Lianbo+ On the afternoon of February 23, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the fourth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Committee to study the issue of large-scale equipment updates and trade-in of consumer goods, and to study the issue of effectively reducing logistics costs for the whole society. How to implement it well, do a good job in relevant work, and improve the efficiency of economic operation? CCTV’s “Lianbo+” explains it for you.
Encourage and guide a new round of large-scale equipment updates
The Central Economic Work Conference in December 2023 proposed that “it is necessary to promote large-scale equipment updates and the replacement of old consumer goods with new ones, driven by improving technology, energy consumption, emission and other standards.” It can be seen that improving technical level, reducing energy consumption and reducing emissions are important directions for this round of equipment updating.
From December 11 to 12, 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference was held in Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.
The fourth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission proposed specific measures, emphasizing the need to implement a good policy mix to promote the continuous increase in the proportion of advanced production capacity, more high-quality durable consumer goods to enter residents’ lives, waste resources to be recycled, and the quality and level of the national economic cycle. A substantial increase. We must adhere to the market-oriented approach and government guidance, insist on encouraging the advanced and eliminating the backward, and adhere to the guidance of standards and orderly improvement.
In February 2023, nine departments including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Coordinating Energy Conservation, Carbon Reduction and Recycling to Accelerate the Updating and Transformation of Products and Equipment in Key Areas”. The first batch focused on boilers, motors, power transformers, refrigeration, and lighting. , household appliances and other 6 categories of product equipment, and the implementation guide for upgrading, transformation and recycling (2023 version) has been issued.
Zhu Min, director of the Institute of Information and Industrialization Integration of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said that a new round of large-scale technological transformation and equipment updates will help accelerate the large-scale promotion of intelligent manufacturing; intelligent equipment, intelligent products such as CNC machine tools and industrial robots It will also usher in new development opportunities and broad growth space, which will help accelerate the transformation and upgrading of key industries. High-end, smart, green and safety aspects will be the focus of future technological transformation and equipment updates.
Encourage the trade-in of traditional consumer goods such as cars and home appliances with new ones
This meeting pointed out that traditional consumer goods such as automobiles and home appliances should be encouraged to trade in old ones for new ones, and durable consumer goods should be promoted to trade in old ones for new ones. Promote large-scale recycling and strengthen the “replacement + recycling” logistics system and the development of new models. When replacing old consumer goods with new ones, it is necessary to adhere to the linkage between the central finance and local governments to coordinate and support all links of the entire chain to benefit more consumers.
Consumption is the main engine for stable economic growth and a key link in smooth domestic circulation. The Ministry of Commerce has designated 2024 as the “Consumption Promotion Year”. Promoting the replacement of old cars and home appliances with new ones is the focus of promoting consumption this year. According to statistics, in 2023, there will be about 336 million cars in my country, and more than 3 billion home appliances in major categories such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. Some home appliances have been in use for a long time and consume large amounts of energy, so there is great demand and potential for replacement. .
In many places, a series of consumption-promoting activities will be included in the 2024 government work report. Shanxi proposes to boost the consumption of bulk products such as new energy vehicles, home appliances, and electronic products, and increase the promotion and application of methanol vehicles. Chongqing proposed to boost the consumption of bulk products and improve the implementation of consumption promotion policies such as new energy vehicles, electronic products, smart homes, and green building materials. Guangdong proposes to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles, electronic products, home appliances and other bulk products, promote the replacement of old consumer goods with new ones, and cultivate and develop key enterprises in trade and circulation.
Yi Shaohua, director of the Market Circulation and Consumption Research Office of the Institute of Financial Strategy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the physical consumption field of my country’s residents is in a stage of improving quality. The trade-in of consumer goods can, on the one hand, stimulate market investment and promote investment in new products and new consumer goods. On the one hand, it can also better meet the potential needs of residents’ consumption.
Effectively reduce logistics costs for the whole society
Logistics connects production on one end and consumption on the other. It is an important part of the modern industrial system. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at this meeting that “it is necessary to effectively reduce the logistics costs of the whole society”, aiming to “enhance the core competitiveness of the industry and improve the efficiency of economic operation”.
How to effectively reduce logistics costs for the whole society? The meeting proposed three main lines: First, optimize the transportation structure, strengthen “road-to-rail” and “road-to-water”, deepen the reform of the comprehensive transportation system, and form a unified, efficient, competitive and orderly logistics market. The second is to optimize the main corridors, clear up congestion points, improve the modern commercial circulation system, and encourage the development of new logistics models that combine platform economy, low-altitude economy, autonomous driving, etc. The third is to coordinate the planning of logistics hubs, optimize the construction of transportation infrastructure and the layout of major productivity, and vigorously develop the airport economy and port economy.
In recent years, my country’s modern logistics development has achieved positive results, service quality and efficiency have significantly improved, and social logistics costs have steadily declined. In 2023, the ratio of my country’s total social logistics costs to GDP will be 14.4%, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from 2022.
Ma Hong, a professor at the Department of Economics at the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, said that reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the logistics industry will help promote the smooth flow of commodity factor resources in a wider range, promote industrial structure adjustment and coordinated regional development, and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain can be better Optimize the layout based on regional endowments and institutional conditions to promote agglomeration economies and economies of scale, as well as the formation of intelligence and digitalization; promoting the integration of industries will also promote the formation of a unified national market and improve the overall operating efficiency of the national economy.
Currently, my country’s economic recovery is still at a critical stage. Implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee to the letter, accelerating product upgrading, and promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the logistics industry will help continuously release the potential of domestic demand and continue to consolidate and enhance the positive economic recovery trend.
