Fujian is set to create a more efficient and law-based business environment for enterprises from home and abroad in the province, pledged Tang Dengjie, governor of Fujian Provincial People's Government.

Tang made the remarks on Tuesday when answering questions from reporters during the ongoing national legislative session.

According to Tang, Fujian's gross domestic product (GDP) jumped from nearly 2 trillion yuan to 3.2 trillion yuan($510.8 billion)over the past five years, registered an average annual growth of 9.3 percent and outpaced the national growth rate of 7.1 percent.

The province's fast economic growth in 2016 ranked it among the top 10 provinces and regions in the country in GDP for the first time. Meanwhile, the government's general public revenue also increased by 53 percent over that five-year period.

All these statistics fully reflect the increasingly favorable business climate in Fujian, said the governor.

He noted that Fujian, not resting on its laurels, intends to cut more red tape and enhance efficiency of government services through electronic information technologies, finally enabling locals to enjoy the services just with the click of a mouse.
