list policy. On June 2017, the general office of the State Council issued Special Administrative Measures of Pilot Free Trade Zone for Admittance of Foreign Investments (Negative List) (2017). Compared with the previous edition, the new version of the negative list decreased by 10 entries and 27 measures. In those 27 reductions, 10 measures were taken in the manufacturing sector, with 9 measures in the three sectors of information technology services, finance, leasing and business services. The service sector has opened wider to the outside world. In tourism, culture, health care, financial services and other industries, Chongqing should seize the opportunity of opening-up. The Chongqing free trade zone should further consolidate its industrial, economic and urban functions and build Chongqing into an important part of the global value chain.
After the jointed consideration of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, and Chongqing’s strategic location in “The Belt and Road” Initiative and Yangtze River Economic Zone, Yao Shujie, the Yangtze River Scholar and professor of economics, Chongqing University, considered that Chongqing will become the economic commanding point on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. China is constantly actively opening wider and seeking new opportunities for development. After the reform and opening-up, China has made remarkable achievements in the world, forming a cluster of cities represented by the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. In view of the present situation, the Chengdu and Chongqing urban agglomeration will probably become the fourth pole of China's economic development. In this context, the construction of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone should not only overcome dilemmas faced by other free trade zones but also has innovation and its characteristics. From system uni fi cation to industrial agglomeration and development, Chongqing should cooperate with Chengdu to form the urban agglomeration to break barriers to become a commanding point in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River by scale development and industry agglomeration.
Zhang Kui, Director of Department of institutional innovation, Chongqing Commerce Commission, expressed in his speech that, for Chongqing, the Pilot Free Trade Zone is still a new thing. At present, the development of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone is still in the exploratory stage. With the level of opening up of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, more and more enterprises will converge on this land, which will lead to the rapid development of Chongqing's economy.
As a bridgehead in the west, the development of Chongqing's economy plays an important role in the development of the whole western region. The future development of Chongqing free trade zone requires not only the experience of developed countries such as Singapore, but also the domestic situation. Taking the development experience of the Shanghai free trade zone as a model, Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone should combine with the characteristics of local industry and trade to create a comprehensive innovation and development.
On the long lines of “The Belt and Road” Initiative and Yangtze River Economic Zone, Shanghai and Chongqing are always noticeable. Shanghai in the east of China and Chongqing in the west of China, these two cities are connected by the Yangtze River. The interaction between the two places naturally depends on the golden waterway. Cuntan Port Area belonged to Port Logistics Group represents the largest container hub port on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River; Guoyuan Port Area is the biggest combined transport port including the water carriage, railway transportation and road transport in inland river of China and also represents the major connection of “The Belt and Road” Initiative and Yangtze River Economic Zone. Chongqing currently has four national one-class ports, of which three in the Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone. With its powerful conditions in water port function area, Chongqing continues to show its great advantages in its foreign trade ports. Taking the free trade zone as an opportunity, Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone should give full play to various functionality of functional ports, improve the functional port system of Chongqing, and vigorously develop Chongqing port economy, said by Huang Ji, deputy general manager of Chongqing Port Logistics Group Co., Ltd.
Related principals of enterprises and institutions like Bank of Communications, Chongqing International Economic and Technological Cooperation Group, Chongqing Iron and Steel Group, Savills also announced their proposals for the future development of the Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone at the summit.
