Achievements made by the steel industry in the past five years

 In the report, Gao Xiangming summarized the achievements made by the steel industry in the past five years, mainly including six aspects:

First, the success of de-capacity and the industry maintained a steady and stable operation. With the deepening of the work to resolve the excess steel production capacity, the steel production needs to be rebalanced, the industry is basically stable, and the economic efficiency of the company has rebounded significantly, reaching the best level in history in 2018. The results of China's steel production reduction not only benefited Chinese steel enterprises, but also effectively promoted the recovery of the world steel industry. Specifically, first, steel production has maintained a sustained high growth. Secondly, the total volume of iron and steel exports has dropped and the structure has been optimized. Third, steel prices rebounded and stabilized. Fourth, industry profits have picked up and the asset-liability ratio has fallen.

The second is to promote ultra-low emission transformation, and the level of green development of the industry has been greatly improved. Gao Xiangming said that in recent years, under the pressure of the world's most stringent environmental protection standards, the majority of iron and steel enterprises have actively carried out multi-pollutants from flue gas around five key processes including coking, sintering (pellet), ironmaking, steelmaking, and rolling. Research on ultra-low emission technology and high-temperature flue gas circulating purification technology. Shougang, Baowu, Angang, Hegang, TISCO, Delong, Zhongtian and other iron and steel companies have vigorously promoted ultra-low emission transformation and took the lead in achieving breakthroughs. . At the same time, equipment upgrades have been implemented through reductions and replacements. A number of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies and indicators have reached world advanced levels.

Third, breakthroughs were made in mergers and reorganizations, and the industrial organization structure was further optimized. Gao Xiangming pointed out that in recent years, substantial progress has been made in the merger and reorganization of the steel industry. The reorganization of Baowu has created China's world-class "steel aircraft carrier"; the restructured Jianlong Group has expanded its scale, optimized its layout, further enhanced its competitiveness and industry status. Delong Group reorganized Bohai Iron and Steel through judicial reorganization, with a combined capacity of 30 million tons, and entered the industry's first echelon in one fell swoop. CITIC Special Steel reorganized and built the world's largest specialized special steel leading enterprise group. Shagang successfully restructured Northeast Special Steel to seize the commanding heights of technology, and General Steel became "special". These classic cases with the nature of "breaking the situation" have played an active role of demonstration for "mixed reform" across regions and ownership.

Fourth, the steel industry has vigorously promoted technological innovation, and the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry has increased. Gao Xiangming said that in the past five years, the steel industry has implemented the innovation-driven development strategy around the overall situation of national economic development, which has effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry and the enhancement of competitiveness. Specifically, the first is the continuous increase in scientific research investment and the significant improvement in scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Second, the supporting role of steel materials has been significantly enhanced. The third is the rapid development of intelligent steel manufacturing. Fourth, the role of standard innovation was further developed.

Fifth, "going global" has blossomed, and the level of internationalization has increased. In recent years, with the advancement of the "Belt and Road" construction and the release of the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting International Capacity and Equipment Manufacturing Cooperation", iron and steel enterprises have taken a solid step in "going global", and a number of important overseas steel production bases have emerged project. In order to coordinate the industry's foreign investment cooperation, in March 2017, with the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, the "China Iron and Steel International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance" was officially established, and the international capacity cooperation of steel has entered a new stage, and the internationalization level of the steel industry has significantly increased.

Six is the high-quality development of human resources in the industry. In the past 5 years, with the in-depth advancement of supply-side structural reforms, human resources work in the steel industry has achieved remarkable results, and high-quality development characteristics have emerged: first, the labor efficiency has been greatly improved; second, the personnel structure has been significantly optimized; third, the human capital competitiveness has been significantly improved Promotion.

Gao Xiangming also summarized the main work carried out by the fifth council and association in the report: first, to unify understanding, strengthen self-discipline, and maintain the smooth operation of the industry; second, to cooperate with government departments to promote supply-side structural reforms and strive to consolidate the results of de-capacity The third is to continue to promote benchmarking, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and deleveraging. The fourth is to actively participate in the formulation of policies, regulations and plans, reflect the needs of enterprises, and lead the industry out of difficulties. Fifth, strengthen external publicity and communication to improve the image of China's steel industry.

Gao Xiangming said that the focus of the steel industry in 2020 should be on the following seven areas: first, unify thinking, guide expectations, and maintain the smooth operation of the industry; second, consolidate the results of structural reforms on the supply side and prohibit new capacity; Promote differentiated environmental protection and limited production and “peak-peak production” and accelerate the transformation of ultra-low emissions; the fourth is to actively promote the merger and reorganization of enterprises and increase the concentration of the industry; the fifth is to vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation; the sixth is to establish and implement a strategy for the protection of steel raw materials; To comprehensively strengthen party building.
