The county-level investment competitiveness is an important indicator of the high-quality development of the county-level economy.

On November 7, the CCID Consulting's Research Center on County Economies released the 2023 report on China's top 100 counties with investment competitiveness. Changsha County ranked 8th, and other four Hunan county-level cities on the list included Ningxiang, Liuyang, Liling, and Shaodong, ranking 19th, 22nd, 47th, and 79th, respectively.

The research report developed an evaluation system on county-level investment competitiveness from five aspects, including government service ability, investment vitality, factor attraction, infrastructure support, and ecological environment. China's top 100 counties with investment competitiveness were selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of 1,864 counties or county-level cities nationwide.

In 2022, Changsha County achieved a GDP of 211.4 billion yuan. As the first county in the central and western regions of China to surpass 200 billion yuan, Changsha County has comprehensively promoted the "Business Environment Improvement Year" initiative. The county has focused on over 30 reform tasks, enhanced efficiency, improved services, and strengthened supervision, aiming to create an upgraded business environment (4.0 version) with faster approval, lower costs, better services, and higher efficiency and to develop a favorable area for investment and entrepreneurship.
