yesterday (25th), lai xianyu, deputy director of the beijing development and reform commission, disclosed at the national development and reform commission's "two new" policy series press conference: as of september 23, the city has accepted 23,000 applications for scrapping and replacement of small cars, driving car sales of about 6 billion yuan; the old-for-new policy has also driven sales of more than 580,000 units of eight types of home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, driving sales of about 3.7 billion yuan.
preventing “price increase first, then subsidies”
in april this year, the city officially launched equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in. four months later, it launched an upgraded policy and released a city-level implementation plan to further support the "two new" products. on the same day, it also launched the scrapping and replacement of personal passenger cars and the trade-in of household appliances.
data shows that driven by the old-for-new policy for consumer goods, the retail sales of household appliances and audio-visual equipment in beijing increased from a year-on-year growth of 1.4% from january to june to a year-on-year growth of 8.9% from january to august.
"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." lai xianyu said that in view of the large demand for concentrated purchases by college students in beijing during the school season, relevant departments coordinated merchants to moderately increase subsidies for home appliances such as computers; in view of 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 support scope. since the implementation of the policy, the sales of new energy vehicles have increased by 20.7%.
in response to the price concerns of the public, the city has adopted a method whereby sales companies first report the goods and prices before selling them, and set a floating upper limit based on the prices of the past two months to prevent "price increases before subsidies" from offsetting the policy effect. "we will 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.
national day and "double eleven" continue to offer discounts and promotions
lai xianyu introduced that the city has integrated and built a "one-stop" service platform, embedded the "two new" policies into the "jingtong" mini-program of the city's convenient service platform, and made full use of existing channels and mechanisms to achieve "one-stop" processing for subsidy qualification certification, collection, and use, making the application for subsidies and purchase of goods faster and more efficient, greatly improving work efficiency.
the scope of participating enterprises has also been further expanded, basically covering major online platforms commonly used by citizens, such as jd.com, suning.com, lenovo, and xiaomi mall, as well as more than 300 offline stores, achieving full online and offline coverage of all districts in the city. at the same time, by building a "beijing home appliances trade-in zone" on the online platform and organizing home appliance theme markets in the community, citizens can consume conveniently at their "doorstep" and on their mobile phones.
in addition, the city also uses the data integration function of the "beijing-tong" platform to speed up the verification and payment of subsidies and reduce the financial pressure on enterprises. on the basis of government subsidies, we will encourage participating enterprises to give consumers more benefits on some categories of goods, and continue to promote the construction of integrated service capabilities for merchants to deliver new, dismantle old, and install, so that consumers can enjoy the multiple preferential shopping experience of "government subsidies + corporate benefits".
"the city will also dynamically improve and expand the scope of participating enterprises, explore cooperation with new media platforms, further enrich participation channels, and organize joint profit-sharing promotional activities during the upcoming national day and 'double eleven' to allow consumers to enjoy more discounts." lai xianyu said.
