What is the investment situation of the whole country this year?
On April 15, the national development and Reform Commission held a special press conference to introduce the work related to actively expanding effective investment, with a huge amount of information.
"In the first two months of this year, the national investment increased by 12.2%, achieved a good start, achieved positive results in stabilizing investment, and showed many highlights and characteristics." Ou Hong, director of the investment department of the national development and Reform Commission, said that all localities and all aspects have high enthusiasm and great efforts to stabilize investment, and investment is expected to maintain steady growth in the first quarter. It is revealed that up to now, the national development and Reform Commission has approved 32 fixed asset investment projects with a total investment of 520 billion yuan.
New infrastructure projects have become a highlight of investment. Taking the landmark East West computing project as an example, Sun Wei, deputy director of the high technology department of the national development and Reform Commission and first-class inspector, said that the East West computing project has driven investment in all aspects of more than 190 billion yuan. It is expected that the investment in big data centers will increase by more than 20% per year during the 14th Five Year Plan period, driving investment in all aspects of more than 3 trillion yuan. We will further strengthen overall planning, give play to the policy superposition effect, accelerate the improvement of the influence and cohesion of the eight computing hubs, and effectively drive the upstream and downstream investment in the big data center industry.
Do hospitals around the epidemic suck up? Aging superimposed "three child" policy, what about one old and one young? In response to the Shanghai Securities News reporter's question on "investment in the field of people's livelihood", sun Zhicheng, deputy director of the Social Department of the national development and Reform Commission, said that this year's investment has made great efforts in the "urgent difficulties and expectations" of the broad masses of the people. In 2022, the central budget investment in the field of social people's livelihood arranged by the social department alone will reach 73 billion yuan, actively supporting the construction of provincial, municipal and county CDCs, Build a "first line of defense" for grass-roots public health prevention and control.
new projects have steadily increased investment
form a strong support
"In the first two months of this year, China's investment increased by 12.2%. We made a good start, achieved positive results in stabilizing investment, and showed many highlights and characteristics." Ou Hong said that in terms of investment, manufacturing investment and infrastructure investment have increased well, which has become an important driving force for investment growth.
Zheng Jian, deputy director of the Infrastructure Department of the national development and Reform Commission, revealed that significant results were achieved in expanding effective investment in transportation infrastructure in the first quarter. From January to March, it is expected that the investment in fixed assets of railway, public aviation and water transportation will reach 636 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.8%.
"Since March, affected by the epidemic and other factors, maintaining the steady growth of investment has faced some pressure." Ou Hong said that on the whole, however, there are many favorable conditions for stabilizing investment at present, as follows:
First, local government special bonds are available on a large scale. This year's special bond arrangement is 3.65 trillion yuan, plus about 1.2 trillion yuan issued in the fourth quarter of last year, which will form an important support for investment growth this year.
Second, there are many investment growth points, and there is still much room for investment in infrastructure to make up for weaknesses, promote projects in the "double carbon" field, develop emerging industries and implement new urbanization.
Third, all localities and all sectors have high enthusiasm and great efforts to stabilize investment.
"Investment is expected to maintain steady growth in the first quarter. In the next step, we will earnestly implement various policies and measures to actively expand effective investment and play an important role in stabilizing the macro-economic market." He said.
a series of policies are on the way
What's next? What are the other advantages?
"We will continue to focus on the construction of major projects and make every effort to expand effective investment in the field of transportation." Zheng Jian said.
First, accelerate the construction of major projects. Focusing on the major projects planned in the 14th five year plan, we will promote the implementation of major projects such as relevant planning and implementation plans and annual project lists.
Second, plan and reserve major projects. We will accelerate the preparation of national highway network planning and national port and waterway layout planning, plan and reserve a number of major projects, and enhance the stamina for the continuous expansion of effective investment.
Third, improve the promotion mechanism of major projects. We will continue to play the role of the consultation mechanism for the preliminary work of railway projects and the military civilian coordination mechanism for airport projects, actively coordinate and solve key and difficult problems, and encourage neighboring provinces to establish a joint working mechanism under the guidance of the state to jointly promote major projects across provinces and regions.
"We will further mobilize the vitality of market players and stimulate the enthusiasm of private investment." Sun Wei said that it includes reducing the access threshold, further relaxing the access fields, reducing the investment threshold, promoting the full role of private capital, increasing credit support, innovating financial instruments and broadening financing channels, especially creating more favorable conditions for private enterprises to participate in the construction of new infrastructure.
Zheng Jian said that we should continue to increase financial support, including encouraging qualified projects to participate in the pilot of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the field of infrastructure, giving priority to supporting stock projects, carrying out government and social capital cooperation (PPP), improving the proportion of stock projects, and forming a benign investment situation of "stock with increment".
increase investment in health care and food
Increasing investment in health care and food is also a major focus this year.
"In the face of the current situation that the epidemic continues to spread and occur frequently, we will maintain and increase investment in the field of medical and health care." Sun Zhicheng said that on the whole, the investment in the central budget of the 14th five year plan should significantly support the medical and health field more than that of the 13th five year plan, and tilt towards major projects expected by the masses, such as epidemic prevention and treatment, expansion of high-quality medical resources, revitalization and development of traditional Chinese medicine and so on.
The key tasks to be done this year are as follows: first, in view of the urgent needs of "external defense input", improve the epidemic prevention and control capacity in key areas, focus on supporting the construction of laboratories and the allocation of testing and treatment equipment in nine land border areas, and build a strong defense line for epidemic prevention, control and treatment at border ports.
Second, we will implement major projects related to epidemic prevention and treatment in view of the weaknesses of "internal anti rebound".
Third, focus on the problem of "difficulty in seeing a doctor" and promote the expansion and extension of high-quality medical resources to the masses.
Fourth, we should pay equal attention to traditional Chinese and Western medicine and vigorously support the revitalization and development of traditional Chinese medicine. We launched the construction project of national TCM inheritance and innovation centers, and supported the construction of about 30 national TCM inheritance and innovation centers. It plans to launch the "flagship" hospital construction project of synergy between traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and demonstrate and lead the synergy between traditional Chinese and Western medicine. We will continue to promote the construction of key hospitals with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics and further increase the high-quality traditional Chinese medicine service resources around the masses.
In addition, investment in food security has increased.
"Take the guarantee of grain and important Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) effective supply as an important support direction for investment in the central budget, and increase investment." Li Ming, deputy director of the agricultural and Economic Department of the national development and Reform Commission and first-class inspector, said that he should focus on "storing grain in the land" and "storing grain in technology".
Among them, in terms of grain storage in technology, a total of 3 billion yuan has been invested in the central budget this year, focusing on promoting the implementation of two major scientific and technological projects: one is the upgrading project of modern seed industry, and the other is the upgrading project of animal and plant protection capacity.
"Only by clenching the Chinese seeds with your own hands can you stabilize China's rice bowl." Li Ming said that the national development and Reform Commission will support relevant parties to speed up the improvement of the seed industry infrastructure system around the links of germplasm resources protection, breeding innovation, variety testing and seed production (breeding), so as to ensure that the seed sources are independently controllable and the seed industry is self reliant in science and technology.
