從十年發展走向十年領跑——廣西北部灣經濟區設立十周年工作座談會側記

□ 文/本刊記者 李易之

2006年到2016年，北部灣經濟區用10年時間創造了一個“北部灣速度”的奇跡。北部灣經濟區GDP從成立之初的1418.09億元，到2016年的5867.32億元，增長超過了3倍；財政收入增長4.54倍；港口貨物吞吐能力增長了3倍；貿易進出口增長3倍，且已占據全廣西對外貿易的半壁江山，以實力證明了“北部灣速度”。

從“風生水起”，到如今的“龍騰虎躍”，站在北部灣經濟區成立10周年的節點，回顧成績，令人矚目。奇跡的背后，是無數人辛勤耕耘結出的碩果，也是中國政府高度重視下實現的成就。

2016年3月20日，在中國廣西壯族自治區首府南寧舉行的廣西北部灣經濟區“總結十年成就 推動升級發展”工作座談會上，中國國際經濟交流中心理事長曾培炎談道，自己作為北部灣經濟區建設的最早參與者，親眼見證它從誕生到成長壯大，感到十分欣慰。

他指出，歷經十年開放開發，北部灣經濟區經濟綜合實力顯著增強，區域發展戰略地位不斷提升，與周邊地區開放合作務實推進，改革創新先行先試凸顯亮點。北部灣不僅成為引領廣西加快發展的核心增長極，也成為中國沿海經濟最具活力、發展最快的地區之一，成為中國與東盟聯系最緊密、合作最有效的區域之一。

曾培炎認為，在第13個五年計劃階段，中國仍處于重要的戰略機遇期。北部灣經濟區開放開發應按照“五位一體”總體布局和“四個全面”規劃，積極融入國家規劃、擴大開放合作，堅持創新驅動、科學統籌，集中力量優先發展。

曾培炎表示，希望北部灣經濟區在深入理解國家對廣西發展的“三大定位”基礎上，結合自身特點和優勢，找準北部灣經濟區未來發展的新定位，發揮政策的綜合優勢，打造“一帶一路”與東盟合作的新樞紐，尋找產業升級發展的新方式，注重沿海中心城市的集聚輻射作用，努力打造北部灣經濟區升級版，推進北部灣經濟區全面開放開發。

如今的北部灣經濟區早已成為了廣西經濟社會發展的重要引擎，廣西壯族自治區黨委書記彭清華認為，北部灣經濟區開放開發10年歷程就是新世紀以來廣西擴大對外開放的縮影。

他表示，2016年是中國“十三五”開局之年，也是北部灣經濟區在經歷了前10年的開發建設之后，又一個10年的開始。北部灣經濟區現已是國際大通道的主通道、戰略支點的核心區、“一帶一路”的銜接點，在千載難逢的機遇之下，北部灣將大有作為，同時也將享受十分可觀的政策紅利。

彭清華表示，北部灣經濟區作為廣西經濟實力最強、成長性最好的發展區域，能否實現升級發展、在廣西率先全面建成小康社會、發揮好引擎的作用，對廣西“十三五”發展目標的實現將產生非常大的影響。

據了解，在廣西“十三五”規劃中，北部灣經濟區四市到2020年經濟總量將占全廣西的40%以上；北部灣還將力爭實現“三個過萬”，即地區生產總值、規模以上工業總產值過1萬億元，人均生產總值過1萬美元；其高新技術產業、現代服務業、沿海港口吞吐能力、城鄉居民人均收入等主要經濟指標增速，在“十三五”要走在全廣西的最前列。

要實現這些目標，彭清華表示，北部灣經濟區應做到樹立并貫徹五大發展理念、全面深化改革創新、破除瓶頸制約等；應將打造北部灣經濟區規劃建設升級版、提升跨境貿易運輸等便利化水平、加快推進供給側結構性改革、構建高端高質高效現代產業體系、打造北部灣經濟區同城化升級版等作為主攻的方向。

彭清華還強調說，北部灣經濟區各級相關部門要繼續發揚 “北部灣精神”，勇挑重擔、主動作為、共同協作，為加快實現自治區“兩個建成”，即“實現與全國同步全面建成小康社會”、“基本建成西南中南地區開放發展新的戰略支點”的目標，作出新的更大貢獻。

Take the Lead in the Next Decade Based on Remarkable Achievements in the Last Decade --Summary of the Forum of 10th Anniversary of the Establishment of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone

written by Li Yizhi / translated by Mo Tingting

F or the last 10 years Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone (BGEZ) has shot up with dramatic changes at a remarkable “Beibu Gulf Speed” from 2006 to 2016.Its GDP topped 586.732 billion yuan by 2016, rising more than 3 times from 141.809 billion yuan in its early days; the fi scal revenue increased by 4.54 times; the port handling capacity rose by 3 times; and the total volume of imports and exports grew by threefold, claiming half of market share of Guangxi’s foreign trade.

