my country is the largest country in the manufacturing industry. the added value of manufacturing accounts for about 30% of the world's total. the ownership of many types of machinery and equipment ranks first in the world. according to calculations by relevant agencies, the current net asset value of the entire society’s equipment stock is approximately 40 trillion yuan. as new industrialization and urbanization continue to advance, the demand for updating various types of equipment is increasing.
at present, it is of great significance to accelerate the implementation of equipment update actions by improving technology, energy consumption, emission and other standards to promote industrial upgrading and develop new productivity.
help stabilize growth and promote transformation
after my country introduced a number of measures to strengthen support for large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in (hereinafter referred to as the "two new"), 150 billion yuan of ultra-long-term special government bond funds to support large-scale equipment renewal have been allocated to the project in two batches. preliminary estimates show that this year's government bond funds will support more than 4,600 equipment renewal projects, with a total investment of nearly 800 billion yuan, which can drive the renewal of more than 2 million units (sets) of various types of equipment, resulting in energy savings of about 25 million tons of standard coal per year.
liu dechun, director of the department of resource conservation and environmental protection of the national development and reform commission, said that equipment updating in key areas has made positive progress, and its role in stabilizing growth and promoting transformation has continued to show.
from the industrial field, large-scale equipment renewal policies have promoted "two accelerations" in traditional industries.
we will better guide traditional industries to accelerate energy conservation and carbon reduction. the cement industry has always had high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. "about 16% of my country's cement clinker production capacity still has energy efficiency below the benchmark level. some cement companies have a large number of old equipment. transformation, upgrading and equipment renewal are key measures to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in the industry." china building materials industry planning research kong an, former vice president of the hospital, said.
it can also promote the accelerated transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. data show that from january to august, national industrial equipment investment increased by 11.1% year-on-year, and investment in technological transformation increased by 10.6% year-on-year. the growth rate was 2.4 percentage points and 5.9 percentage points higher than that of 2023. in the second quarter, the penetration rate of digital r&d and design tools in industrial enterprises above designated size nationwide reached 83.1%, and the numerical control rate of key processes reached 64.9%, an increase of 1.1 and 1.9 percentage points respectively from the end of 2023.
zhang jianhua, deputy director of the planning department of the ministry of industry and information technology, said that various regions have taken large-scale equipment updates as the starting point to implement manufacturing technology transformation and upgrading projects, adhere to market-oriented promotion, standardization guidance, and integrated software and hardware updates, and carry out advanced equipment updates, the four major actions of digital transformation, green equipment promotion, and intrinsic safety level improvement will promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry.
in the field of construction and municipal administration, there is a considerable demand for the updating of construction and municipal infrastructure equipment in various places. while receiving the support of ultra-long-term government bonds, they have increased investment by spending more than 40 billion yuan in self-raised funds.
xing haifeng, a first-level inspector of the urban construction department of the ministry of housing and urban-rural development, said that at present, more than 6,400 water supply plants, sewage treatment plants, heat exchange stations, liquefied gas filling stations, garbage treatment stations and other facilities have been updated nationwide. completed the renewal of 21 million sets/pieces of old residential elevators, water supply and drainage equipment, sanitation equipment, building construction equipment, lifeline projects, etc.; completed 22 million square meters of building energy-saving renovations.
from the perspective of transportation and agriculture, from january to august this year, the number of electrified replacements of urban buses, the renewal of old operating trucks, and the renewal of old operating ships increased significantly; the national scrapped vehicle recycling volume was 4.21 million, a year-on-year increase of 42.4%. it has reached more than 90% of the scrap volume last year. the scrapping and replacement of old agricultural machinery has been further promoted, driving investment in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery to increase by 5.2% year-on-year.
focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises
after the introduction of several measures to strengthen support for the "two new" policies, relevant central and local support policies have taken benefiting more small and medium-sized enterprises as an important consideration. through these measures, willing companies can be helped to solve problems such as shortage of funds and failure to meet project application thresholds, so as to update equipment in a timely manner.
