開放先導

　　武漢是國家首批沿江對外開放的城市之一，一直是外商投資中西部的熱點地區和首選城市之一。武漢堅持“開放先導”戰略，一大批樞紐性、功能性基礎設施相繼建成並投入使用，極大地提升了城市綜合服務功能。同時，從轉變政府職能入手，對外來企業實行“一條龍”聯合辦公制度、市長對話會制度、受理投訴制度、投資環境責任制度等等，投資環境日益改善。 2005 年，外商投資繼續保持強勁增長勢頭，全市新批合同外資額 19.89 億美元，增長 65.6 ％，實際利用外資 17.47 億美元，增長 14.5 ％。世界 500 強企業已有 60 家在漢投資，另有 300 多家跨國公司在漢設立了辦事處，其中地區性、區域性總部達到 100 余家。
