河北省的广平县,深居内地,既无矿产资源,又不靠近“三沿”,交通不便,信息闭塞,知名度低,经济基础比较薄弱,缺乏对外开放、发展外向型经济的基本条件。但是就是这样一个内陆小县,在短短两年多的时间里,大力推进对外开放,积极争上外资项目,使外向型经济有了较快发展。截止今年6月底,全县共签订利用外资项目合同29个,总投资3606.7万美元,合同利用外资1047.7万美元。目前,已有21个项目领取了营业执照,19个项目落实或基本落实了资金,10个项目建成投产。今年1—6月份,外资企业已完成产值8602万元,实现利税541.8万元,出口创汇333万美元,分别占全县乡以上工业企业产 Guangping County in Hebei Province is deeply located in the interior. It neither has mineral resources nor is close to the “three rims”. It is inconvenient for traffic, obstructs information, has a low reputation, and has a relatively weak economic foundation. It lacks the basic conditions for opening up and developing an export-oriented economy. However, such a small inland county has vigorously promoted opening up to the outside world in a short span of two years and actively competed for foreign-funded projects, making the export-oriented economy develop faster. As of the end of June this year, the county signed a total of 29 foreign capital project contracts with a total investment of 360.67 million U.S. dollars and contracted foreign capital of 10.477 million U.S. dollars. At present, 21 projects have received business licenses, 19 projects have implemented or basically implemented funds, and 10 projects have been completed and put into production. From January to June this year, foreign-funded enterprises have completed output value of 86,200,000 yuan, realized profits and taxes of 5.418 million yuan, and earned foreign exchange of 3.33 million US dollars, which accounted for the production of industrial enterprises in the county or above.
