By the financial crisis, this year the coal market demand, which in our province the smooth operation of the coal industry brought about severe challenges, good timely limiting our province, the response to price, to secure the first two months of this year, the province's coal smooth operation of the economy. However, restrictions on production in the province to take, measures to protect the price at the same time, foreign enterprises are a number of coal a substantial increase in coal production, a time zone other provinces society caused a substantial increase in coal production and sales will be diverted coal province worried about market share. Faced with the complexity of the national coal market, the coal enterprises in our province "is left? Or right away?"

Zhejiang provinces by the impact of coal transportation

  This year, a series of expanding domestic demand as the country to protect the implementation of growth policies, the national macro economy has seen some positive changes. However, the impact of the global financial crisis has not yet bottomed out, the domestic economy has yet to bottom out, no increase in coal demand, coal production and production capacity in excess of the pressure is still relatively large, run the province's coal economy is still facing many uncertainties, the situation is still not optimistic.

  The face of an unfavorable market environment, our province coal production enterprises limit price strategy to deal with, and received the expected results. It is understood that in January-February, the province's coal production to achieve 70.47 million tons, up 7.4 million tons reduction, down 7.30 percent. On the lower coal production in the province, while domestic coal production growth has shown this year in January-February, a total raw coal output was 368.91 million tons, an increase of 11.54 million tons, an increase of 3.6%, which, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region increase in coal production reached 25.6%.

  Provincial Coal Industry Bureau stakeholders believe that the current situation of our province's coal sales impact is the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at the Eastern and Western coal production areas, including the eastern part of the production of lignite, coal less competitive First, weak, and the other is the flow of its sales and three provinces in Northeast China region, non-impacting the coal market in our province. The western region of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the coal market impact in our province, and in terms of cost, quality has obvious advantages, but because of the railway transport capacity constraints, limited immediate impact. This year in January-February, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to increase coal production in the western region, mainly in Shenhua.

Stock high coal community

  By the end of February this year, the national inventory of steel products primarily to the sharp increase in 2007 reached its highest level since. Iron and steel industry a new round of production, limited production is a foregone conclusion, and its demand for the coal industry will likely be repeated in the negative range. The rest of all products downstream industry to negative growth, such as coke -6.3% -7.8% caustic soda, calcium carbide -19.4% -12.2% soda ash, ammonia -1.2% -2.0% glass, 10 kinds of non-ferrous metals -9.5% , alumina -7.5% -7.8% power generation capacity, electricity enterprises -7.2%, the lower reaches of the national coal industry trend is still down, there is no obvious signs of warming, the demand for coal is still sluggish.

Although the lack of market demand for coal, but coal stocks were high society, in December last year, part of our province and country, and some coal-producing areas of coal enterprises to take measures in controlling the production has done a lot of work, but at the end of the 2 , the country's coal inventory remains high society, maintained at a high of 181.5 million tons.

  "Coal inventories high society, for the coal enterprises to run for some time to come, it is a dangerous signal." Provincial Coal Industry Bureau, said a person in charge of analysis, as well as in our province in the country's coal production, accounting for the local coal mine not a small proportion. As a result of pressure and total security control to carry out the work of many local coal mines have a longer period of time especially in the "2" and the "two sessions" were in production, rectification, and this is to maintain the basic stability of the coal market is currently an important factors. However, in the near future with the local coal mines have complex production, the market is bound to increase the total supply of coal, the coal market will have a greater balance between supply and demand pressures.

Large coal-producing province to establish communication and coordination mechanism

Out of our province is a major province of coal, coal price stability in a major economic impact on our province. According to estimates, sales of our province for one year 50 million tons less coal, tons of coal prices by 500 yuan, the loss of revenue is 25 billion yuan. Tons of coal and the prices in our province 100, according to the province's annual sales of 500 million tons of coal prices, it is a loss of 50 billion yuan of revenue.

Some people worry that production and sales of coal from other provinces district diverted a substantial increase in market share of coal in our province. However, for some time in the future of coal production and sales situation, the Provincial Coal Industry Bureau believes that market demand for coal remains in the doldrums, the blind may lead to increased production of coal prices have fallen sharply, the impact of the province's coal revenue. In our province this year, the total achieved by controlling the stability of coal prices. In the current international and domestic market demand, lack of coal, the coal is the total needs of the community must, and its output is bound to lead to a substantial increase in vicious competition, with the result that coal prices have fallen sharply, prices can not boost consumer spending, will not increase social demand, will affect its revenue.

In order to ensure that the province's economy steady coal price increase, the economy is stable, coal prices will be the provincial government proposed by the provincial government to come forward with major coal-producing province, region (Group) to coordinate over the years has become the " six provinces (regions) the second company "(ie: Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, the six provinces, autonomous regions and Shenhua, the two companies in the coal) on the basis of the joint meeting, the establishment of large coal-producing provinces, autonomous regions ( group) communication between senior leaders of the consultation mechanism, in view of the current coal market demand, high inventory grim situation, to strengthen communication and exchange of information, regular analysis of changes in market demand for coal, a common and reasonable to take measures to control coal production and sales volume, the maintenance of the coal market balance of supply and demand, and ensure the smooth development of the national economy.
