"In the current century of great changes, China's economy from high-speed growth to high-quality development of the transition period, the market has a demand turning point, peak and other new situations, to this end, we must fully implement the new development concept, deepen the understanding of the law of development, economic law, population law, urbanization law, real estate law, steel market law and other six laws, Actively seize opportunities, avoid risks, seek development, and promote the high-quality development of the metallurgical industry." On May 10, Jia Yinsong, secretary-general of the Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce, made a keynote report at the dedicated high-quality Development Forum and the promotion meeting of wide and thick plates and cold products.

In the report, combined with the current economic development situation and relevant national policies, he talked about several views on promoting the high-quality development of the metallurgical industry.

Jia Yinsong recalled that since the 45th anniversary of reform and opening up, China's economy has enjoyed double-digit growth for more than 30 consecutive years, achieved leapfrog development of urbanization, industrialization and internationalization, and became the world's second largest economy, creating the Chinese "miracle". "In the context of great social development and rapid economic growth, supply and demand have shown a high level of dynamic balance spiral, and the cyclical and structural problems that have emerged are also insufficient to solve the quantity and achieve qualitative improvement in development." The steel industry is also growing in several cyclical and structural developments." "He said.

Jia Yinsong explained in detail several major policy orientations related to the current steel industry, and encouraged to actively seize opportunities and seek development.

First, the 20th National Congress established the development strategy of a modern country and put forward that "firmly grasping high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country." The industrial policy of the steel industry has also clarified the high-quality development goals, mainly including improving the ability to innovate and develop; Prohibit new steel production capacity; Optimize the industrial distribution structure; Promoting enterprise mergers and reorganizations; Orderly development of electric furnace steelmaking; Further promote green and low-carbon; Vigorously develop intelligent manufacturing; Significantly improve the quality of supply; Improve the ability to secure resources; Improve the intrinsic safety level; Maintain fair market order and other aspects.

Previously, the Central Economic Work Conference in 2020 proposed that we should firmly grasp the main line of supply-side structural reform and pay attention to demand-side management. "Demand side management" was first mentioned. "Supply-side structural reform and demand-side management are the two basic means of macroeconomic regulation in China." Jia Yinsong said that demand-side management focuses on solving aggregate problems and paying attention to short-term regulation; Supply-side structural reform focuses on solving structural problems and stimulating long-term growth drivers.

"At present, the supply and demand of the steel industry has entered the peak plateau period, and the proposal of 'promoting deep reform by high-level opening-up' indicates that the steel industry enterprises have reached the critical period of deep structural reform." Jia Yinsong said.

Third, this year's national two sessions have brought new opportunities to the development of the metallurgical industry - a high two new promote three chemical. "One high", that is, to high-quality development goals as the guidance; "Two new", that is, new quality productivity and new industrialization into the starting point, to increase new momentum; The "three modernizations", that is, the promotion of high-end, intelligent and green landing has taken effect, and the high-quality development of the metallurgical industry has been steadily promoted. For the steel industry, it is necessary to improve quality, reduce cost and increase efficiency as the main line, and scientific and technological innovation to promote development; For iron and steel enterprises, it is necessary to look inward, strong management, excellent structure, and cultivate core competitiveness.

Fourth, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 30, pointing out that we must rely on the efforts to effectively implement the macro policies that have been determined, and implement a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy. We will issue and make good use of ultra-long-term special government bonds at an early date, accelerate the issuance and use of special bonds, and maintain the necessary intensity of government spending.

"Even though there are many favorable policies and development opportunities at present, it is necessary to be vigilant that the current market situation of the steel industry cannot be blindly optimistic." Jia Yinsong said that in the first quarter of this year, China's industrial profits increased by 4.3% year-on-year, and three of 41 industries suffered losses, including the steel industry. The quarterly report of listed steel enterprises shows that 14 listed steel enterprises such as Angang Steel are losing money. At the same time, 9.89 million tons of steel were exported in March, close to the highest level in history, easing the pressure of oversupply, but the risk of trade friction increased.

Jia Yinsong believes that under the background of total supply exceeding demand, reducing cost, improving quality and increasing efficiency should become the main theme. "Iron and steel enterprises should establish new development concepts, innovate development models, develop new quality productivity, and form a situation of high-quality innovative development." 'he said.

First of all, seek development in the "three modernizations" (high-end, green, intelligent). Adhere to high-quality development as the main line, to the "three modernization" as the main goal, to science and technology, mechanism, management innovation as the driving force, and continue to promote the high-quality innovation and development of the steel industry.

Secondly, promote "three stability and three improvement" with "three advances". First, we must adjust and optimize the pace of production, stabilize supply, and improve the ability of high-quality dynamic balance between supply and demand. Second, we must carry out pioneering adjustment and optimization of product structure, steady growth, and improve the ability to expand the market with variety quality. Third, we must innovatively adjust and optimize the industrial chain, develop steadily, and improve the ability of brand collaborative development.

Finally, we need to strengthen confidence, innovate and develop. At present, the legislative work on the development of the private economy is being promoted, and the state has also clearly proposed that traditional industries such as steel cannot be used as "low-end industries" to withdraw, and it is necessary to focus on upgrading and transforming traditional industries. "As the basic industry of the national economy, the steel industry will continue to expand the space for the improvement of new steel materials, new quality productivity and international competitiveness in the future." Jia Yinsong said.
