"Four Ones" stimulates the vitality of private investment.
According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the national investment in fixed assets (excluding rural households) will 503036 billion yuan, an increase of 3% over the previous year. Among them, the private investment in fixed assets was 253544 billion yuan, down 04%, the decline was 0 narrower than that from January to November1 percentage point. Excluding investment in real estate development, private investment increased by 92%。
Private investment accounts for a relatively high proportion of the total investment in fixed assets and is an important material basis for the development of the private economy. Meng Wei said at the briefing that last year, the state issued a special notice and put forward 17 targeted measures to mobilize the enthusiasm of private investment; This year, we will focus on the "four ones", that is, make good use of a new platform, build a project library, implement a new mechanism, and unblock a good channel, and strive to further stimulate the vitality of private investment through the "four ones".
It is reported that in July 2023, the state issued the "Notice on Further Promoting Private Investment and Striving to Mobilize the Enthusiasm of Private Investment", which put forward 17 specific measures from four aspects: clarifying work objectives, focusing on key areas, improving the guarantee mechanism, and creating a good environment.

Second, we should build a project library and increase support for key non-governmental investment projects. From the key private investment projects in various places, a number of projects that meet the policy requirements, have a large investment scale, and are highly demonstrative will be selected on a regular basis, and included in the national key private investment project database.

The market access and exit system is approaching.
Marketization, rule of law, and internationalization are all important components of the construction of a first-class business environment, and the three aspects complement each other. However, in order to truly achieve a breakthrough, we should put marketization in the first place, and only by achieving a breakthrough in marketization can we better stimulate the vitality and creativity of market players, enhance the endogenous power and resilience of economic development, and also help to force the government to streamline and delegate power, optimize services, and improve administrative efficiency. Zhu Keli, executive director of the China Information Association and founding president of the National Research Institute of New Economy, told a reporter from Beijing Business Daily.

Focusing on the change of enterprise information, the cancellation of enterprise registration, and the linkage of licenses and licenses, we will effectively improve the sense of gain and satisfaction of business entities.
