The survey results show that the national business environment assessment score in 2023 increased slightly compared with the previous year. Over 90% of the sample companies believe that China’s business environment has improved in the past year, and 64.2% of them believe that the business environment has improved very much or greatly. The five environmental assessment scores of factors, government affairs, market, rule of law and innovation all increased compared with the previous year. Among them, the innovation environment score has improved the fastest, and the legal environment score has ranked first among the five major environments for four consecutive years.
tuneThe survey results show that in the eyes of private enterprises, China’s business environment construction in the past year has shown the following characteristics:
1. The “31 Private Economy Articles” have received widespread attention from private enterprises.More than 90% of the sample enterprises reported that they understood the relevant spirit of the “31 Articles of Private Economy”, of which 50% said they understood it very well or relatively well. 83.6% of enterprises believe that the social environment for the development of the private economy has improved, and the social atmosphere that cares, encourages, and supports the development of the private economy is getting better and better.
2. The development confidence of private enterprises is recovering.87.2% of the companies said they were very optimistic or relatively optimistic about the development prospects of their companies, and 86% of the companies said they were very optimistic or relatively optimistic about the development prospects of their industry. 41.6% of companies stated that they will expand investment in the next year, which is 8.8 percentage points higher than the proportion of companies that actually made new investments in the past year, indicating that companies’ investment willingness and investment confidence are showing a positive trend.
3. The “double randomization, one disclosure” supervision method is well received by enterprises.59.1% of the sample companies have received “double random and one public” inspection in the past year. Among them, 84.1% of enterprises said they accepted joint inspections from multiple departments, indicating that joint inspections by multiple departments are becoming the main method of door-to-door inspections. Enterprises are highly satisfied with the frequency and results of door-to-door inspections by regulatory authorities. Among them, nearly 80% of enterprises expressed approval of the frequency of inspections, and 87.1% of enterprises were very satisfied or relatively satisfied with the results of multi-department joint inspections.
4. The situation of corporate debt arrears has improved compared with the past year.63% of the sample companies stated that there were no arrears of accounts receivable in the past year. This proportion increased by 13 percentage points from the previous year. To a certain extent, it shows that various localities have achieved initial results in solving the problem of arrears of accounts receivable to private enterprises.
5. Enterprise-related fee management is more standardized and transparent.99.4% of the sample companies stated that they had not encountered arbitrary charges, fines, or apportionments in the past year, indicating that the special rectification actions against illegal and arbitrary charges by enterprises in various places have achieved good results.
6. Chambers of commerce play a prominent role in serving the development of enterprises.Nearly 80% of sample companies expressed satisfaction with the development and role of local chambers of commerce. When a company’s own rights and interests are damaged, 57.4% of companies said they would give priority to the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce to help solve the problem.
7. There is a large gap in the business environment evaluation scores of different industries.Analysis of the business environment evaluation of 12 industries with a large sample size shows that 92.3% of sample companies believe that the business environment has improved compared with the previous year. In order of scores, the evaluation scores of textile and clothing, machinery manufacturing, new materials, and biopharmaceuticals rank among the top 4, with the textile and apparel industry scoring the highest; the evaluation scores of hotels and catering, public utilities, construction, and real estate industries rank among the bottom 4, with real estate ranking among the top 4. The industry has the lowest score.
The survey results show that the sample companies are also full of expectations for further improvement of the business environment. In terms of factor environment, we hope to focus on increasing financing support and reducing logistics costs. In terms of the government environment, we hope to improve the convenience of government services, implement tax and fee reduction policies, and enhance the stability, continuity and synergy of business-friendly policies. In terms of market environment, we hope to improve the fairness, standardization and simplicity of government supervision, avoid “one size fits all” policy implementation, and standardize and reduce intermediary agency charging standards. In terms of the legal environment, we hope to establish and improve a private economic complaint and rights protection platform, and implement law enforcement methods such as notification, reminder, and persuasion. In terms of innovation environment, we hope to further increase the introduction of innovative talents, open up cooperation channels between enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes, and strengthen fiscal and taxation policy support.
