Investment: Promoting Structural Reform Of Supply Side In Investment Field

The dynamics of the national development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has always attracted much attention, especially during the two sessions of the 13th Five-Year opening year.

Following the NDRC's special press conference held in March 6th, in the morning of March 14th, the NDRC held a monthly regular theme press conference. It made a detailed introduction and intersection of economic restructuring, investment, health care reform, resolving excess capacity and three major strategies.

While increasing the supply side structural reform in the investment field, the NDRC emphasized again on the capacity targets of the two industries of steel and coal during the "13th Five-Year" period.

Economic restructuring: comprehensive upgrading of pmission and distribution tariff reform

In terms of economic restructuring, the NDRC focused on two items at this press conference.

First, the negative list system reform of market access.

Admittance negative list system reform pilot work started in January 1, 2016, in Tianjin, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong 4 start.

Zhao Chenxin, deputy director of the research and development department and spokesman of the NDRC, revealed that the draft "market access negative list" (compiled by the Ministry of Commerce and development) and the Ministry of Commerce in conjunction with the relevant departments has been approved and will be issued in the near future.

At the same time, the overall plan for the pilot area is being submitted to the State Council for examination and approval.

The two is the reform of electric power system.

On the basis of the 6 provincial power grid pilot projects in 2015, the NDRC will include the power grids and the North China regional power grids in the 12 provincial power grids in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangdong and Guangxi in 2016 and the North China regional power grid in the national power system reform pilot area.

Zhao Chenxin pointed out that after the expansion of the pilot area, it will cover 18 provincial power grids and 1 regional power grids, marking the overall speed up of China's pmission and distribution tariff reform.

Investment: promoting structural reform of supply side in investment field

A few days ago, Xu Kunlin, director of the investment division of the national development and Reform Commission, said that investment is still a driving force for steady growth in the "three carriages" driving economic development.

Xu Kunlin believes that when consumption is relatively constant and export situation is more complicated, the key to steady growth is investment. "In some infrastructure areas, investment in China is still short board."

In this regard, Zhao Chenxin stressed at yesterday's press conference that the next step will be in accordance with the central plan, "accelerating the structural reform of supply side in the investment field", improving investment effectiveness, and maintaining effective investment. In particular, efforts should be made to supplement short boards and adjust the structure, so as to promote the development of new kinetic energy and play a role of "one stone, three birds".

In February, the NDRC approved and approved 15 fixed asset investment projects, with a total investment of 34 billion 100 million yuan.

Among them, 5 water projects, a total investment of 4 billion 400 million yuan, 3 energy projects, a total investment of 23 billion 700 million yuan, 1 industrial projects, a total investment of 4 billion 700 million yuan, 5 high-tech projects, a total investment of 1 billion yuan, 1 other projects, investment 300 million yuan.

These projects are mainly concentrated in the fields of water conservancy, energy and high technology.

In the first 2 months of this year, fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) was 3 trillion and 800 billion yuan, an increase of 10.2% over the same period last year, an increase of 0.2 percentage points over the full investment growth rate in 2015.

"Changing the trend of continuous decline in investment growth since last year has laid a good foundation for expanding reasonable and effective investment and promoting the steady economic growth of the whole year."

Zhao Chenxin said.

Health care reform: deepening reform and resolving irrational drug prices

In view of the unreasonable price of drugs, Zhao Chenxin pointed out that we should take practical measures to strengthen market supervision, and further deepen the reform of medical and health system.

First, we should break away from drugs to supplement doctors and establish a mechanism of self-restraint for medical institutions.

From the mechanism, the means of profit from medical institutions can be pformed into the cost of providing services by medical institutions, while fully expanding the right of patients to choose medicines independently.

Two is to play the role of medical insurance control fees, and guide the rational formation of market prices.

We should speed up the reform of payment methods and carry out payment according to disease types, headcount, service units and payment by disease diagnosis.

Three, we should reform the bidding procurement mechanism and mobilize the initiative of medical institutions to reduce prices voluntarily.

It is necessary to allow public hospitals to purchase individually or in groups, establish an Internet platform for direct pactions between hospitals and production enterprises, and carry out procurement work in accordance with the principles of integration of recruitment and production, volume and price linkage, sign procurement contracts and strictly enforce them.

Four, we should strengthen supervision over drug production and operation and rectify the order of production and circulation.

We should further improve the regulatory system, improve the regulatory capacity, and strengthen the quality management of the whole process of drugs.

Five is to strengthen the supervision of price behavior and maintain market price order.

We should establish an omnibearing and multi-level price supervision mechanism and improve the price monitoring system.

Resolve excess capacity: "13th Five-Year" to reduce steel and coal production capacity over 100 million tons

At the press conference, the NDRC focused on two industries, steel and coal.

During the period, the specific capacity of production was explained again.

On the basis of the elimination of backward steel production capacity in recent years, since 2016, steel has been reduced to 100 million to 1.5 million tons of crude steel production capacity in 5 years.

At the same time, we pointed out that we should focus on promoting the structural reform of the supply side of the steel industry, comprehensively applying the market mechanism, economic means and the rule of law, adjust measures to local conditions, implement classified policies and tackle problems simultaneously, actively and steadily resolve excess capacity, and establish a long-term mechanism for market regulation of production capacity, so as to promote the structural optimization of iron and steel industry, upgrade difficulties, upgrade quality and increase efficiency.

In terms of coal production capacity, we must adhere to market forces, enterprise bodies, local organizations and central government support, take comprehensive measures, treat both symptoms and root causes, adjust measures to local conditions and classify disposal. We will actively and steadily resolve excess capacity and structural adjustment, pformation and upgrading, so as to realize the coal industry's turning losses, lifting difficulties, upgrading and healthy development.

Based on the elimination of backward coal production capacity in recent years, starting from 2016, it will take 3 to 5 years to quit production capacity of about 5 billion tons, and reduce the amount of restructuring by 5 billion tons.

Zhao Chenxin revealed that next step, the NDRC will elaborate specific policies and measures with relevant departments and units, do a good job in implementing relevant work, and strive to win the tough battle to resolve excess capacity.
