* The Economic Work Conference requires that local debt risk resolution and stable development be coordinated, and major economic provinces should really take the lead and make greater contributions to stabilizing the national economy.
This year, the external environment is more complex, risks and hidden dangers are intertwined and superimposed, factor constraints are increasingly prominent, and the economic provinces have good conditions, strong strength and strong breakthrough capabilities, and have the responsibility to take on more heavy burdens under the severe situation.
Shandong is a major economic province. In August 2022, the "Opinions on Supporting Shandong to Deepen the Conversion of Old and New Kinetic Energy to Promote Green, Low-Carbon and High-Quality Development" was issued, making it clear that Shandong is "an important industrial base in China and a strategic fulcrum for the economic development of the northern region", with an important position. In August 2022, the symposium of the main persons in charge of the major economic provinces held in Shenzhen proposed that the major economic provinces should bravely take the lead and play a key supporting role in stabilizing the economy, with 6 provinces participating, and Shandong is one of them. Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong and other six provinces are the provinces with the highest GDP and the most populous provinces, accounting for 45% of the country's total economic output and about 40% of the country's total population, which is the "pillar" of the country's economic development.
The fact that a large economic province "takes the lead" is reflected in the fact that the total economic volume should be large. Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the slow recovery of the international and domestic markets after the epidemic, Shandong has sought development opportunities in difficulties, and realized the economic responsibility of a large province in the first three quarters. According to the results of the unified accounting of regional GDP, the GDP of Shandong Province in the first three quarters was 6,812.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60%, the growth rate of the province's GDP is higher than the national 08 percentage points, showing the resilience and confidence of the provincial economy.
Separately, the agricultural foundation is solid, and the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in the first three quarters of the province was 8819100 million yuan, calculated on a comparable basis, an increase of 4 over the same period last year9%；In the first three quarters of this year, the province took the industrial economy as the "number one project", and 33 of the 41 major industries achieved growth, with a growth area of 805%。The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 7 percent year-on-year1%, of which, in September, increased by 75%；The service industry continued to rebound, and from January to August, the operating income of the province's service industry increased by 3 percent year-on-year7%, respectively, compared with January-June, January-July9 percentage points, the growth rate rebounded faster.
The "big beam" of a major economic province is more reflected in the high quality of development. "We must take adhering to high-quality development as the last word in the new era", which is a deepening of "development is the last word" and a realistic response to "development is the first priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country".
High-quality development emphasizes economic quality and efficiency. In 2018, the establishment of Shandong New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Comprehensive Pilot Zone was approved, which is the first regional development strategy comprehensive pilot zone in China with the theme of new and old kinetic energy conversionIn August 2022, the "Opinions on Supporting Shandong to Deepen the Conversion of Old and New Kinetic Energy to Promote Green, Low-Carbon and High-Quality Development" was issued, once again giving Shandong the major mission of building a green, low-carbon and high-quality development pilot zone.
The first one is to demonstrate the conversion of kinetic energy for the whole countryThe "Pilot Zone" is a demonstration for the country's green, low-carbon and high-quality development. In layman's terms, Shandong should undertake the important task of "proofing" for the high-quality development of the country. In January this year, the "Three-Year Action Plan for Building a Green, Low-Carbon and High-Quality Development Pilot Zone in Shandong Province (2023-2025)" was issued, and Shandong implemented the national strategic requirements, with the theme of promoting high-quality development, the central task of deepening the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, the formation of green and low-carbon production and lifestyle as the main direction, and reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, and strive to create a new situation in the construction of a strong socialist modern province in the new era.
Shandong accelerates the elimination of backward production capacity. In the five years of conversion of old and new kinetic energy, the province has treated more than 110,000 "scattered and polluted" enterprises, reduced the number of chemical parks from 199 to 84, increased the admission rate of chemical enterprises from less than 20% to 38%, integrated and withdrawn from the local refining capacity of 23.52 million tons, and reduced coking capacity of 18.66 million tons.
Shandong has promoted the action of strengthening the province in advanced manufacturing industry and accelerated the construction of a modern industrial system. On November 30, the province's new industrialization promotion conference was held in Jinan, requiring high-end, intelligent, green, and clustering as the direction, focusing on accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and enhancing core competitiveness, and taking reform and opening up as the driving force.
High-end, intelligent, green and clustered are the direction of Shandong's industrial manufacturing efforts in recent years. In terms of high-end, the petrochemical industry is a key area, Shandong promotes more major petrochemical projects to be included in the national planning layout, with Yantai Yulong Island, Qingdao Dongjiakou, Dongying, Heze Dongming and other industrial agglomeration areas as the main body, to accelerate the construction of a world-class high-end chemical industry base, and the high-end chemical industry operating income accounts for more than 50% by the end of the year.
Intelligent development, Shandong focuses on metallurgy, chemical industry, light industry, building materials, textiles and garments, machinery and other six traditional advantageous industries, promotes "10,000 technological transformation, 10,000 enterprise transformation", and gives full play to the enabling role of the industrial Internet. On November 28, the Information Office of Shandong Province held a press conference to introduce the construction of a "zero-waste city" in Shandong: in 2022, the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size in the province will decrease by 15 compared with 20204%, the water consumption per 10,000 yuan of industrial added value decreased by 7 compared with 2020More than 52% have made a strong demonstration for the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the national industry.
Green development, energy conservation and emission reduction in the whole process of raw material transportation, production and sales. In July this year, China's first million-ton, 100-kilometer high-pressure and room-temperature dense phase carbon dioxide transmission pipeline - "Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield Million-ton CCUS Project" carbon dioxide transmission pipeline was officially put into operation, so that the whole process of CO capture, transportation, utilization and storage is sealed, which can reduce the driving loss of 40,000 tankers every year and save about 2 million cubic meters of natural gas for vehicles.
Cluster development, relying on scale and chain, to achieve intensive development. Taking Weichai as an example, as a "chain master" enterprise, it has built the "first-class chain" into a "win-win chain", and has jointly built a "R&D community" with more than 130 upstream and downstream enterprises around the world, and built an industrial innovation ecosystem with powertrain as the core. From 2020 to 2022, the thermal efficiency of Weichai's diesel engine body exceeded %, setting a world record for three consecutive times, enhancing China's power in the field of internal combustion engines in the world. Its own strength is strong, and the radiation drives the common development of supporting industries. Cheng Jingsheng, general manager of Henan Xixia County Internal Combustion Engine Intake and Exhaust Pipe Co., Ltd., said that the company has cooperated with Weichai Power for 35 years, and with the growth of Weichai Power, it has also become a leading enterprise, with an average annual production of more than 7 million exhaust pipes, of which more than 20% are for Weichai Power.
Green, low-carbon and high-quality development, with good comprehensive indicators such as economy and financial resources, have enabled Shandong to better assume the role of "leading the way" in the country. From October 20th to 21st, the provincial financial operation analysis meeting for the first three quarters was held in Linyi. At the meeting, the responsible comrade of the Provincial Department of Finance said, "The financial operation is stable, and the work has achieved phased results. "On October 23, the Provincial Information Office held a press conference to show that the financial guarantee is strong. In the first three quarters, the province achieved a general public budget revenue of 5,853200 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 58%。General public budget expenditure 9263300 million yuan, an increase of 18%。
It is a heavy responsibility to "go ahead and open a new situation", focus on the future, undertake the positioning task of China's important industrial base and the strategic fulcrum of economic development in the northern region, and give full play to the leading role in the major national strategy of the Yellow River. 2023 has come to an end, and Shandong is confident that it will go all out to win the "closing battle", complete the expected annual GDP target, and meet the challenges of the new year.
