A series of major scientific and technological innovations and major engineering achievements have demonstrated the prominent role of central enterprises in the country's scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. In 2021, the R&D expenditure of central enterprises was 904.59 billion yuan, an increase of 16.1% year-on-year; the investment in fixed assets (excluding real estate investment) was 3.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.1% year-on-year.

Last year, the coal output of central enterprises exceeded 1 billion tons for the first time, and the annual power generation reached 4.95 trillion kWh, an increase of 10.2% year-on-year, providing a solid guarantee for the fight against energy supply.
Market-oriented reforms have broken the ice at a deeper level
Reform stimulates vitality and development gathers momentum. In 2021, the 70% target task of the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform was successfully completed, and it entered the final sprint stage.
The optimization of the layout of state-owned capital has formed a new pattern. The stripping and withdrawal rate of the "two non-assets" (non-main business and non-dominant business) and "two capitals" (inefficient assets and invalid assets) of central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises exceeded 80%, and the key loss-making sub-enterprises of central enterprises reduced their losses by 83.8% in three years. At the same time, the market-oriented operation mechanism has shown a new atmosphere. The tenure system and contractual management of managers are widely implemented, with a coverage rate of more than 90%; more than 5,600 qualified enterprises have carried out medium- and long-term incentives, with more than 450,000 people incentivized; market-oriented employment systems such as open recruitment, competitive induction, and full performance appraisal have been widely implemented, forming a new type of business responsibility system under the modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics.
Peng Huagang pointed out that in 2021, the modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics and the state-owned assets supervision system will take substantial steps towards a more mature and stereotyped form, and the reform of the market-oriented operation mechanism of enterprises will break the ice on a larger scale and at a deeper level. Strategic reorganization, professional integration, and the layout of emerging industries have effectively promoted the optimization and upgrading of the state-owned capital structure, and the reform has provided a strong impetus for the high-quality development of state-owned central enterprises.
Mixed ownership reform is an important way to improve the vitality of state-owned enterprises. In 2021, central enterprises will implement more than 890 mixed ownership reform projects and introduce more than 380 billion yuan of social capital through market-oriented methods. While introducing various types of social capital to carry out joint venture cooperation, central enterprises also start from strengthening industrial chain cooperation and cultivating new growth points, and carry out equity participation and investment in private enterprises through market-oriented methods. At present, there are more than 6,000 foreign shareholding enterprises of central enterprises.
"Mixed reform enterprises adhere to the mixed reform, focus on the deep transformation of economic mechanisms, and have made positive progress in improving corporate governance, market-oriented selection and employment of personnel, medium- and long-term incentives, and full performance appraisal." Peng Huagang also stressed that mixed reform should be classified and promoted according to the functional positioning of enterprises, and it is appropriate to reform and reform, so as to achieve practical results, avoid confusion, and resolutely prevent the loss of state-owned assets.
Angang Steel reorganized Bengang Steel, Baowu reorganized TISCO, China Electronics reorganized China Putian, and newly established China Star Network, China Electrical Equipment, China Logistics, China Rare Earth Group, State Pipe Network Group...... In 2021, the restructuring and integration of central enterprises has taken a big step. "The number of restructuring and integration projects, the intensity of the large, the new scale, and the good effect are unprecedented, which has effectively promoted the optimization of the layout structure of state-owned capital and promoted the transformation and upgrading of the industry." Peng Huagang said that in the future, in accordance with the principle of "mature one household, promote one household", we will steadily promote the restructuring and integration of iron and steel and other fields, and at the same time, with advantageous enterprises as the main body, actively promote the professional integration of grain reserve processing, port terminals and other fields, and effectively improve the efficiency of resource allocation and the core competitiveness of enterprises.
Go all out to pull out hard nails and gnaw hard bones
In 2022, the central enterprises put forward the development goal of "two increases, one control and three improvements". "Two increases" mean that the growth rate of total profits and net profits is higher than the growth rate of the national economy; "one control" means that the asset-liability ratio is controlled within 65%; "three increases" means that the profit margin of operating income is increased by 0.1 percentage points, the labor productivity of all employees is increased by 5%, and the investment in research and development funds should be further increased.
"In 2022, central enterprises should adhere to the position of stable growth and risk prevention in a more prominent position, grasp the initiative of stable growth, highlight the main responsibility of the main business, enhance the stability and sustainability of benefit growth, and resolutely adhere to the bottom line of no major risks." Peng Huagang believes that central enterprises should persist in stimulating the vitality of market players with reform, and go all out to pull out hard nails and gnaw hard bones in light of the requirements and key tasks of the three-year action targets and key tasks of state-owned enterprise reform.
It is reported that the central enterprises will comprehensively focus on the key and difficult points of the three-year action this year, including the construction of a professional and responsible, standardized and efficient board of directors, promote the implementation of the three system reforms at all levels of sub-enterprises, implement a market-competitive salary incentive system for key core technical talents, and promote the deep transformation of the operating mechanism of mixed ownership enterprises.
Peng Huagang proposed that in 2022, central enterprises should adhere to strengthening the main position of enterprise innovation and building a national strategic scientific and technological force. Guided by the national strategic needs, accelerate the creation of original technology sources, strengthen the key technologies, common technologies and cutting-edge technologies in the industry, promote the demonstration and application of a number of major research achievements, and cultivate and expand new momentum for development.
According to reports, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council is vigorously promoting green and low-carbon technology innovation, organizing research on the carbon-neutral scientific and technological innovation path of central enterprises, encouraging and supporting central enterprises to aim at the world's advanced level and strengthening major scientific and technological research on low-carbon zero-carbon negative carbon.
