“Currently, the external environment is complex and severe, there are many hidden risks in key areas, the equipment industry faces a new situation, and the pressure to stabilize the growth of the industry is relatively large.” At the press conference held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on September 5, Wang Weiming, director of the First Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and relevant departments have studied and formulated work plans for stabilizing the growth of three industries: automobiles, machinery, and power equipment. The next step is to speed up the implementation of the work plan. Among them, information platforms will be used to strengthen the monitoring of the economic operation of the equipment industry and timely coordinate and solve the difficulties and problems faced by the development of industry enterprises.
Wang Weiming said that from January to July, the equipment industry maintained a good development momentum and strongly supported the stable growth of industry. Data show that from January to July, the added value of the equipment industry increased by 8.9% year-on-year, 5.1 percentage points higher than that of large-scale industry; the operating income and total profit of large-scale enterprises in the equipment industry increased by 7.5% and 14.1% year-on-year respectively, 8 percentage points and 29.6 percentage points higher than that of large-scale industry; The export delivery value increased by 10.9% year-on-year, 15.8 percentage points higher than that of large-scale industry.
“Considering that the operating income of the automobile and power equipment industries account for about 30% of the equipment industry respectively, they have a large volume, a high proportion, and a great role in stabilizing the growth of the equipment industry. At the same time, the development of the industry has distinctive characteristics. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology separately prepared work plans for stabilizing the growth of the automobile and power equipment industries.” Wang Weiming also introduced that the work plan for stabilizing the growth of the machinery industry mainly focuses on 11 sub-industries such as machine tools, agricultural machinery, engineering machinery, instruments and meters, robots, rail transit equipment, medical equipment, mechanical basic parts, cultural office equipment, food packaging machinery, and other civil machinery. It involves 7 major categories of national economy, 36 middle categories and 108 small categories.
Wang Weiming pointed out that next, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant departments to strengthen overall coordination, create a favorable environment, speed up the implementation of work plans for stabilizing the growth of machinery, automobiles, and power equipment industries, and promote stable growth of equipment industry.
On one hand, support equipment manufacturing enterprises to carry out key core technology research and development, intelligent green transformation. Give full play to the role of national production-finance cooperation platform, guide financial institutions to increase credit support, comprehensively use various financial tools, and improve financial service quality and efficiency.
On another hand, strengthen monitoring and scheduling. Use information platforms such as “Digital Industry” to strengthen monitoring of economic operation of equipment industry, conduct in-depth investigation and research, timely coordinate and solve difficulties and problems faced by development of industry enterprises.
In addition, strengthen departmental coordination, promote establishment of central-local linkage and consultation exchange mechanism, coordinate and solve major issues. Encourage localities to base themselves on reality and introduce targeted policies for stabilizing growth in their regions. Give full play to role of industry organizations in service and support, build industry exchange exhibition platform, strengthen supply-demand docking.
