Shanxi has continued to improve its business environment, further enhancing the level of convenience experienced by businesses and the public alike. 

From January to June, the time taken to handle pre-project procedures in the province's development zones was reduced by over 30 percent. 

Local governments at the district, county, and city level have also advanced the establishment of round-the-clock government service centers. Convenience service centers have been established in all 1,276 townships and sub-districts in the province. 

The province's integrated online government service platform has also achieved full coverage, from the provincial to village levels. Initial progress has also been made in implementing the interprovincial handling of 209 administrative services, including those related to medical insurance, social security, and the housing provident fund.
