Prevent the price of raw materials such as paper from rising sharply! More than 30 members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference made joint proposals!
Since the second half of 2020, the price of white cardboard has rapidly risen from the bottom of 5400 yuan/ton to 8,000 yuan/ton, and even hit the 10,000 yuan mark after the Spring Festival, an increase of nearly 100%. Driven by the price of white cardboard, other paper types such as coated paper, double offset paper, and specialty paper have also risen. In fact, the price of paper is not only rising rapidly, but other raw materials are also rising. The problem of soaring raw materials is receiving widespread attention from the inside and outside the industry.
A few days ago, more than 30 CPPCC members, with Hu Dezhao, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of Baiyun Electric, as the first sponsor, jointly submitted a proposal on preventing the skyrocketing of raw materials and maintaining the six stability and six guarantees.
part of the content is as follows:
1. The phenomenon and impact of the price increase of basic raw materials
According to research on financial media and various industry trends, domestic commodities have continued to rise since June last year. Integrated circuits soared by more than 100%, paper prices by 50%, zinc alloys by 48%, stainless steel prices by 45%, copper prices by 38%, aluminum prices by 37%, plastics by 35%, iron prices by 30%, and glass by 30%. %.
After the Spring Festival holiday, the price of raw materials continues to jump wildly by 20%-30%. Chemical raw materials have soared wildly, and some of the prices have risen by more than 10,000 yuan/ton year-on-year. The plastic circle has skyrocketed and hit a new high. The price of industrial base paper has risen unprecedentedly. Special papers have generally risen by 1,000 yuan/ton after the Spring Festival, and some paper types are even disposable. Jump up to 3000 yuan/ton. The price of textile and chemical fiber has been adjusted across the board. Compared with the low price in 2020, the price of spandex has risen by nearly 80%. The prices of industrial ribbed copper pipes and copper plates are close to the historical highs set in 2011, which has had a strong impact on many industries. The prices of other bulk commodities such as nickel, tin, aluminum and iron ore have soared to multi-year highs.
It is normal for the cost of traditional manufacturing materials to account for more than 70-80%. The vicious price increase of raw materials makes small and medium-sized enterprises miserable and puts the "six stability" and "six guarantees" under great pressure.
The SME owner cries: all production materials are increasing in price, and downstream customers are unwilling to increase prices. Life is particularly sad! Some materials are monopolistic sellers' market, and the first-level rises sharply, deviating from the normal price, resulting in cost The price is still higher than the product price, and some companies choose to charge back the order for compensation, and some companies are in trouble because the order price cannot cover the cost.
If the raw materials soaring in this round cannot be controlled in time, it may cause economic and social risks and affect the smooth start of the "14th Five-Year Plan", which is no less than a new round of "economic epidemic." The frantic rise of various commodities has caused the Chinese manufacturing industry, which is currently seriously insufficient in domestic consumer demand and high in corporate debt, as a result of the inability of physical enterprises to control costs, and the chaos of production and operation, which has brought a fatal blow to sustained and stable operations.
The current surge in raw materials has severely disrupted the normal economic order and runs counter to high-quality development. The soaring prices of raw materials have severely disrupted the normal economic order.
2. Specific measures to regulate the price hike and maintain the six stability and six guarantees
First, the State Council takes the lead in setting up an inspection team to carry out special inspections on the implementation of the "six stability" and "six guarantees" policies and influencing factors. The provinces and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce organize investigations into the impact of rising raw material prices on various industries and listen to the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises. Problems encountered by enterprises in stabilizing production and employment.
Second, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Market Supervision Administration conduct panoramic monitoring of the price increase of raw materials, macro-control raw material price fluctuations that violate market laws, track and monitor the hot money that enters the bulk raw material field, and maliciously abuse market dominance. Companies that have raised prices implement anti-monopoly investigations.
Third, encourage basic industrial raw materials to strengthen industry self-discipline to maintain price order, organize industry associations to conduct in-depth research, encourage industry associations to advocate for companies to maintain stable material prices, form a price linkage mechanism for upstream and downstream industries, and encourage companies to establish performance prices when signing contracts Link with the pricing of raw materials to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of both the supply and demand parties are protected.
Fourth, the Ministry of Commerce coordinated the negotiation of the prices of raw materials in the international market, organized the national team for joint procurement, and the government and commerce departments coordinated to communicate and carry out international negotiations on the import prices of bulk commodities that are highly dependent on foreign imports, so as to maintain the fairness and fairness of domestic basic raw materials. The price level.
Call on the Party Central Committee and the State Council to adopt market mechanisms and macro-control measures simultaneously, conduct law enforcement supervision and inspection in accordance with the "Price Law", and conduct price verification based on upstream and downstream products, and combine self-inspection and supervision to prevent hoarding and drive up raw materials and basic industrial products. Price, strictly monitor the price index of industrial raw materials and bulk commodities, prevent raw materials from skyrocketing, maintain six stability and six guarantees, and promote the high-quality development of China's economy.
