First, about the historical comparable caliber:

1, historically comparable caliber, that is to say, according to the old caliber. What is the significance of price changes not mentioned in Baidu's entry in statistics?

2, the old caliber is the statistical method used by the Ministry of Commerce. Simply put, the statistics of the amount of foreign investment is based on the total investment of the project (for joint ventures, the foreign investment part). The new standard is based on the registered capital (foreign capital) of the project. The reason why the registered capital should be taken as the standard is that the registered capital has more standardized procedural guarantee, which can objectively reflect the actual utilization of foreign capital and help reduce the international adverse impact caused by the high number of foreign investment in China.

3. As the registered capital is generally less than the total investment, the new caliber calculation will lead to a decrease in the amount of foreign capital utilized, which is disliked by many local governments and is not conducive to comparison with the previous ones. Therefore, local governments prefer the old statistical method, but it is generally interpreted as a historical comparable method. For the statistics of new caliber, the word "new caliber" is generally indicated.

Second, about the actual use of foreign capital.

The actual utilization of foreign capital is relative to the contractual utilization of foreign capital, total investment and registered foreign capital. These indicators are relatively loose, especially contractual foreign investment, which is often wet, and the real amount invested in the end is the actual capital in place. The funds actually received are real money and must be strictly verified by the relevant departments. Therefore, it can best reflect the utilization of foreign capital.
