this morning (25th), at the third press conference of the national development and reform commission's "two new" policy series, lai xianyu, deputy director of the beijing development and reform commission, introduced beijing's experience in carrying out the "old for new" policy for consumer goods. among them, in terms of prices that citizens are concerned about, the city adopts the method of sales companies first reporting the goods and prices, and then selling them, using the prices of the past two months as the standard, setting a floating upper limit to prevent "price increases first and subsidies later" and offsetting the policy effect.
driving car sales
about 6 billion yuan
on august 26, beijing issued a municipal implementation plan to further support the "two new" and simultaneously launched the scrapping and replacement of personal passenger cars and the replacement of old home appliances on the same day. as of september 23, it has driven the sales of 8 types of home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines to more than 580,000 units, driving sales of about 3.7 billion yuan. in addition, 23,000 applications for scrapping and replacement of small cars were accepted, driving car sales of about 6 billion yuan. driven by the policy of replacing old consumer goods, the retail sales of household appliances and audio-visual equipment in beijing increased from 1.4% year-on-year from january to june to 8.9% year-on-year from january to august.
during the promotion of the work, beijing organized nearly 100 industry associations, platform companies, and production and sales companies to conduct research and discussion to identify products with high market attention and great demand for replacement. in view of the large demand for concentrated purchases by college students in beijing during the start of the school year, the city coordinated with merchants to moderately increase subsidies for home appliances such as computers. in response to the replacement and renewal of personal cars that citizens are concerned about, the replacement and renewal of new energy vehicles will be included in the scope of support. since the implementation of the policy, the sales of new energy vehicles have increased by 20.7%.
let more "real money"
direct to consumers
in terms of improving the convenience of citizens' purchases, the city has set up a special area for the trade-in of consumer goods in the "beijing tong" mini-program, a convenient service platform familiar to citizens, simplified the authentication method, and facilitated the operation of citizens; the city has summarized and released policy interpretations through the beijing 12345 public account commonly used by citizens, explaining item by item how to receive subsidies; and produced relevant promotional videos and animations, and used public transportation, subways and other media to promote the policy, so that more citizens can be reached. "we will also work with the commerce and market supervision departments to further expand the scope of supervision and inspection, and ensure that the policy's 'real money' benefits more citizens." lai xianyu said.
"at present, my country's major household appliances ownership exceeds 3 billion units, and automobile ownership exceeds 300 million units, and the potential for upgrading is huge." wen hua, deputy director of the department of resource conservation and environmental protection of the national development and reform commission, also introduced at the press conference that relevant departments have comprehensively considered factors such as the permanent population, regional gdp, automobile and household appliance ownership, and issued 150 billion yuan of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to local governments to support local governments in implementing the old-for-new consumer goods program in accordance with local conditions. at the same time, it has significantly increased subsidy standards in key areas to allow more "real money" to reach consumers directly.

national debt funds expenditure is nearly 11 billion

the old-for-new policy also helped to make the "golden september and silver october" auto consumption peak season even hotter. according to statistics from relevant associations, in the first three weeks of september, the national passenger car retail sales reached 1.243 million units, a 10% increase over the same period last year and a 10% increase over the first three weeks of august; among them, the retail sales of new energy passenger cars reached 664,000 units, a 47% increase over the same period last year and a 7% increase over the first three weeks of august. data from the ministry of commerce also showed that from january to august, the national scrapped car recycling volume increased by 42.4% over the same period last year, especially since the implementation of the scrapping and renewal subsidy policy, the year-on-year growth rates in may, june, july and august reached 55.6%, 72.9%, 93.7% and 73.8% respectively.
timely processing of unqualified products
more than 5,600 batches
how can consumers feel comfortable buying and assured exchanging old products for new ones? wang shengli, deputy director of the quality supervision department of the state administration for market regulation, responded that market supervision departments should strengthen the quality and safety supervision of key consumer products, include consumer products such as household appliances and electrical accessories in the "catalogue of quality and safety supervision of key industrial products (2024 edition)", and deploy local market supervision departments to strengthen key supervision. up to now, market supervision departments at all levels across the country have spot-checked and inspected about 53,000 batches of new products such as household appliances, electric bicycles, decoration and renovation materials, kitchen and bathroom supplies, etc., discovered and promptly handled more than 5,600 batches of unqualified products, inspected about 357,000 production and sales companies, and discovered and urged rectification of 23,000 problems.
