National Development and Reform Commission predicts that the petrochemical industry will develop faster this year

At the National Economic Development and Reform Commission’s press conference on the economic situation in 2006 held on January 29, Zhu Hongren, deputy director of the Economic Operation Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in response to a question from the China Chemical News reporter that the petroleum and chemical industries have remained very good last year. In addition to the loss in the refining sector, the mid-stream and downstream companies in the petroleum and chemical industries have achieved better results. In 2007, the petroleum and chemical industries will have a relatively rapid growth in balance.

Zhu Hongren said that the petroleum and chemical industry is the country's economic pillar and the basic industry of the national economy. In 2006, the economic index of China's petroleum and chemical industries grew rapidly, with a profit of 443.5 billion yuan, an increase of 17.9% over the previous year. At the end of 2006, in accordance with its commitment when joining the World Trade Organization, China opened its refined oil wholesale market to foreign capital, which signified that China’s petroleum and petrochemical sector is fully open to foreign investment. China's petroleum and petrochemical companies are facing a full range of competition from home and abroad. The world's top 500 large-scale oil and petrochemical companies have almost all invested in factories or sites in China, and have fully entered all areas of China's upstream, downstream, and mid-stream industries in addition to wholesale.

According to data provided by the National Development and Reform Commission, last year's industrial production maintained a steady and rapid growth, and the industrial added value of above-scale industries increased by 16.6% year-on-year. The major industrial industries have realized an overall increase in profits. The newly added profits were too concentrated in the upstream industry. The newly added profits of coal, petrochemicals, metallurgy, non-ferrous metals, and building materials accounted for 51.1% of all new profits, a decrease of 16 percentage points year-on-year. The profitability of industrial enterprises has been enhanced. The profit rate of sales revenue was 6.09%, which was a year-on-year increase of 0.27 percentage points.
