The Jingjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone – a national development zone located in Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province – has made major progress in its development, according to statistics released by the Ministry of Commerce recently.
The zone was ranked 110 among 217 national economic and development zones in China in the past year – 31 places higher than in 2021.
The assessment system involves a total of 30 indicators in five categories: opening up, sci-tech innovation, green development, coordination and the quality of development.
Nearly half of the indicators in the Jingjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone were better than the average for State-level economic and development zones.
The zone signed 151 new projects last year that were over 100 million yuan ($14.67 million), with a total investment of 47 billion yuan.
Moreover, two projects were selected as national key foreign investment projects and four were recognized as provincial-level major projects.
Moving forwards, plans are for the Jingjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone to account for more than 80 percent of Jingjiang city – in terms of key economic indicators such as industrial sales, service sales, fixed asset investment and actual utilization of foreign capital.
