What achievements have been made in the development of the western region?

First, accelerating development is the top priority. The state has continuously increased its support for the western region, and the economic and social development in the western region has been accelerating. By 2009, the state had started 70 key projects for the development of the western region, with a total investment of about 1 trillion yuan. The central government invested 550 billion yuan in financial construction funds, 750 billion yuan in financial transfer payments, and 3 10 billion yuan in long-term construction funds.

State investment has stimulated social investment and promoted the rapid economic development in the western region. From 2000 to 2004, the GDP of the western region grew at an average annual rate of 10.2%, which narrowed the relative gap with the national economic growth rate of the same caliber.

In 2004, compared with 1999, the local fiscal revenue in the western region nearly doubled, and its own economic strength was obviously improved. The profits of industrial enterprises in the western region have increased substantially, the economic benefits and self-development ability of the western region have been continuously enhanced, and the adjustment of industrial structure has achieved initial results.

Second, with the construction of infrastructure and ecological environment as a breakthrough, the basic problems of the large-scale development of the western region began to be solved. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have chosen the construction of infrastructure and ecological environment, the weakest link in the western region and the bottleneck restricting the development of the western region for a long time, as a breakthrough, and put forward that we should strive to make breakthrough progress in the first decade of western development.

By 2009, substantial progress has been made in infrastructure construction in the western region, and the protection and construction of ecological environment have been significantly strengthened. The West-East Gas Pipeline Project was put into commercial operation one year ahead of schedule, the task of transmitting electricity to Guangdong100000 kilowatts was completed ahead of schedule, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was paved one year ahead of schedule.

By the end of 2005, 84.67 million mu of farmland had been returned to forests in the western region, and afforestation of barren hills and wasteland was completed115.79 million mu. The project of returning grazing to grassland has arranged to control 290 million mu of seriously degraded grassland. After several years of hard work, many projects have begun to exert economic, social and ecological benefits.

Third, adhere to the people-oriented guiding ideology, and the people's living standards in the western region have been continuously improved. In the large-scale development of the western region, the state attaches importance to major projects that have a bearing on the overall situation of the western region and small and medium-sized projects that have a bearing on the vital interests of the people, so that people of all ethnic groups continue to benefit.

Oil roads to counties, power transmission to townships, radio and television to villages have been basically realized, projects such as county roads, rural drinking water, rural energy and ecological migration have been actively promoted, the "two basics" plan has been implemented steadily, the construction of public health facilities has been strengthened, and the income and living standards of urban and rural residents have been continuously improved.

Fourth, under the impetus of reform and opening up, the vitality of economic and social development in the western region has been continuously improved. Since the development of the western region, the state has regarded deepening reform and opening wider to the outside world as a powerful driving force and a major task for the development of the western region, actively promoted the reform of state-owned enterprises, and vigorously developed the mixed ownership economy.

Local governments at all levels in the west actively encourage, support and guide the development of non-public economy such as individual and private enterprises, vigorously improve the market system, continuously improve the investment environment, and further broaden the fields of East-West cooperation and opening up.

Extended data:

I. Background

1. the stage of western development: the development of the western region needs careful planning and gradual progress. First of all, we should make clear the present situation of the western region, study what development stages the western region will go through from the beginning to the basic realization of modernization, and what are the characteristics, goals and tasks of each stage, so as to gradually realize modernization.

The urgent task is to determine the first stage of western development, that is, the focus of western development, the potential of economic growth and the internal and external conditions during the tenth five-year plan or longer.

2. The development of the whole country is unbalanced, and so is the development of the western region: the regional gap is basically the gap between urban and rural areas, that is, the gap between industrialization and urbanization. The starting point of China's industrialization and modernization is the city, but the final destination is the countryside.

The difficulty of China's modernization lies not in the cities, but in the vast rural areas. The essence of this problem is the non-agricultural or urbanization of hundreds of millions of agricultural population. It is necessary to study the urbanization road with China characteristics at the present stage and the characteristics of non-agriculture or urbanization in the western development.

Second, the main significance

Actively explore the reform of the investment system, promote the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, and increase the transfer payment. In particular, the interactive development between the east and the west has shown a good momentum.

According to incomplete statistics, from 2000 to 2007, nearly 200,000 enterprises invested and operated in the eastern region to the western region, with a total investment exceeding 654.38+0.5 trillion yuan. West Expo, West Expo and China-ASEAN Expo have become important platforms for East-West interaction and cooperation and attracting foreign investment. The accumulated actual utilization of foreign direct investment in the western region is about $654.38+08 billion.

The development of that western region is an important strategic task put forward by the national leader. Because the west is inland and the east is near the sea, the economic development in the central and western regions is unbalanced. This imbalance is too obvious. The west is vast and sparsely populated, and the east is densely populated. The map is also densely populated in the east and scattered in the west. Mainly due to convenient transportation in the east and strong exports.

However, we can't let this imbalance develop. It is necessary to revitalize the western economy and give policy support to the western region. Years of development have also proved that the road to the large-scale development of the western region is correct.
