Report: Central government plays crucial role in promoting Tibet´s economy

Investment from the government plays a significant role in Tibet's economic development. In other words, investment in Tibet is largely decided by the central government, it said.

To offset the disadvantages that the market system could have, governments at all levels in Tibet earmarked more funds to promote a fair development for all farmers in the region.

To guarantee that farmers and herdsmen enjoy complete employment rights, the government of the Tibet Autonomous Region stipulated that civil engineering projects funded by the government should recruit at least one third of their workers from among farmers and herdsmen in all working posts for which they are competent.

Since Chinese Caterpillar Fungus, a rare health food, has become an important source of income for Tibet's farmers and herdsmen with its soaring prices, the government soon granted the right to pick Chinese Caterpillar Fungus to local farmers and herdsmen.

The regulation not only protected the resources and immediate interests of farmers and herdsmen, but also ensured that the Fungus was picked in an orderly manner, the report said.
