Development And Reform Commission: Will Improve The Formation Mechanism Of Refined Oil Prices

Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, said yesterday at the 2011 summer Davos forum "China 12th Five-Year plan" sub forum that practice has proved that formulating economic development plan from China's national conditions is an effective way to guide national economic development.

The contents and themes of the planning will change with the development of China.

He also said that the NDRC is studying the improvement of the pricing mechanism for refined oil products.

Will improve

Zhang Xiaoqiang pointed out that the "12th Five-Year plan" laid special stress on accelerating the pformation of the mode of economic development as the main line, which is the most outstanding feature of the 12th Five-Year plan.

The new five year plan is instructive and guiding. Therefore, some restrictive indicators are put forward for some important indicators related to people's livelihood and quality of development, such as binding on energy conservation and emission reduction.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said that the reform and Development Commission is studying and promoting the further reform of the price system, including the reform of resource prices and the improvement of the pricing mechanism of refined oil products.

"Through the establishment of specific operational plans to put these reforms into practice, and further expand our opening up and raise the level of opening up, we will achieve many goals in the 12th Five-Year plan."

The marketization reform of refined oil prices has always been the focus of attention.

At the end of May this year, the State Council approved the NDRC's notice on deepening the reform of the economic system in 2011, and proposed that the price reform of resource products should be promoted as the focus of this year's economic restructuring.

The top priority is to actively promote the marketization of refined oil prices.

Lian Qihua, deputy director of the development and Reform Commission, also pointed out that the new product pricing mechanism and the pricing reform of resource products such as step price will be launched in the year.

The pricing mechanism of refined oil will be further improved according to domestic resources and international market.

According to the relevant drafts issued by the NDRC to major domestic oil companies, the interval of refined oil price adjustment will be shortened to 10 days from the current month, and the pricing power of refined oil will be decentralized.

There is no real estate or car consumption.

Zhang Xiaoqiang also pointed out that in terms of real estate and automobiles, there is no consumption restriction in China's overall policy at present.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said that the main reason for the government's regulation of real estate is that the price of real estate is too high, making a large number of people who want to buy a house unable to buy.

Through the current regulation, high housing prices or excessive housing prices will be suppressed, so that more consumers can afford housing and afford housing.

This is the basic starting point of the government's current round of regulation and control.

"As for automobile consumption, in some cities, such as Beijing, Yaohao is used to buy cars, which is really a restriction.

But from the whole country, there is no such a general policy to restrict automobile consumption.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said, on the one hand, the long chain of automobile industry involves many enterprises' development and employment, and can not be easily restricted. But on the other hand, more cars will cause energy consumption and environmental pollution.

Therefore, at present, the government's general policy is "bus priority, encouraging people to buy more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly cars".

Zhang Xiaoqiang said, "the rational use of vehicles" is the focus of the government's current advocacy.

"Beijing's recent experience in drawing lessons from London has raised the standard of parking fees in busy areas, and has achieved certain results. This is a direction to guide the rational use of cars."
