Sharon in titled "to carry out the new development concept Promote the development of high quality iron and steel industry, "said in a speech, since this year, according to the CPC Central Committee and the State Council decision deployment, the relevant departments issued by the solid steady economic package of policy measures, through the joint efforts of the iron and steel industry in the first half of the iron and steel industry in general realized the smooth running, In general, there are six characteristics of crude steel production reduction development, steel production mainly meets the demand of domestic market, steel inventory growth, domestic iron ore production keeps growing, the number of imported iron ore is declining, and the industry benefit is declining.

He also pointed out that recently, due to the complex and severe international environment and the repeated epidemic in China, the Chinese economy is facing great downward pressure, and the stable operation of the steel industry faces daunting challenges. In the future, to promote the high-quality development of the steel industry to focus on five tasks: first, prohibit the new steel capacity. Second, reduce crude steel output. Third, we will promote merger and reorganization. Fourth, we will promote green and low-carbon transformation. Fifth, increase domestic iron ore development.

In his speech, Mr. Zhang affirmed the steel industry's performance in the face of tough conditions in the first half of this year. He said the steel industry has shown strong industrial resilience in the face of difficulties. He encouraged steel companies to strengthen their confidence, stay true to their original aspiration and maintain perseverance to ensure stable operation of the industry.

In view of the current development situation of the iron and steel industry, Zhang Haidong proposed three suggestions: first, we should put forth effort to promote the steady growth of iron and steel industry, development is still the basis and key to solve all our country's problems. Second, we must strive to improve the quality of development and ensure that the quality of development is effective. Third, we will strictly implement the capacity replacement policy and implement the capacity replacement method. The purpose is to give full play to the role of the market mechanism in cutting overcapacity, promote the transformation of the industry from scale expansion to improving the quality and efficiency of development, and establish a dynamic balance between supply and demand.

Zhang Dawei in the title of "firm confidence and steady progress in the implementation of high quality steel industry ultra-low emission transformation" speech pointed out that the country to promote the steel enterprise ultra-low emission transformation has been after 3 years, practice has proved that the steel industry ultra-low emission policy, effectively promoted the high-quality development of the steel industry, It has made many achievements, such as obvious improvement of air quality in areas with concentrated steel production capacity, remarkable effect of industrial restructuring in the steel industry, green transformation of transportation leading the industrial field, and rapid improvement of the overall governance level of iron and steel enterprises.

He suggested that steel enterprises should maintain strategic focus, continue to implement high-quality ultra-low emission transformation, in the process of promoting the implementation of ultra-low emission transformation must do "four want four don't", that is, to mature and reliable technology, do not mix the eyes of the pearl; Pollution and carbon reduction should be coordinated, rather than treating the symptoms without addressing the root causes. Time is subject to quality, not haste; We should support the good and eliminate the bad, and not allow bad money to drive out good money. He hoped that steel companies will make good use of a series of supportive policies introduced by the country to actively, prudently and with high quality promote ultra-low emission transformation.

In the keynote speech titled "With one heart, strive to move forward, and welcome the convening of the Party's 20th National Congress with the excellent achievements of steady growth of the iron and Steel industry", He Wenbo introduced the economic operation of the iron and steel industry and the implementation of key work in the first half of the year, deeply analyzed the current situation of the industry, and put forward the key tasks for the second half of the year. He also conveyed the judgment of President Chan Duk-wing on the current situation and the requirements for the next step.

He Wenbo pointed out that in the first half of this year, the operation of the steel industry mainly presents five characteristics: first, the market demand is lower than expected, crude steel production decreased year-on-year. Second, the volume of steel exports decreased year-on-year, the export price is higher than the import price. Third, the domestic steel prices from rising to falling, raw material costs continue to be high. Fourth, the structure of assets and liabilities continued to be optimized, but the efficiency of enterprises declined significantly. Fifth, remarkable results were achieved in energy conservation and emission reduction, and environmental protection indicators continued to improve.

