The end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" is coming soon, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" is about to begin. China's iron and steel industry will focus on the fundamental task of comprehensively improving the industrial base and the level of the industrial chain, adhere to the two development themes of green development and intelligent manufacturing, and focus on solving the three major pain points of the industry to control capacity expansion, promote industrial concentration, and ensure resource security. Focus on the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, focus on key national projects, new infrastructure and other important support points for expanding domestic demand, and better plan for continuous promotion of the high-quality development of the steel industry.

Deeply understand the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, and strengthen confidence in the long-term improvement of the national economic development trend. At the same time, we must have a clear and objective understanding and grasp of changes in the international environment and steel market.

The latest "World Economic Outlook Report" issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on October 13 raised the global economic growth forecast for this year, and it is expected that the world economy will shrink by 4.4% in 2020 and grow by 5.2% in 2021. The report pointed out that the world's major economies are in recession, economic uncertainty still exists, and the later growth performance is worse than expected. The report pointed out that the continuity of the economic shock is still uncertain and involves some unpredictable factors, including the path of the epidemic, the cost of economic policy adjustment, and the effectiveness of economic response policies and changes in financial policies.

According to the World Steel Association's forecast, global steel demand will shrink by 2.4% in 2020, and global steel demand will gradually recover in 2021, increasing by approximately 4.1%. According to the World Steel Association, due to the strong recovery of the Chinese economy, the decline in global steel demand this year will be slowed down. Despite this, steel demand will continue to shrink deeply in 2020 in both developed and developing economies, until 2021. It will be partially restored only in 2015.

Based on a comprehensive analysis, we have reason to believe that through continuous efforts to carry forward the past, China’s steel industry will not only become the backbone of the national economy and build a new development pattern, but will also contribute China’s strength to the continued prosperity of the world’s steel industry and achieve a greener and more sustainable development. Sustainable high-quality development. In the development of the "14th Five-Year Plan", China's steel industry will further improve its ability to meet the needs of downstream industries and ensure the high-quality development of downstream industries, and further build the comprehensive capabilities and international competitiveness of the sustainable development of my country's steel industry.

2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and actively adapt to the requirements of building a new development pattern. The Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce and all its member units must take active actions, take the initiative, and carry out pioneering work, and continuously improve the influence, cohesion and cohesion of the Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce. Combat effectiveness. In order to better promote the development of the private steel economy, several key tasks that are currently and in 2021 are put forward for your reference. The first is to actively cooperate with the national authorities to continue to do a good job in the preparation of the guidelines for promoting the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and strengthen resource guarantees and mergers and acquisitions in response to the difficulties of reducing overcapacity, high pressure on resources and the environment, and insufficient innovation capabilities. Research on targeted countermeasures such as restructuring and technological innovation fully reflects the reasonable demands of private steel companies, and be a good assistant to the government. The second is to actively cooperate with relevant government departments to do research work on industrial policies such as steel production capacity replacement, project filing, ultra-low emission transformation, and coordinate and organize the implementation of relevant policies to create a good policy environment for the development of private steel economy. The third is to insist on high-quality innovation and development. It is necessary to meet the needs of national economic development for steel materials as the core mission, to address difficulties and solve the shortage of urgently needed steel varieties and quality problems; to lead key breakthroughs in accordance with goals to meet According to the requirements of "Made in China 2025", national defense and military industry, and key projects, in response to the requirements of high-end steel product varieties and high physical quality, special research, detailed measures, and breakthroughs have been organized. The fourth is to adhere to the development of high-intelligence and collaborative innovation, make full use of 5G, Internet of Things and other high-tech, transform and upgrade the intelligentization of technological processes, improve the graceful steel production environment, and improve the quality and efficiency of steel economic operation; the goal is to meet the needs of users. Good professional production and customized services, improve the quality and level of technical services; promote the optimization of logistics energy flow information flow system, realize process reengineering, intelligent manufacturing, and improve the comprehensive ability of enterprises to reduce consumption, improve quality and increase efficiency. Fifth, adhere to the ultra-low emission transformation to accelerate the development of green innovation. On the basis of summing up practical experience, continue to increase the intensity of ultra-low emission transformation. It is necessary to adhere to quality as the core and strengthen the strengths to make up for the shortcomings and implement high-quality ultra-low emission technological transformations , And strive to achieve point-line-face, systematic control throughout the process. Sixth, actively cooperate with the national finance and taxation departments to study, adjust and improve relevant fiscal and taxation policies, ensure the safety of steel raw materials, and promote the import and recycling of scrap steel resources. Seventh, actively cooperate with national construction and other departments to do a good job in expanding new markets with new products, such as promoting the application of steel structures and new steel materials, and strive to establish a cooperation mechanism that combines upstream and downstream to expand markets, promote upgrades, and achieve mutual benefits. Eighth is to actively cooperate with scientific research institutions to build platforms, build mechanisms, provide services, and promote development, establish a working mechanism that links "production, study, research and application", promote a scientific and technological innovation mechanism that combines "production, study, research and application", and promote private steel companies Transformation and upgrading, innovative development. The ninth is to implement the "One Belt, One Road" strategy, study the "Going Global" work of steel under the new situation, and continue to promote the internationalization of China's steel industry.