Depending on concerted efforts of numerous people and close attention from the government of China, a thriving and promising BGEZ has emerged in the world, achieving remarkable achievements and satisfying results.

At the Forum concerning BGEZ’s “Summary on Ten-years Achievements, Outlook for Industrial Upgrading and Development” held in Nanning, the provincial capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on March 20, 2016, the Chairman of China Center International for Economic Exchange (CCIEE) Zeng Peiyan expressed his delight to be involved in the construction of BGEZ, as he had witnessed BGEZ’s formation and growth all the way.

Zeng pointed out that, having experienced tenyears opening up and development, BGEZ has significantly enhanced its comprehensive strength, constantly lifted its regional development strategic position, expanded opening up and cooperation with surrounding regions in a pragmatic manner, and emphasized on its highlights through carrying out pilot schemes in reform and innovation.BGEZ has not only become a core growth pole in leading rapid growth of Guangxi, but also one of the most dynamic regions with fastest economic growth in the coastal areas of China, and one of the regions closest to ASEAN with most effective cooperation.

Zeng indicated that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China is still in an important period of strategic opportunities.According to the general layout of “Five-in-One” and the planning of “Four Comprehensives”, BGEZ should be committed to opening up and development by proactively being involved in national programming and expanding opening up and cooperation, insisting on innovation driving, scientifi c planning and concentrating on priority development.

Based on the deep understanding of Guangxi’s “Three Orientations” formulated by the state, and combining with self characteristics and advantages, BGEZ should endeavor to build an upgraded version of itself and carry forward its all-round opening up and development by capturing its new positioning for futuredevelopment, exerting comprehensive advantages of the policies, forging a new hub for cooperation between the Belt and Road construction and the coopertation with ASEAN, exploring new model for industrial upgrading and development, and paying attention to the gathering and radiation effect of central cities in coastal areas, Zeng said.

BGEZ has already been a powerful engine for the economic and social development of Guangxi.Peng Qinghua, Party Secretary of CPC Guangxi Committee remarked that the opening up and development of BGEZ in the last decade can be regarded as an epitome of the expansion of Guangxi’s opening up after entering the 21st century.

Peng indicated that now BGEZ has already served as the main access to the great international channel, the core area of strategic fulcrum, the important gateway for organic linkage of the Belt and Road, embracing a golden opportunity that 2016 is the outset of the state’s Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, as well as the beginning of the next decade after the development and construction of BGEZ during the last decade, adding that there are considerable dividends and preferential policies, and BGEZ will definitely make great-leap-forward development.

Peng suggested that BGEZ as a region enjoying the most powerful economic strength and most steadily growth will determine whether BGEZ can implement upgrade and development, take the lead in building a comprehensive welloff society in Guangxi and play a role as an engine, which will exert huge infl uences on the realization of Guangxi’s development objective under the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.

It is learned that during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, by 2020, the GDP of four cities within BGEZ, namely, Nanning, Beihai, Qinzhou and Fangchenggang, will be over 40 percent of that of Guangxi; BGEZ will also strive for “Three over Tens-of-thousands”: both gross regional production and the total industrial output value over designated size will surpass 1 trillion yuan, and the per capita GDP will exceed US$ 10,000; the growth rate of major economic indicators such as Hi-tech Industries, tertiary industry, coastal port handling capacity and per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents will be at the forefront of Guangxi.

To achieve these goals, BGEZ should insist on and implement five development concepts, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, and break the bottlenecks; BGEZ should aim at an ungraded version of itself through facilitating the cross-border trade transportation, accelerating the reform of the supply side, forming a modern industrial system of high end, high quality and high effi ciency, and forging an ungraded version of urban integration in BGEZ.

At last, Peng emphasized that the relevant departments at all levels of BGEZ shall make additional and more contributions to the realization of “Two Completions”, namely “the completion of building a comprehensive well-off society” and “basic completion of a new strategic fulcrum for the opening up and development of Southwest and South-central China”, by giving full play to the “spirit of the Beibu Gulf” and taking the initiative to shoulder great responsibilities, with concerted efforts.
