On November 23, Chi Jingdong, vice president of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, made a report entitled "China's iron and steel industry operation trend and 2020 development trend". He said that the current concerns of the iron and steel industry are the impact of a new round of new production capacity, the second is the governance of ultra-low emissions, the third is the huge investment in new production capacity, the fourth is the safety guarantee of iron ore supply, the fifth is scientific and technological innovation, and the sixth is the issue of internationalization and globalization. This is not only the current problems encountered by the steel industry, but also some long-term problems to be faced in promoting the high-quality development of the industry. He said that in terms of the steel industry, it is a policy that the steel industry must adhere to to to prohibit the increase of steel production capacity.
In his view, for the steel industry, we should not respond passively, but actively and take some new measures. From the current point of view, it is necessary to carry out organized emission control in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection and relevant standards, and pay close attention to the shortcomings. In the long run, the iron and steel industry should enter a higher stage of low-carbon and green development, and promote the whole iron and steel industry's low-carbon and green development to a higher level. It can't be limited to how to deal with it in the immediate future, which is passive.
Chi Jingdong believes that the merger and reorganization of the iron and steel industry is of great significance to the stable and sustainable development of the iron and steel industry in the future. He stressed that reorganization is not the purpose of steel enterprises, but the means and measures of product market competition, and that merger and reorganization must be carried out. Internationally, there were hundreds of steel enterprises in Japan in the 1950s and 1960s, and hundreds and thousands of steel enterprises in the United States in the past. After fierce competition and game in the market, the final result was highly concentrated.
"The low concentration of iron and steel industry is unfavorable for the next step of sustainable development. It has been put on the agenda to promote the rationalization of industrial structure and layout by improving the concentration of industry. How to coordinate the development of iron and steel production capacity with the regional economy, and how to develop harmoniously with the city? Especially how to solve the problem of homogenization and vicious competition? It may be something you need to consider in the next few years. "Chi Jingdong said.
