Development is the first priority of governing and rejuvenating the country, and leading economic and social development with development planning is an important way for the party to govern the country, and an important feature of China's state system and national governance system. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has always adhered to the development plan to promote the integration of the strategic layout, strategic resources and strategic forces of the "88 Strategy", which has played an important guiding role in the comprehensive development of the provincial economy and society and the systematic improvement of the provincial governance capacity.
Focusing on the requirements of "continuously improving the socialist market economy system" in the "88 Strategy", the development plan of our province has always adhered to reform and innovation, and led the promising and effective market to work together. The "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" of our province proposes to "put reform in a more prominent position and promote a new round of higher level of economic and social development in Zhejiang with a new round of reform". The subsequent three five-year development plans, from the construction of an institutional mechanism to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode, to promote the establishment of an institutional mechanism to lead the new normal of economic development, and then to accelerate the construction of a dynamic market economy system and mechanism, Zhejiang has always adhered to the two-way promotion of the market and the market, and focused on leveraging and leading the all-round reform with its own reform, the reform is more systematic and comprehensive, and the advantages of the market economy system are becoming more and more prominent. Today, the total assets, net assets, annual operating income and total profits of state-owned enterprises in Zhejiang rank among the top in the country, and the number of private enterprises selected into the list of China's top 500 private enterprises ranks first in the country, and Zhejiang has become one of the provinces with the best business environment in the country.