the 12,000 specialized and new enterprises are the most dynamic innovation group in jiangsu province. in order to solve the problem of financing difficulties for small, medium and micro enterprises to update equipment, jiangsu province has introduced "specialized special new loans" to provide enterprises with two types of support: working capital loans and project loans, with a maximum loan limit of 30 million yuan for a single household. as of september 20, 11.26 billion yuan of "specialized, specialized and new loans" had been invested, benefiting 1,542 specialized, specialized and new enterprises. "for non-performing loans, it is clear that the provincial inclusive financial development risk compensation fund will provide up to 80% of risk compensation to eliminate banks' worries." shen jianrong, party secretary and director of the jiangsu provincial development and reform commission, said.
as a province with a large private economy, zhejiang's private enterprises have a huge demand for machinery and equipment and their need for updates. to this end, zhejiang province compiled and released three lists of high-end equipment supply, key equipment updates, and corporate financing needs. since the beginning of this year, zhejiang province has organized 436 "ten chains, hundreds of events and ten thousand enterprises" docking activities at the city, county and county levels, with more than 43,000 companies participating, helping companies connect orders exceeding 60 billion yuan.
in addition, in response to problems such as high application thresholds for equipment renewal projects in industry and other fields, and difficulties in meeting the requirements for small and medium-sized enterprise projects, the central level has optimized project application conditions; in the energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of key industries, the annual power saving after equipment transformation exceeds 500,000 kilowatts. projects that can save more than 150 tons of standard coal per year or save more than 150 tons of standard coal per year are included in the scope of support to benefit more small and medium-sized enterprises; carry out urban pilot projects for new manufacturing technology transformation and digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and set up special guidance funds to focus on supporting key enterprises, digital transformation of industrial chains and science and technology industrial parks, and the construction of a number of demonstration projects.
make better use of funds
machinery and equipment are an important part of productivity and the "skeleton" of the modern industrial system. "promoting a new round of large-scale equipment upgrades is not a short-term economic stimulus, but a medium- and long-term measure to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the company's assets," liu dechun said.
while the central level spends "real money", local governments also use various methods such as investment subsidies, loan interest discounts, equity investments, financial leases and guarantee subsidies to support equipment renewal based on actual conditions.
zhejiang province formulated and issued the "work plan for using financial leasing tools to support equipment updates" to comprehensively promote financial leasing services for the development of the real economy. for example, ningbo city, zhejiang province launched the first comprehensive service platform "equipment home" app, which provides one-stop services such as equipment financing, new machine procurement, and direct sales of used machines. it has provided more than 430,000 units to 35,000 companies, with a total of 30.3 billion in equipment update support. "giving full play to the unique advantages of combining 'financing' and 'financing' in the financial leasing industry to provide flexible, convenient and low-cost financial support for enterprise equipment renewal." said zhang chunhua, member of the party leadership group and deputy director of the zhejiang provincial development and reform commission.
technological innovation enterprises are an important force in the development of new productive forces in jiangsu. in order to meet the needs of enterprises for equipment renewal, jiangsu province has introduced a first-loan interest discount policy for scientific and technological innovation enterprises. for eligible first-time loans to technology-based enterprises, the provincial finance department will provide an annual discount of 1% of the loan amount, with a maximum single-family loan amount of 20 million yuan. as of september 20, 684 technological innovation-based enterprises have submitted first-time loan requests, totaling 3.534 billion yuan, of which technological small and medium-sized enterprises accounted for 93% of the total.
promoting large-scale equipment updates will inevitably bring about the problem of how to recycle and dispose of used equipment. systematic construction of a recycling system is an important way to solve such problems, and it is also a key link in promoting the "two new" actions.
li donghui, party secretary and director of the development and reform commission of hubei province, said that relying on leading enterprises in hubei province and using digital technology as a means to seize the opportunity of "replacement with new", promote "removal of old" recycling, promote the effective docking of supply and demand, and form a positive interactive pattern of resource recycling . at present, there are 4,728 renewable resource recycling and processing enterprises in hubei province, and the annual utilization of main renewable resources exceeds 12 million tons.
in the next step, we must continue to promote energy efficiency, safety, and technology diagnosis in key industries, actively use big data and other means to provide precise relief and problem solving, further promote the superposition of policy effects, and use equipment updates to empower enterprise upgrades and industrial renewal.
