Especially since 2015, economic growth has faced unprecedented pressure. The economic growth of infrastructure construction is not sustainable. Therefore, in the long run, it is necessary to enhance the sustained growth of economic growth through industrial upgrading and urban-rural development. It is necessary to develop the county economy and the province's economic transformation and upgrade the love base, net worth, information and overall consideration, and build a “government” in improving financial support. The “four-in-one” model of optimizing the environment, financial policy guidelines, fiscal policy orientation, and financial institution transformation forms a sustained driving force to support county economic development.

(1) Optimize the financial ecological environment and increase the level of financial credit protection. On the one hand, in order to improve the financial support for the county economy, it is necessary to optimize the county's financial ecological environment and gradually increase the economy's ability to absorb financial resources. To build and optimize a good financial ecological environment is to give full play to the government's leading coordination function and create a good financial resource input environment for financial institutions. At the same time, continue to increase credit promotion efforts, in-depth evaluation of credit townships, credit villages, credit enterprises, and credit users, and establish a model of honesty and trustworthiness; on the other hand, relevant departments of county local governments should actively cooperate with financial institutions to collect debts. Assist financial institutions to do a good job in collecting loans according to law, and increase the crackdown on malicious escape of financial debts, create a good legal environment for financial institutions to increase financial resources investment, and enhance the enthusiasm of financial institutions to support county economic development.

First, through differentiated regulatory policies, mobilize financial institutions to support the county economy, and promote financial resources to the county economy. The second is to strengthen the comprehensive application of policy guidelines and policy tools, continue to strengthen window guidance, increase the comprehensive use of monetary policy tools such as supporting agricultural refinancing, small loans and poverty alleviation loans, and guide financial institutions to increase economic development of the county. Credit support. The third is to build a financial system that is compatible with the county economy at the present stage, and promote financial institutions to set up institutions specializing in small and medium-sized enterprises, private and individual economic retail businesses, strengthen the function of state-owned commercial banks and joint-stock commercial banks to serve the county economy, and accelerate the rural credit cooperatives. The reform of the management system enhances its comprehensive strength in supporting county economic development.

(3) Give play to the role of financial guidance and improve the county's financial infrastructure. First, it adopts various methods such as financial support for agricultural investment and private capital intervention to establish a county credit guarantee company, implement effective guarantee models such as centralized guarantee, decentralized use, limit guarantee, and turnover use, and develop micro-insurance products that are compatible with it. . The second is to exert the combined efforts of fiscal and financial policies to enhance the implementation of financial preferential policies. Increase financial subsidies for county economic development, especially for financial loans such as agricultural loan interest subsidies and small and micro enterprise loan guarantees, to create more entry points for financial support. The third is to increase tax reductions and exemptions for agriculture-related financial services, and to increase the enthusiasm of financial institutions to support agriculture and serve county economic development. For the local financial institutions that use a certain percentage of deposits in the county to meet the local loan standards, a more favorable tax rate will be implemented, and the agriculture-related financial business will be included in the VAT deduction scope, and the guiding role of fiscal and taxation policies will be effectively exerted.

(4) Build an incentive and restraint mechanism to accelerate the transformation of financial institutions' operating methods. The first is to accurately position the market. Financial institutions should change their business concepts, constantly adjust their market positioning in county economic development, increase support for county economic entities, and continuously expand funding sources for rural infrastructure and agricultural industrialization projects. The second is to improve the incentive and restraint mechanism. On the basis of improving the loan risk constraint mechanism, financial institutions should actively study and formulate incentive mechanisms for loan marketing and improve the level of county financial services. The third is to decentralize the approval authority to the county agency. According to the actual situation of the county economy, the unincorporated financial institutions should appropriately decentralize the credit approval authority and expand the authorization credit to the county-level institutions, and broaden the county fund operation space and the county economic development financing channels. The fourth is to increase financial product innovation, develop financing tools suitable for county economic characteristics, and increase the pertinence and effectiveness of supporting county economic development.
