In 2012, it is planned to promote the reform of oil and gas and other resource prices

Zhang Ping, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the national development and reform work conference on the 16th that it is necessary to actively and steadily push forward the reform of resource product prices and promote cross-regional, cross-industry, and cross-ownership mergers and reorganizations of traditional industries. The National Development and Reform Commission will publish and implement the "12th Five-Year Plan" service industry development plan. The meeting proposed that next year we must choose to launch a reform program for refined oil prices.

Actively and steadily pushing forward the reform of resource prices At this year's National Development and Reform Working Conference, the reform of resource prices was still one of the key points of the meeting. The conference stated that next year we must actively and steadily push forward the reform of resource product prices, try to implement a ladder pricing system for residents' electricity use, select a machine to launch a reform program for refined oil prices, introduce a pilot program for reform of natural gas prices, promote the reform of water fee and other charges, and establish major pollutant discharges. Rights trading system.

Analysts believe that the meeting proposed to launch the reform program of refined oil prices at the right time, indicating that it is unlikely that new plans will be introduced during the year. The trend of international oil prices will continue to be one of the important reference standards for the timing of new plans.

The “Key Opinions on Deepening Economic System Reform in 2011” issued by the State Council at the beginning of the year proposed the establishment of a natural gas price formation mechanism reflecting the degree of resource scarcity and market supply and demand, and further streamlining the price ratio between natural gas and alternative energy sources.

Industry insiders believe that the meeting stated that the natural gas price reform will be launched in the form of a “pilot” scheme, indicating that the new mechanism for natural gas prices is unlikely to be uniformly launched like the refined oil pricing mechanism. It is possible to select pilot regions in some regions and wait for the pilots to mature. It will be a major feature of the natural gas price reform program.

The meeting pointed out that it will step up the implementation of the total energy consumption control implementation plan, and appropriately increase the emission standards for nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. According to the disclosed information, the new energy consumption in hydropower, wind power, solar energy, and comprehensive utilization of energy will not be included in the total amount control. The main target of energy consumption control is coal. The main reason for raising the NOx emission standard was that in the first half of the year, during the verification of the reduction of the four major pollutants, only nitrogen oxides had risen.

The Central Investment Priority Guaranteed the Continued Construction Project At this meeting, Zhang Ping stated that next year it will make every effort to optimize the investment structure and continue to maintain a reasonable investment scale. The central government should give priority to safeguarding key national projects for continued construction, especially closing projects, ensure the timely completion of production and put into operation, orderly advance the construction of major projects identified in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, and increase the protection of housing projects, education, health, water conservancy, Tibet has invested heavily in the development of Tibet and four provinces and Tibetan areas, focusing on supporting infrastructure construction in areas such as “three rural issues”, energy conservation and emission reduction, social undertakings, and social management.

Zhang Ping said that the National Development and Reform Commission will support private investment in railways, municipalities, finance, energy, and social undertakings. We will continue to implement special projects for revitalization of key industries and investment in technological transformation. In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission will publish and implement the "12th Five-Year Plan" service industry development plan, study and further promote the comprehensive reform of the service industry pilot support policy, and promote the service industry to accelerate development. Zhang Ping emphasized that next year we must consolidate and expand the results of real estate market regulation, continue to strictly implement policies and measures to curb speculative and investment demand, encourage support for the construction of ordinary commercial housing for medium and small-sized units and low-to-medium-priced units, and promote the healthy development of the real estate market.

In terms of price policy next year, the NDRC still regards the general price level of stabilization as an important task for macroeconomic control. At the meeting of the National Price Bureau held on the same day, Peng Sen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, believes that next year's world economic situation will be severely complicated, the uncertainty of the recovery of the world economy will rise, and the possibility of abnormal volatility in international commodity prices will be greater; The equilibrium pattern still exists, with many circulation problems and high costs. The price of labor, land and other factors and the cost of environmental protection are on the rise, and the price pressure is still high.
