In the 1960s and 1970s, Chaohu City, industry to small fertilizer, small agricultural machinery, small cement, small steel, small coal kilns, "five small" enterprises. Enterprise scale is small, production equipment, technology, technology backward, technology level is generally not high, the industrial structure of a single, weak industrial base. Reform and opening up, especially since the withdrawal of the city, the city vigorously implement the strategy of industrial strength, the main battlefield of the development of the battlefield on the industrialization, relying on resources, transportation, location and other advantages, and adhere to the attraction of investment, accelerate the construction of parks, relying on scientific and technological innovation, the city thus fostered a number of cement, chemical, extractive, marine, wire and cable, food processing and other characteristics and competitive advantages of the industrial pillar industries. At the same time the rise of a number of high ditch cable, Wujiang Chemical, Lin Tou casting, locust fishing nets and other characteristics of industrial clusters and industrial parks. It is worth mentioning that, with the Huayi Chemical, Huaneng Power Plant, Longqiao Iron Ore Mine, Yingpu Cement and other large projects settled, Chaohu has also ended the history of no big industry.
Wei Group, Valin Cable, Huaxing Chemical ...... reform and opening up thirty years, a number of backbone enterprises in the wave of market competition to stand out and thrive. Backbone enterprises have become the main force and spine to drive the development of industrial economy in Chaohu City.
Since the reform and opening up, the counties and districts around the park economy to pay close attention to infrastructure construction, management institutions, policy measures supporting and project introduction, and further increase the construction of industrial parks, the use of "agglomeration" effect of the development of "clusters". Economy, to drive the city's industrial economic development of the "locomotive", the real realization of industrial enterprises "top of the sky" and "pavement", throughout the city's counties and districts of the six provincial-level Development Zone and 60 township industrial zone has begun to take shape. Industrial parks to undertake the demonstration of the role of the eastern industrial transfer and agglomeration effect of the initial appearance, has become the city's new industrial growth pole.
30 years of reform and opening up, Chaohu development facing the environment, conditions and tasks have undergone significant changes. Maintain a sustained, rapid and healthy development of the national economy, the need to constantly explore new ideas for development, new initiatives, new approaches, the implementation of a good scientific concept of development, the economic work to do "four insist".
First, adhere to the development is the hard way. Development is the key to solving all problems. Years of rapid development, the achievements are impressive, 2006 per capita GDP reached 8322 yuan, 1.02 times in 2000. However, compared with developed regions, the level of development is still relatively low, the gap is not narrowing, but is constantly widening. 2006 our per capita GDP is only equivalent to 52% of the country, the province's 83%. From the current development trend, to realize the goal of quadrupling, is certain. But to reach or catch up with the average level of the province and the country, the pressure is still great. Only adhere to the accelerated development in the first place, long-term and Chaohu economic conditions to maintain the pace of development, in order to narrow the gap with the advanced regions as soon as possible, in order to solve the problems of urbanization, industrialization, the "three rural areas", expanding employment to create the conditions for the construction of a better Chaohu confidence, and accelerate the pace of building a harmonious Chaohu.
Second, adhere to improve the quality of economic growth. Economic construction to maintain the unity of speed and efficiency, at this stage to base on their own strengths, adhere to the quantity and quality, scale and efficiency of the double increase. Actively adjust the structure of the three industries, only to improve the proportion of the second industry, especially industry in the overall economy, in order to achieve solid effective growth and long-term rapid development, and to ensure a favorable competitive position in the province. We must accelerate the transformation of the mode of economic development, promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, and strive to cultivate traditional industries, high-tech industries and new industries with the advantages of Chaohu, adopt new technologies and advanced applicable technologies to re-election of traditional industries, promote the development and growth of private enterprises, and promote the strategic adjustment of the entire economic structure to open up a wider range of space for economic growth.
Third, adhere to the implementation of sustainable development strategy. To correctly handle the relationship between economic construction and the environment, resources. Although the city has certain resource advantages, but the utilization rate of resources is not very high, especially the role of advantageous resources has not been given full play. Environmental pollution and ecological destruction of some of the problems have been exposed, historical experience tells us that we must not take the old road of pollution before treatment, destruction before construction, but must walk in the forefront of the times, with a historical perspective to formulate development ideas and policies, attach great importance to the coordinated development of resources, the environment and the population between the protection of the future development of the Chaohu Lake as the starting point of all of our work and the starting point, strengthening the The management of Lake Chaohu and pollution prevention and control, ecological construction and environmental protection, the construction of resource-saving and environmentally friendly society.
Fourth, we insist on promoting the coordinated development of economy and society. Social development and economic development are closely related. By continuing to improve the universal nine-year compulsory education, vigorously developing high school education and vocational education, and striving to upgrade the scale and level of higher education, we will improve the education level of the whole population and the level of training of innovative talents, so as to provide human resources for development. Actively expanding employment through entrepreneurship for all and the development of the private economy, supporting the employment and entrepreneurship of laborers, and enhancing the economic vitality of society as a whole. Through adjusting the pattern of income distribution, increase the income of middle- and low-income earners, and create a good social environment conducive to mobilizing hard-working people to become rich. By accelerating the improvement of the social security system, we will effectively address the minimum subsistence guarantee for low-income people in urban and rural areas. By strengthening the construction of urban and rural medical insurance systems, improve the health level and physical quality of the entire population. In short, economic development should be used to promote social programs focusing on people's livelihood, improve people's living standards, and provide spiritual impetus and intellectual support for accelerating economic development and social progress.
