Secondly, warehousing and logistics, free flow of materials in the free trade zone, large logistics is an important hand of the Optics Valley Free Trade Zone, the relevant warehousing and logistics enterprises, will be very obvious favorable points.
Again, it is likely to get relaxed financial leasing industry, as well as the introduction of the demand to go out of the enterprise, there will be a lot of policy benefits.

? Provide more high-end employment opportunities?
How will the arrival of the FTZ change the lives of Wuhan citizens?
Chen Bo said that if the FTZ reforms really release dividends, then it creates a good business environment that will attract more Chinese and foreign enterprises to settle here, especially Hubei enterprises, more willing to come to the FTZ to develop and grow. The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, which is the newest addition to the list, which is the newest addition to the list.
Secondly, the FTZ's measures on cross-border e-commerce and customs supervision facilitation will make it easier and faster for consumers to obtain international goods at lower prices.

Wuhan University Professor Zou Wei:
Hubei will usher in a large wave of reform dividends
After more than three years of waiting, Hubei FTZ finally officially listed. What does this mean for Hubei, how should enterprises and organizations seize the opportunity? Yesterday, the reporter conducted an interview with Wuhan University professor Zou Wei. She said, Hubei FTZ after the listing, not only the accelerated opening of trade, ? After the listing of the FTZ, Hubei will usher in a large wave of reform dividends?
Hubei stepped into the forefront of the country's reform and opening up
Zou Wei said, the seven provinces of the FTZ listed at the same time, is the FTZ listing of the 3.0 version, but also the inland area for the first time to set up a FTZ. As the first inland pilot FTZ provinces, this means that the development of Hubei into the forefront of the reform and opening up stage, but also included in the core of the national strategic layout.
Compared to other provinces, Hubei FTZ has a special historical mission.

Double Self-Linked National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, National Free Trade Zone; Yichang, Xiangyang, as one of the pilot areas of the FTZ, and at the same time as a provincial sub-center city, it is appropriate and Hubei? One main and two vice? Regional development strategy combined.
Four innovations to create Hubei characteristics of the FTZ

Innovation, enhance the level of public **** management, and advance Hubei's economic development to a new height; second is to further promote Hubei's degree of opening up to the outside world based on trade, including the opening up of overseas export trade, but also the opening up of Hubei with other provinces; third is to promote the acceleration of financial and investment innovations, for example, to further encourage domestic and foreign banks, insurance and other financial institutions to set up branches in the FTZ, so that the Chinese and foreign enterprises will be more convenient in matters such as financing and domestic and foreign exchange settlements; the fourth is to strengthen the combination of financial innovation and technological innovation. The fourth is to strengthen the combination of financial innovation and technological innovation, because financial innovation needs to be combined with the real economy, the formation of a good pattern of interaction between financial and real economic capacity.

In this regard, Ye Xueping suggested that each area can further play the advantages of the area to achieve differentiated development. For example, Wuhan Optics Valley, as the main pilot area of the FTZ, which itself is a national demonstration zone of independent innovation, should highlight the advantages and characteristics of intelligent manufacturing, Internet big data, biopharmaceuticals and other areas to form a stronger competitiveness, and become a high-end talent, financial capital, technology and information accumulation of the innovation highland; Xiangyang Yichang and other places can continue to highlight the advantages in high-end equipment manufacturing.
