As companies from all over the country resume work, people are concerned about the epidemic and what impact the epidemic will have on Jiangsu’s economy. The reporter interviewed Liu Zhibiao, dean of the Yangtze River Industrial Economics Research Institute of Nanjing University. He believes that the impact of the epidemic on Jiangsu's manufacturing industry may be greater than the service industry. The recent supportive policies that have been promulgated by various localities are a "life buoy" that the government has thrown at enterprises, and these policies still need to be implemented. A series of policies provide companies with a "life-saving platform", which can improve the probability of survival for companies in difficult situations. Small and medium-sized enterprises should start construction as soon as possible after the epidemic prevention work is done to "self-help" to tide over the difficulties. Liu Zhibiao also suggested that the next step is to implement the New Deal according to the specific situation of the company, implement precise policies, and effectively maintain the bottom line for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and create a good external development environment.
