How to enhance the core competitiveness of manufacturing industry?

Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, recently accepted an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency.

 Confident, qualified, and capable of promoting the steady recovery of the industrial economy

  Q: What was the status of the industrial economy in the past year?

How to promote steady industrial growth in 2023?

  Answer: Over the past year, we have worked with various regions and departments to actively respond to the impact of various unexpected factors, implement a package of policies to stabilize the economy, and timely introduce a series of measures to revitalize the industrial economy.

From January to November 2022, the added value of industries above designated size in my country will increase by 3.8% year-on-year, and continue to play the role of industry as a "ballast stone" in stabilizing the macroeconomic market.

  It is undeniable that the operation of the industrial economy still faces difficulties and challenges, but it should be noted that the advantages of a complete industrial system and a strong domestic demand market are prominent.

In 2023, optimizing epidemic prevention and control measures, stock policies, and incremental policies will superimpose efforts, which will greatly boost market confidence.

We have the confidence, conditions and ability to promote the steady recovery of the industrial economy.

  The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will increase efforts to stabilize growth, strengthen coordination and cooperation of various policies, and focus on four aspects of work:

  The second is to focus on key industries and regions and stabilize the fundamentals of industrial growth.

For pillar industries such as machinery, petrochemicals, light industry, automobiles, electronics, etc., implement policies by industry, study and develop measures to stabilize growth.

Create more new growth points for emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, new-generation information technology, and high-end equipment.

Support major industrial provinces to "take the lead" and support regions to give full play to their respective advantages and achieve growth goals.

  The third is to fully implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" series of plans to boost effective investment in the manufacturing industry.

For the identified major projects, major projects, and major special projects, start the implementation as soon as possible to form a physical workload.

Support manufacturing companies to increase investment in high-end, intelligent, and green development, and strengthen service guarantees for major foreign-funded projects in the manufacturing industry.

  The fourth is to actively expand consumption and create new demand led by high-quality supply.

Implement the new energy vehicle leading and strong foundation project, and carry out the pilot program for the access of intelligent networked vehicles.

In-depth implementation of the action of "increasing varieties, improving quality, and creating brands" will promote the activities of sending green smart home appliances and green building materials to the countryside, vigorously cultivate demonstration cities for information consumption, and promote the development of new technologies, new products, and new models.
