Abstract

This paper examines the policy support system for the development of Shanghai’s non-public economy. It reorganises evidence from a bachelor’s thesis through a document-based assessment of 20 national and Shanghai policy documents, with emphasis on measures issued or updated from 2020 onward. The documents are classified into four interrelated domains: business-environment reform, tax and fee relief, financing support, and innovation capability. The analysis finds a broadly integrated policy architecture. Administrative streamlining, digital government services, targeted fiscal measures, credit enhancement, inclusive finance, and innovation incentives together aim to lower operating costs and improve market access. However, the support system remains uneven in practice. Policy supply is fragmented across departments, information and application procedures can exclude smaller firms, and financing and innovation support do not always align with firms’ different stages of development. The paper therefore recommends a coordinated policy framework, demand-led policy design, a unified and interpretable policy database, and stronger service and feedback mechanisms for small and medium-sized enterprises. These measures would improve the accessibility, coherence, and implementation quality of support for Shanghai’s non-public economy.
