The reporter of Science and Technology Daily asked questions on the spot
Reporter: Judging from the data just released, the province's fixed asset investment in the first quarter achieved double-digit high growth, what measures have the Provincial Development and Reform Commission taken?
Zhou Lirong, deputy director and spokesman of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission
Zhou Lirong:
Thank you for your question, and thank you for your concern and support for the development and reform of the province.
Since the beginning of this year, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission has fully implemented the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and the Provincial Party Committee's Economic Work Conference and the Provincial Economic Operation Scheduling Conference, in accordance with the work deployment of the provincial government, conscientiously performing its duties and responsibilities, taking the initiative to take the initiative, making full use of multiple policy opportunities, and promoting the work of grasping projects, promoting investment and steady growth with high quality and efficiency, in the first quarter, the province's fixed asset investment increased by 11.5% year-on-year, 7 percentage points higher than the country, and the growth rate ranked 6th in the country, achieving a good start. The hard-won achievements are mainly due to the strong leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the hard work of the whole province.
The first is to carry out the "100-day attack" action of major projects. We will continue to give full play to the role of major projects as the "ballast stone" for stimulating effective investment and expanding effective demand, formulate and implement the action plan for "adjusting structure, improving quality and efficiency, and maintaining growth" for fixed asset investment in the province, accurately focus on the direction of national policy investment, and organize the preparation of major provincial construction projects in 2024 with high quality. The three lists of key investment projects in the province and major pre-projects in the province are included in 2,509 projects, with a total investment of 3.49 trillion yuan and an annual planned investment of 542.9 billion yuan, laying a solid foundation for the steady growth of investment in the province. Give full play to the role of the provincial major project coordination and promotion mechanism, focus on key links such as project approval and approval, environmental impact assessment energy consumption, and land use pre-examination, comprehensively compress the time for pre-formalities, formulate a demand list and promotion plan for the land, requisition and demolition, capital and other guarantee elements that restrict the start of project construction, continue to improve the "red, yellow and blue" early warning and weekly, monthly, and quarterly scheduling mechanisms, and reverse the construction period and wall chart operations. In the first quarter, 1,902 "three list" projects in the province have resumed work, with a resumption rate of 83.5%, and a total investment of 71.94 billion yuan has been completed.
The second is to stabilize the supporting role of investment in key areas. Give full play to the leading role of investment in the industrial field, organize major industrial projects to start construction activities, involving 296 industrial projects, with a total investment of 262 billion yuan, focusing on the cultivation of emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, electronic information, biomedicine and the "three transformations" of traditional industries, and do a good job in the implementation of projects to build, extend, supplement and strengthen chains, and accelerate the promotion of major industrial projects such as Gansu Juhua silicon fluorine new materials and Shaanxi Coal Group's coal-based degradable materials. Taking advantage of the momentum to increase investment in the energy field, taking the opportunity of being approved as a national demonstration zone for the comprehensive development and utilization of new energy, accelerating the construction of national large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases, the province's new energy installed capacity reached 55.52 million kilowatts, an increase of 3.73 million kilowatts from the end of the previous year, wind power and solar power generation have become the first and second largest power sources in the province, and the early stage and construction of pumped storage projects continue to advance. Expand the traction role of investment in the transportation field, accelerate the construction of railways such as Zhongchuan to Wuwei section of Lanzhang 34 Line, Pingliang to Qingyang, Xining to Chengdu (Gansu section), G1816 Uma Expressway cooperation to Saierlong section, Dingxi to Lintao and other expressways, Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport Phase III expansion, Jiayuguan Airport reconstruction and expansion and other projects, and complete the investment of more than 10 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the annual investment plan.
The third is to strengthen the financial guarantee for project construction. In the first quarter, a total of 1,528 special bond projects in 2024 were declared, with a total investment of 733.4 billion yuan and 162.5 billion yuan of bond funds to be applied, and 972 investment projects in the central budget were declared, with a total investment of 72.06 billion yuan, and 51.5 billion yuan of investment in the central budget was to be applied. Adhere to the principle of "funds follow the project", speed up the progress of the allocation and use of central financial construction funds, and ensure that the funds are used for project construction as soon as they are in place. We should give full play to the role of government investment in leveraging the "four or two thousand pounds" and pay close attention to organizing and implementing treasury bond projects, so as to form a physical workload as soon as possible. Using the "government-bank-enterprise" docking mechanism and the "Credit Ease" platform, we encourage and support banking institutions to carry out overall management of bonds and loans for key projects through the credit enhancement method of "debt-loan portfolio", so as to effectively solve the problem of information asymmetry between banks and enterprises.
Fourth, dig deep into the policy release space. Establish a database of key private investment projects in the province and create a platform for private capital promotion projects. Conscientiously implement the guiding opinions on the new mechanism of public-private cooperation, plan a number of high-quality government cooperation projects with good returns in the support fields of agriculture, forestry and environmental protection, social undertakings, transportation and logistics, municipal infrastructure, etc., and promote them to social capital in strict accordance with the prescribed procedures and requirements, and standardize the promotion of franchise projects. Up to now, 513 projects have been publicly promoted, with a total investment of 347.3 billion yuan, 77 projects have been attracted to private enterprises to communicate and contact, 35 formal investment agreements or contracts have been signed, and 31.1 billion yuan of private capital has been attracted. In the first quarter, the province's private investment increased by 6.9% year-on-year, and the investment in private projects excluding real estate investment increased by 24.9%, showing a strong growth momentum.
In the next step, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will, in accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, seize the golden period of construction, further promote the 100-day action of major projects, strengthen project reserves, make greater efforts to make good use of government investment, and stimulate private investment, so as to stabilize the growth of fixed asset investment in the province and promote the high-quality economic and social development of the province.
