Development and Reform Commission: Intro

The price reform of source products will continue to promote the launch of residential ladder pricing pricing for refined oil products in the first half of the year. This will not allow enterprises to further streamline the relationship between the government and the market this year, and better play the basic role of market allocation of resources; further rationalize the central government and Local governments and governments at various levels of financial distribution relations, improve the system of fiscal transfer payments, reform and improve the tax system and other links; further rationalize the relationship between the urban and rural areas, and promote the reform of the management system; further deepen the reform of the social sector, mainly to deepen Reform of the income distribution system, deepening the reform of the system.

On March 28, Peng Sen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced the content of resource prices reform this year at the "National Economic System Reform Working Conference." He said that it is inaccurate to state that the refined oil pricing power should be given to enterprises. According to the new pricing mechanism, the refined oil price is still the government-guided price, and the relevant companies will adjust the oil price in accordance with the market changes and the principles set by the government's guiding price in a timely manner in accordance with relevant mechanisms. The government price control department must strengthen supervision. At present, the international oil price fluctuated at a high level. The idea behind the new refined oil pricing mechanism is to shorten the price adjustment cycle, improve the price adjustment operation mode, and increase the transparency of the operation of the mechanism. It is necessary to introduce oil prices at a stable or falling price, and it must be approved by the central government prior to introduction. Extensive solicitation of social opinions.

According to Peng Sen, this year we must advance reforms by rationalizing the relationship between the four aspects. The first is to further rationalize the relationship between the government and the market and better play the basic role of the market in allocating resources. The major reforms in this area are to speed up the reform of the administrative system, improve the market mechanism of factor markets and the formation mechanism of price for resource products, and deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises and monopoly industries. The second is to further rationalize the financial distribution relations between the central government and local governments and governments at all levels so as to better mobilize the enthusiasm of the central and local governments. The major reforms involved are the rationalization of the distribution relations among governments, the improvement of financial transfer payments, and the reform and improvement of the taxation system. The third is to further rationalize the relationship between urban and rural areas and promote the coordinated development of industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization. Among them, we must deepen the reform of the land management system, improve the institutional mechanisms for rural development, and promote the reform of the ** management system. The fourth is to further rationalize the relationship between economic development and social development, deepen reform in the social sector, and promote social harmony, stability, and fairness and justice. The main purpose is to deepen the reform of the income distribution system, deepen the reform of the system, and deepen institutional reforms such as education, science, technology, culture, and health.

Peng Sen said that this year we must continue to deepen the price reform of resource products. After the residents' ladder price plan was formulated last year and widely solicited opinions from the community, some further adjustments have been made. The overall plan has been announced after the approval of the State Council. Due to the large gap between residents' electricity consumption in different regions, local governments can make decisions based on their respective situations. After local plans have been finalized, they can further listen to opinions through hearings, and they are launched in an orderly manner in the first half of this year. Reform of the natural gas price formation mechanism should be a good pilot work, and gradually rationalize the relationship between natural gas and alternative energy prices. It is necessary to select regions with qualified conditions to conduct trials of online bidding, improve the pricing mechanism for hydropower and nuclear power, and further rationalize the relationship between coal and electricity prices.
