People's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions under the State Council, and institutions directly under the State Council:

The State Council attaches great importance to the development of the service industry. In recent years, guidance on the development of living services such as family, elderly care, health and cultural creativity has been successively issued, and the scale and quality of service supply have been significantly improved. At the same time, the development of producer services is relatively lagging behind, the level is not high, the structure is unreasonable and other problems are prominent, which need to be accelerated. Productive service industry involves many links in agriculture, industry and other industries. It is characterized by strong specialization, active innovation, high industrial integration, and significant driving effect. It is the strategic commanding height of global industrial competition. Accelerating the development of producer services is a major measure to drive structural adjustment and promote stable economic growth. It can not only effectively stimulate the potential of domestic demand, drive the expansion of social employment, and continuously improve people's lives, but also help guide the industry to the high-end of the value chain. In order to accelerate the development of producer services in key areas and further promote the adjustment and upgrading of industrial structure, the following suggestions are put forward:
