Adhering to problem-oriented, goal-oriented, and results-oriented approaches, we will earnestly carry out the “Eight Major Research and Service Initiatives” and effectively operate the closed-loop mechanism for “collection—screening—handling—feedback” of issues. We will focus on four key enterprise lists—positive growth, negative growth, newly constructed and commissioned, and enterprises拟 to meet scale criteria—as well as the lists of planned starts,under-construction, completed, reserve, and planned projects. We will concentrate efforts to resolve a batch of urgent, difficult, and pressing issues: those at the municipal and county levels will be addressed by the respective localities, while those at the autonomous region level will be assigned and resolved by the Autonomous Region’s Real Economy Research and Service Task Force. Major issues that the Task Force finds difficult to coordinate will be submitted to the Autonomous Region’s Industrial Economy Regional Coordination Meeting mechanism for deliberation and resolution. We will continue to advance the “Three Increases, Two Reductions, and Three Eliminations” goals and accelerate the development of a convenient business environment for both domestic and international dual circulation markets.
33. Continuously improve the system of service officers for the real economy. Organize service officers to carry out liaison work for autonomous region leaders’ on-site research visits in accordance with the principle of “responding whenever needed, but not disturbing when not needed.” They should regularly visit and survey key enterprises and projects, use the “Service the Real Economy” mobile app to respond to enterprise requests 24 hours a day, continuously identify and resolve enterprise issues, and promote the implementation of the 64 policies aimed at accelerating the growth of the real economy. Organize and implement specialized activities related to financing, labor, logistics, and market matching.

Implement monthly monitoring and coordination, closely tracking indicators such as production schedules, order backlogs, and production equipment utilization rates for the top 500 key industrial enterprises. Enhance coordination to resolve enterprise issues and ensure stable and increased production at key enterprises.
35. Implement a three-tiered (autonomous region, prefecture-level city, and county) coordination and service mechanism. Continue the system where department and division-level leaders are assigned to provide direct liaison and service to all industrial enterprises above designated size. The autonomous region will serve 500 key industrial enterprises, prefecture-level cities will serve approximately 5,000 industrial enterprises, and counties (cities, districts) will serve approximately 4,500 industrial enterprises, achieving full coverage of direct liaison services for all enterprises above designated size.Refine the “three-list” work mechanism—comprising enterprise lists, issue lists, and task lists—to strengthen coordination and oversight regarding issues reported by enterprises.
36. Assist enterprises that have reduced or suspended production in overcoming difficulties. Adopt a “one enterprise, one service officer” approach, organizing service officers for the real economy to visit key enterprises that have reduced or suspended production to gain a thorough understanding of the reasons behind these actions. Implement “one enterprise, one strategy” to help enterprises resolve development challenges, thereby driving output growth from negative to positive and narrowing the rate of decline.
37. Effectively carry out the “Together for Enterprise” service initiative for small, medium, and micro enterprises. Focusing on the entire lifecycle of these enterprises—from startup to operations and development—and centered on policy implementation, targeted services, and development promotion, we will prioritize removing bottlenecks in policy implementation, resolving operational pain points and difficulties, and improving the quality and efficiency of development. This will help small, medium, and micro enterprises boost confidence, revitalize operations, and strengthen their capabilities. We will establish a platform for matching specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises with job opportunities at colleges and universities, and organize school-enterprise job matching events.
X. Strengthening Implementation and Ensuring Results
38. Strengthen Policy Publicity and Promotion. Enhance policy interpretation and public outreach. Encourage cities, counties, and the “Real Economy Service Teams” to conduct various policy promotion activities, guiding enterprises to gain a deep understanding and actively participate, ensuring that all business-support policies are fully known and fully utilized.
39. Strengthen Oversight of Fund Disbursement. All cities, counties (cities, districts) must ensure that business support policies are delivered precisely, processed swiftly, and enjoyed promptly. Business support funds must be disbursed in a timely manner, and the diversion or withholding of funds allocated at the autonomous region level is strictly prohibited. Strengthen tracking of business support fund disbursements; issue reminders, conduct interviews, and require timely rectification for cases of slow expenditure, withholding, or misappropriation of funds.
40. Reinforce accountability for stabilizing economic growth. At the autonomous region level, the achievement of key indicators—such as industrial value-added and industrial investment—for cities with enterprises above designated size will be incorporated into the regional work plan for supervising and reporting on high-quality economic development, with monthly reporting and supervision. Continue implementing the mechanism whereby department leaders liaise with and serve cities to stabilize growth, and strengthen the coordination and resolution of issues through the “two-way list” system for economic operations between the region and cities.