Wen-bo he said that in the first half of this year, facing the complex situation, heavy task, iron and steel industry efforts to achieve a complete, accurate, comprehensive implementation of new development concept, industry work around "focus on upgrading industrial base ability and industrial modernization level that a basic task, adhere to the green, low carbon development, intelligent manufacture development theme, and industry to solve the three spot, Control capacity expansion, promote industrial concentration, and ensure resource security; Continue to promote the internationalization process of China's iron and steel industry "four sentences of work direction and focus, adhere to the problem-oriented, goal-oriented, results-oriented, concentrated industry strength and superior resources, and strive to overcome difficulties, pioneering and enterprising, the work of the industry has made new progress. First, the "double control" of production capacity and output achieved actual results. Second, the Cornerstone Plan was implemented. Third, we carried out green and low-carbon work in an orderly manner. 4) Progress was made in scientific and technological innovation. 5) Smart manufacturing continued to advance. Sixth, epidemic prevention and control, production and business operations.

He also stressed that the current situation facing the steel industry is extremely complex and the challenges are unprecedented. In the first half of the year, due to the demand obviously less than expected, crude steel output decreased by 6.5% year on year, operating revenue decreased by 4.65% year on year, total profit decreased by 55.47% year on year, the loss area is gradually expanding, many enterprises began to launch emergency response business mode. From the perspective of the industry, 2021 is the best business performance of China's iron and steel industry in the year, but into 2022, the business situation of the industry has turned sharply downward, which indicates that the volatility cycle of the iron and steel industry is further shortened, the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry must be from both sides of supply and demand at the same time, demand is still the decisive factor. Looking forward to the second half of the year, as the overall economic situation gradually stabilizes and various measures to ensure growth are gradually implemented, the iron and steel industry will play a further role in the overall economic and social development, and realize transformation and upgrading and high-quality development in the adjustment of demand structure. In the second half of the year, infrastructure construction will continue to make strength, machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding and other industries continue to pick up the trend, but the recovery of real estate, home appliances, containers and other industries is still uncertain, demand may not improve as expected. Combined with the high production costs of iron ore, coking coal and coke, tightened environmental protection control and increased financing costs, it is further difficult for the iron and steel industry to improve the operation quality and efficiency.

He Wenbo further explained the analysis of the current situation of the industry and a few views. He believes that the difficulties and challenges facing the steel industry are global, the contradiction between the supply and consumption of the steel industry is long-term, the industrial pattern will be reconstructed is inevitable, the steel industry to deal with market challenges is tested.

He Wenbo pointed out that based on the current, for some new trends in the iron and steel industry, especially in the production and operation of the severe situation, we should attach great importance to, carefully study. On the basis of the situation, iron and steel enterprises must have a rational judgment to the market, the choice of reality, active coping, industry self-discipline to action, jointly maintain the market order, at the same time, focus on new materials, new construction, new areas, new forms of consumption structure of the new change, through restructuring and technological innovation, enhance competitiveness and ability to resist risks.

In the face of major changes in the industry operation situation, He Wenbo proposed the iron and steel industry in the second half of the year to focus on eight key tasks. First, strengthen industry self-discipline and maintain industry order. Second, improve the efficiency of the industry to achieve high efficiency of the industry. Third, conscientiously carry out industry operation monitoring and analysis, promote the coordinated development of the industrial chain. Fourth, we need to implement the Cornerstone Plan and strengthen resource security. Fifth, we need to make fundamental breakthroughs and promote green and low-carbon development. Sixth, strengthen industrial ecological collaboration, promote scientific and technological innovation and product application. Seventh, accelerate the international development of the industry to seek new development space for Chinese steel. Eighth, implement the action plan to improve the image of the industry and maintain and improve the image of the industry.

"Let's twist into a rope, riveting YiGuJin, 勠 concentric force, awake renewed Benedict, efforts to achieve the industry higher quality, more efficient, more fair, more sustainable, the development of safer, with excellent grades to meet the victory at the party's 20, in order to realize the second goal in one hundred, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation make new greater contributions of Chinese dream!" He Wenbo finally said.
