Yi Xiaoguang, member of the CPPCC municipal committee and President of the Municipal Comprehensive Economic Research Institute, has been deeply involved in macroeconomic issues for a long time, and has profound views on the development of the pilot free trade zone. He believes that deepening the reform of customs clearance liberalization and facilitation of consumer goods is conducive to gathering international consumer resources, pooling consumer flows, attracting market players, and then improving the attractiveness and competitiveness of the city. it plays a very important supporting role for Chongqing to build an international consumption center city.

In July last year, the State Council approved Chongqing and other five cities to take the lead in the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities, placing high hopes on the development of Chongqing. Yi Xiaouguang believes that it is necessary for Chongqing to further tap the potential in the liberalization and facilitation of customs clearance to promote the construction of an international consumption center city. Specifically, we can start from four aspects: continuously optimizing the customs clearance and supervision process of goods, comprehensively strengthening the construction and application of information technology, improving the system of certified operators, and jointly building the logistics system of Chengdu-Chongqing port.
