HEFEI: Anhui Governor Wang Sanyun said attracting investment from home and abroad must be successful to push the province’s economic and social undertakings forward.
Speaking at the 10th executive meeting of Anhui provincial government on Tuesday here, he said the province attracted 136.39 billion yuan ($20.7 billion) from other areas on the Chinese mainland in the first quarter, an increase of 61.9 percent over the same period of last year. At the same time, the province approved 58 new foreign-invested enterprises in the province, a jump of 41.5 percent. Also, foreign businessmen actually injected $1.15 billion into Anhui in the first three months, a climb of 18.5 percent.
