The second C919 large passenger plane completed its first flight at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport on December 17, another important progress made by China's COMAC after the first aircraft was transferred to Xi'an in November, meaning two C919s have entered the test flight State, the project entered the full test test flight phase.According to the project plan, C919 development will put into six test flight test flight test, two aircraft ground test.This is the first time our country on the 150-seat mainline aircraft airworthiness verification, C919 Passenger aircraft will face China's aviation industry's highest level test flight test.
On June 26, the "EMERGENCY" Chinese standard EMU trains, independently designed and developed by China independently, with independent intellectual property rights, was started in bidirectional by the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Rail and was developed by China Railway Corporation. It has complete independent intellectual property rights and reached the advanced level in the world Horizontal Chinese standard EMU.
Since the beginning of this year, under the background that the external economic situation is still grim and our country's economic development has entered a new normal, the machinery industry has always insisted on the principle of making progress while maintaining stability. At the core of implementing innovation-driven strategy, the machinery industry has continued to promote steady growth, structural adjustment and promotion Transformation, make up for shortcomings, increase benefits, to achieve a steady and healthy development.
According to the latest statistics from China Machinery Industry Federation, from January to November this year, the added value of machinery industry increased by 10.8% over the same period of the previous year, up 4.2 and 3.6 percentage points from the national industry and manufacturing respectively over the same period, 1.2 percentage points higher than that of machinery industry over the same period of previous year. From January to October, revenue from main business reached 21 trillion yuan, up 10.47% from the same period of previous year, 3.25% higher than the same period of last year, with a total profit of 1.43 trillion yuan, up 13.2% from the same period of last year and 6.01% higher than the same period of last year.
In terms of import and export, the total import and export volume of China's machinery industry was 576.746 billion U.S. dollars, up 9.65 percent over the same period of last year; among which, the import was 248.038 billion U.S. dollars, up 12.79 percent over the same period of last year; the export was 328.78 billion U.S. dollars, up 7.4% from the same period of last year; and the trade surplus was 80.671 billion U.S. dollars. The situation of the year-on-year drop in the growth rate of the foreign trade in the previous year.
Among the 119 main products monitored by China Machinery Industry Federation, 88 were achieved year-on-year growth, accounting for 73.94%. From January to November, the production and sales of automobiles were 25,998,800 and 25,844,900, respectively, up from the same period of previous year 3.88% and 3.59% respectively. At the same time, the transformation and upgrading of the industry as a whole progressed further. The economic benefits of the industry and the quality of economic operation continued to improve, and the trend of balanced development in the industry was favorable.
It is noteworthy that the growth rate of investment in fixed assets in the machinery industry maintained a low level.In the first 10 months of this year, the total investment in fixed assets of the machinery industry was 4,240.150 billion yuan, up 3.35% from the same period of previous year, 2.61 percentage points higher than the same period of previous year (0.74%), The growth rate of investment in fixed assets over the same period of the whole society was 3.95 percentage points (7.3%), 0.75 percentage point lower than that of manufacturing (4.1%), and the growth rate remained at a low level.
'The worries of stability can not be ignored.' China Machinery Industry Federation, Wang Ruixiang said that the main investment in fixed assets is still running low, business operating costs and raw material prices growth pressure is still large. The industry has accumulated structural contradictions have not yet The fundamental changes, the market downturn, insufficient orders, overcapacity in some industries, as well as industrial, technological transformation and slow investment in private sectors will adversely affect the smooth and healthy development of the machinery industry.
China Machinery Industry Federation, the person in charge of analysis, the machinery industry is facing three major factors: First, the main economic indicators of the machinery industry growth picked up steadily; order situation is stable, no signs of dramatic changes; the second is the transformation and upgrading of the machinery industry Although far from complete, but has been advancing, and achieved some success, the toughness of the machinery industry is growing; Third, the automotive industry, electrical appliances, petrochemical industry, general parts industry is still an important support for the machinery industry. Automotive, electrical The electrical appliance industry will be affected by the elevation of the base in 2017 and the growth rate will drop in 2018. The general petrochemical industry and the mechanical basic parts industry will maintain their smooth operation.
Machinery industry is also facing many unfavorable factors.First, the situation is relatively good this year, next year's state investment funds to weaken the Fund, even if the intensity is not reduced, the stimulus effect may also decline; Second, the growth of trucks and construction machinery next year will be in this year High on the basis of the fall; the third is expected that the leading electrical products industry (power generation equipment and UHV power transmission equipment) production and marketing situation next year will be more difficult.
In addition, the automobile industry will withdraw its preferential purchase tax policy next year and its consumption environment will become increasingly harsh, all of which will have an inhibitory effect on automobile consumption and an increasingly uncertainties in overseas markets. Next year, automobile production and sales will continue to maintain a low growth rate lower than this year's level.
China Machinery Industry Federation expects that the main business revenue will reach 27 trillion yuan for the whole year of 2017, the industrial added value and revenue will all increase by 10% and the trade surplus will be close to 100 billion U.S. dollars. It is expected to be relatively stable in 2018, Growth is expected to be slightly lower than this year.
