The National Development and Reform Commission recently released the "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouraged Industries Catalog (Revised Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft"). The "Exposure Draft" of the "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouragement Industry Catalog (2020 this)" was revised, in the original 14 key industries based on the classification, sub-division of the industry from the original 143 expanded to 171. In this regard, Bank of China Hainan Financial Research Institute senior researcher Wang Shaohui said that the free trade port encourages industry catalog expansion, the leading industries will welcome more space for development.

Wang Shaohui believes that the "Exposure Draft" in the "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouragement Industry Catalog (2020 this year)" based on further expansion for the development of leading industries in Hainan Free Trade Port provides more space. It is understood that in the "overall program for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port", the construction of a modern industrial system is an important part of the system design, and through preferential tax arrangements to give special support to the registration in Hainan Free Trade Port and substantive operation of the encouraged industries enterprises, reduced by 15% of the corporate income tax. 2021 announced the "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouragement of Industry Directory (2020 this year)" for the Hainan The "Directory of Encouraged Industries in Hainan Free Trade Port (2020 Edition)" published in 2021 provides an important guideline for the direction of industrial investment in Hainan's free trade port, investment project management, and industrial development policy formulation, and is the basic basis for enjoying the tax incentives of Hainan's free trade port. The position of the "main force" of Hainan's economic development is becoming more and more prominent.

Wang Shaohui introduced, "Exposure Draft" is still using the "national existing directory + regional new directory" structure, including the national existing industrial directory, "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Directory", "Encourage foreign investment in industrial directory" in the encouragement of industrial and Hainan Free Trade Port new encouragement of industrial two parts, industrial classification is still the same as the current "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouragement Class Industry Directory", and the "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouragement Class Industry Directory" is still the same as the "Hainan Free Trade Port". The industrial classification is still consistent with the current "Hainan Free Trade Port Encouraged Industries Catalog", and maintains the 14 major industrial classifications that cover the key industries and fields of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. But in the sub-division of industry, from the original 143 expansion to 171, new industries are mainly concentrated in the manufacturing industry, transportation, warehousing and postal services, scientific research and technology services, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, information transmission, software and information technology services, water conservancy, environment and public facilities management industry and other major industry classifications. Moreover, the "Exposure Draft" is particularly new and optimized industries under the manufacturing industry, involving general equipment (new energy production of special vehicles) manufacturing, offshore wind power operation and maintenance, optoelectronic technology and product development and manufacturing, such as the expansion and optimization of 18 industries, reflecting the twentieth report put forward by the "promote the new type of industrialization, accelerate the construction of a strong manufacturing country "Requirements in Hainan Free Trade Port industrial policy for further landing.

In Wang Shaohui's view, the "Exposure Draft" highlights the encouragement of high-end, intelligent, green and low-carbon industrial development direction, to cultivate new industrial development momentum to reserve space.

In promoting the development of strategic emerging industries, increased optoelectronics technology and product manufacturing research and development, new energy storage technology development and equipment manufacturing, 8 MW and above offshore wind turbine technology development and equipment manufacturing, seawater desalination technology and equipment research and development, the use of satellites to provide a series of communication transmission of application service technology research and development, language technology development and application of industry, to support the development of Hainan's high-tech industries.

In the play of characteristic advantages to achieve green low-carbon transformation, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries under the category of new aquaculture tail water management, agricultural input waste resource utilization, agricultural and agricultural light complementary industries such as integrated development of industry and agriculture, fully embodies the combination of the free trade port industrial characteristics, natural resources characteristics of the ecological agricultural development direction; offshore wind power operation and maintenance, marine carbon sinks, geological carbon sinks, new energy vehicles power Offshore wind power operation and maintenance, marine carbon sink, geological carbon sink engineering, new energy automobile power battery laddering utilization products and technological development of new encouragement industries contribute to energy conservation and environmental protection, circular economy, comprehensive utilization of resources.

In terms of digital industrial transformation, the new urban intelligent parking facilities operation, intelligent parking system technology development and operation, digital highway and intelligent transportation technology research and development, new energy vehicle charging and switching infrastructure and intelligent system technology development and operation and other encouraged industries, is conducive to the optimization of the modern infrastructure system, and to promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.

Wang Shaohui believes that the "Exposure Draft" superimposed on the advantages of the FTTP policy and system, to promote Hainan FTTP to create a major intersection of domestic and international dual-cycle. As of August 2023, the number of market business entities in Hainan exceeded 3.2 million, with the growth rate ranking first in the country for 42 consecutive months. "In accelerating the construction of a new development pattern based on the domestic macrocycle as the main body, the domestic and international double cycle to promote each other, in the situation of the FTTP port sealing operation preparations to speed up the situation, the Exposure Draft expansion and optimization is conducive to enhancing the gathering effect of industrial development in Hainan's FTTP port, attracting more industrial subjects at home and abroad to move into the area." Wang Shaohui said.
