China News Service, Beijing, December 18 (Reporter Zhou Rui) Hao Peng, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of China, said on the 18th that central SOEs must earnestly do a good job in production and operation, reform and development of their enterprises in 2022, and do a solid job in eight areas.

  The first is to focus on business operations with stability, and make contributions while maintaining stability.

Hao Peng requested that the central enterprises should take the initiative and strive to achieve a good start.

He emphasized that due to the cliff-like decline in the economic benefits of central enterprises in the first quarter of last year and the super-fast growth in the first quarter of this year, the pressure for stable growth in the first quarter of next year and even the first half of the year will be very heavy. Achieving positive economic growth and stabilizing the growth momentum is victory.

In addition, the central enterprises must be stable and strong to ensure stable operation and development throughout the year; they must be stable and effective, and promote development of higher quality and more sustainable development.

  The second is to make concerted efforts to pay close attention to the implementation of reforms and achieve results, and complete the three-year action task with high quality.

Hao Peng requested that all central enterprises ensure that the three-year action tasks are basically completed before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and fully completed by the end of next year.

  The third is to accelerate the creation of a source of original technology and give better play to the supporting and leading role of technological innovation.

Hao Peng asked central SOEs to achieve more systematic breakthroughs in key core technologies; to better promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance in the in-depth promotion of the construction of strategic sources.

  The fourth is to effectively enhance the resilience and competitiveness of the supply chain of the industrial chain, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.

Hao Peng said that state-owned enterprises should highlight the responsibility of business owners for their main businesses, and invest more state-owned capital in the real economy and manufacturing.

It is necessary to thoroughly implement the action plan for the length of the modern industrial chain.

Focus on key industrial chains and draw industrial chain maps, build basic industrial databases and a database of major projects for strong chains and supplementary chains.

  Fifth, we must persist in taking an overall position and seeking one area, and further improve our ability to serve the country's major strategies.

Hao Peng asked central enterprises to serve the national and regional major strategies and regional coordinated development strategies, to further deepen central-regional cooperation, implement the requirements of Beijing's non-capital function relief, and help the construction of Xiongan New District.

  The sixth is to carry out overseas investment and production operations in a steady and orderly manner, and actively promote the high-quality development of the “Belt and Road” joint construction.

Hao Peng requested that central enterprises should effectively regulate the order of overseas investment operations.

Strictly control investments in countries with high debt risks and countries with unstable political situations and high security risks; it is necessary to effectively protect the lives and health of overseas employees.

  Seventh, we must resolutely and effectively prevent and resolve various risks, and firmly hold the bottom line of preventing major risks from occurring.

Hao Peng requires all central enterprises to strictly control debt risks, strengthen asset-liability ratio constraints, orderly reduce the scale of perpetual bonds, and push the debt ratios of highly indebted subsidiaries to return to a reasonable level as soon as possible.

  The eighth is to accelerate the construction of a world-class enterprise.

Hao Peng requires all enterprises to focus on solving the problems of big but not strong, all but not good, benchmarking world-class enterprises to make comprehensive improvements, and strive to enhance the innovation power of technological traction and industrial transformation, and enhance global competitiveness.
