The CPC Central Committee and The State Council attach great importance to the development of the steel industry. In 2021, under the guidance of the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, the steel industry seriously implement the capacity, output "double control" a series of policy decisions, and actively take effective measures to adjust the production strength, the crude steel output fell nearly 30 million tons, maintain the market supply and demand basically stable and steel prices basically stable, maintains the smooth running of the upstream and downstream industry chain, Iron and steel whole industry benefit also creates the best level in history. The practice shows that the crude steel output reduction policy has achieved very obvious results, and has been widely recognized and supported by the majority of iron and steel enterprises.
Today, the National Development and Reform Commission is put forward in the press conference, to maintain the policy continuity and stability, and consolidate the good results of crude steel production reduce, in 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, ecological environment, the National Bureau of Statistics will continue to carry out national crude steel production reduce work, guide the extensive development of iron and steel enterprises abandon the quantity way, We will promote high-quality development of the steel industry. In the process of crude steel output reduction, we will adhere to "one general principle and highlight two key points" : A general principle is to firmly grasp the word pledge, seek improvement in stability overall tone, in keeping the steel industry supply side policy continuity and stability of the structural reform at the same time, adhere to market-oriented, government by law principle, give play to the role of market mechanism, stimulate the enterprise enthusiasm, strict enforcement of environmental protection, energy consumption, safety, land use and other relevant laws and regulations; Highlight two key is to stick to distinguish situation, maintain pressure, avoid "one size fits all", in the key areas reduce and the surrounding areas of the beijing-tianjin-hebei region, Yangtze river delta region of nutrient-laden plains and other key regional crude steel production for the control of air pollution, reduce in regard to the key object of poor environmental performance, high energy consumption, crude steel production technology and equipment level is relatively backward, The goal is to ensure that the country's crude steel production in 2022 falls year on year. The vast iron and steel enterprises should fully understand the extreme importance of this work, and actively implement the relevant policies and requirements of the state.
In the current market environment, the main task facing the steel industry is how to maintain the balance between supply and demand under the limited market demand. Reducing crude steel output is to give full play to the role of the government and the market, timely adjust the intensity of steel production, and establish a new balance between market supply and demand. From the international point of view, iron and steel enterprises production quota management is often used in the output regulation method. The iron and steel industry is fully capable of achieving the goal of maintaining supply and price stability. The core problem is to fulfill the mission of ensuring supply at the minimum cost under the constraints of limited resources and energy as well as ecological environment.
In the current market environment, the iron and steel industry to ensure the total supply is not a problem, the majority of enterprises in how to improve the supply quality, in how to improve the quality of varieties. Practice has proved that in the latter half of the year when great changes in steel demand, as long as able to focus on market demand, reasonable use of production capacity, iron and steel industry can also achieve a new balance between supply and demand, the result of the downstream industry, upstream suppliers is good, is to keep the iron and steel industry chain and stable operation of the supply chain for a long time.
In the current market environment, enterprises should make great efforts to improve high-end production capacity, and make great efforts in high-tech and high-value-added products. This is the inevitable choice of high-quality development, especially under the dual constraints of resources and environment, it is not wise to export low-end steel products on a large scale, which should be constrained, limited, and the relevant regulatory departments and institutions together to do a good job in the traceability of exporters and producers is essential basic work. The iron and steel industry is firmly committed to the goal and overall requirement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. It is also unshakable to build Chinese brands and improve international competitiveness. While restricting the export of low-end products, we should continue to encourage the export of high-tech and high value-added products, accept high-level tests in the international market, improve the international competitiveness of Chinese steel, expand and deepen cooperation with the most advanced downstream enterprises in the world, and establish a reputation for the high quality of Chinese steel products. At the same time, we should expand trade relations with other developing countries and increase the import of primary products in an orderly manner for mutual benefit and common development. After decades of rapid development, the responsibilities and roles of Chinese steel in the global steel industry chain have been different. Chinese enterprises should take the initiative to adapt to this change, and different enterprises should also find their own positioning in the process.
In the current market environment, iron and steel enterprises should make great efforts in energy conservation and environmental protection, improve the level of clean production, and accelerate the transformation of ultra-low emission. It is inevitable that the production of enterprises with excessive environmental emissions and low environmental governance level will be restricted. In the regulation of production capacity, rewarding the good and punishing the bad, and eliminating the fittest is also the correct direction that fair and strict regulation should adhere to.
In the current market environment, we should emphasize the seriousness of statistical data. If the past few years to reduce capacity in the process of cracking down on "floor steel" is to show the quality management ability of the industry, emphasizing the quality of legislative awareness, the government action, strict law enforcement, then the output control is to improve the industry's data management ability, is to emphasize the data legislative awareness, the statistical data fraud to severely punish, Ensure the authenticity of steel industry production, quality, energy consumption, environment and other aspects of the data.
In the current market environment, we should further strengthen self-discipline. A new output regulation mechanism, which is constrained by policies on energy consumption and carbon emissions, as well as self-regulation by the industry and government supervision, has been gradually formed in line with market rules. At the same time, we will crack down on speculation in the commodity market and safeguard market fairness and equity.
At present, the development of China's steel industry entered a new phase of development, industry development idea and the way of development faced with profound changes, the steel industry will continue to focus on upgrading industrial base and industrial level this basic task, adhere to the theme of green and intelligent manufacturing development, capacity expansion, promote the industry to solve three industry focus, resource security weaknesses, Continue to promote the process of internationalization, fully fulfill the mission of ensuring supply, realize the development of the steel industry itself, and actively drive the related industries to achieve common prosperity of the three key tasks, accelerate the steel industry to achieve new progress in high-quality development.
