Recently, the national development and Reform Commission held a press conference to introduce the situation of actively expanding effective investment.
Recently, China’s international environment has faced multiple challenges, the downward pressure on China’s economy has further increased, and all walks of life pay more attention to the positive role of expanding effective investment in promoting economic development.
The reporter of the daily economic news learned from the press conference that in the first two months of this year, the national investment increased by 12.2%, achieved a good start, and achieved positive results in stabilizing investment.
Ou Hong, director of the investment department of the national development and Reform Commission, introduced at the meeting that although there has been some pressure to maintain the steady growth of investment due to factors such as the epidemic since March, there are many favorable conditions for stabilizing investment at present. For example, local government special bonds are available on a large scale. This year’s special bonds are arranged at 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.
At the same time, the press conference also revealed that since this year, among the 10 national data center clusters in China, 25 new projects have been started, the scale of the data center has reached 540000 standard racks, and the computing power has exceeded 135 billion floating-point operations per second, which is about the computing power of 27 million personal computers, driving the investment of more than 190 billion yuan in all aspects.
“counting from the east to the west” has initially shown its driving effect
In recent years, the construction of new infrastructure has attracted much attention. Sun Wei, deputy director of the high technology department of the national development and Reform Commission and first-class inspector, introduced at the press conference that in the first quarter of this year, 810005g base stations were newly built in China, with a total scale of more than 1506000; The number of gigabit network ports increased by 549000, reaching a total of 8.41 million, with the ability to cover 300 million families.
“At present, China has built 57 major scientific and technological infrastructure and built scientific and technological devices such as China’s SkyEye system and all superconducting tokamak. At the same time, application demonstration projects in the fields of smart city, smart transportation and smart medical treatment have played an important role in successfully hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and combating the covid-19 epidemic.” Sun Wei said.
Recently, the “counting from the east to the west” project has aroused heated discussion in the market. In response to the reporter’s questions about the latest progress of this project, Sun Wei introduced that in the early stage, the national development and Reform Commission and the four departments have approved and agreed to start the construction of National Computing hub nodes in 8 places, including Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Chengdu and Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and planned to set up 10 national data center clusters. According to the overall layout requirements, relevant market entities actively participated in the construction of big data center, and the investment driving effect initially appeared.
According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, 25 new projects have been started among the 10 national data center clusters in China. The scale of the data center has reached 540000 standard racks, with a computing power of more than 135 billion floating-point operations per second, about 27 million personal computers, driving investment in all aspects of more than 190 billion yuan. Among them, the investment in the western region increased six times over the same period last year, and the investment generally showed a good trend of transfer from east to west.
improve the infrastructure system of seed industry
How to improve China’s comprehensive agricultural production capacity through effective investment and secure China’s rice bowl is also a topic of common concern in the society.
In this regard, Li Mingchuan, deputy director of the agricultural and Economic Department of the national development and Reform Commission and first-class inspector, introduced at the press conference that this year, the national development and Reform Commission has issued a central budget investment of 22.6 billion yuan to continue to support all localities to strengthen farmland infrastructure construction.
“Focusing on grain production functional areas and important Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) production protection areas, we will focus on building a number of important Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) production bases integrating agricultural machinery and agronomy, supporting improved varieties and methods, and closely linking production, processing and marketing, so as to ensure that the construction of 1 billion mu of high standard farmland in China will be completed on schedule by the end of 2022.” Legend of Li Ming.
In addition, this year, the national development and Reform Commission has arranged a total investment of 3 billion yuan in the central budget to focus on promoting the implementation of a number of scientific and technological projects, one of which is the upgrading project of modern seed industry. 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 resource 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.
At a time when the epidemic continues to spread and occur frequently, what powerful measures does the national development and Reform Commission have in strengthening medical and health investment?
In this regard, sun Zhicheng, deputy director of the Social Department of the national development and Reform Commission, introduced that in view of the urgent need of “external defense input”, we have improved the epidemic prevention and control capacity in key areas. At the beginning of this year, we have arranged two batches of investment of 3.38 billion yuan in the central budget in the field of health care to support the construction of 61 projects. Among them, we will focus on supporting 9 land border areas to strengthen laboratory construction and testing and treatment equipment, and build a strong defense line for epidemic prevention, control and treatment at border ports.
At the same time, according to the changes and needs of the epidemic prevention and control situation, and in accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, timely improve the work plan and continue to support the construction of epidemic prevention and control capacity.
