National development and reform measures of price stability, national gas prices much plan emergency braking. Currently, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Henan gas price adjustments, such as brewing has been suspended by the provinces. Hebei province price Bureau emphasized that the natural gas price hike not before the end of this year. Anhui Province also published notice requirements prior to the end of March next year, with the exception of national unity of the adjusting items, provincial suspension increases heating, water supply, gas, city buses and other public service price.
"Pause" natural gas prices, this is a difficult decision, but also a correct decision.
Said the decision to "difficult", because the price, including natural gas resources energy price reform is the Government has been promoting an important work, it relates to energy-saving emission reduction and changing the way of development. Just six months ago, the State Council issued by the further intensify efforts to ensure the realization of the "eleventh five-year" energy-saving emission reduction target of notification of requirement, deepen the reform of energy prices, adjust the gas prices, the implementation of residential electricity price ladder. Subsequently, the national development and Reform Commission also issued a Declaration on the adjustment of the natural gas pipeline transportation: notice of price, according to the different gas transmission distance, the existing pipeline transportation price per cubic metre rise 0.08 element, which actually opened the curtains of the natural gas price hikes. Over the past few months, Governments are redoubling as natural gas and other energy prices upward ready ...
But the price of natural gas "pause" decision is correct, as natural gas and other energy resources price hike in outdated products. Half-year report, "current international commodity prices rose sharply lower probability, China's domestic inflationary pressures are not great ... This is the resource commodities price reform provides a more relaxed environment. "But now the situation has completely changed. Inflation brings the agricultural price increases, has affected the normal life of the residents, the State Council therefore adopted a series of measures to control, 17, a State Council Executive meeting or even the "necessary vital necessities of life and means of implementing price temporary interventions".
Inflation, the Government used the "invisible hand" of the regulation of the market price, then the hands of the "useful" control the price of government management, the "hands" grasping, is very necessary. In fact, 17 June, the State Council Executive meeting was clear: "hold the Government to manage the price adjustment timing, rhythm and intensity. Keep the gas price stability. ”
Of course, the "suspend" does not mean that the "stop". As a result of including energy resources have long been underestimated factor cost, causing a energy resources of the great waste and inefficiency, deepen the reform of energy prices, the increase in energy prices, is imperative. But there is clearly not the right time. This conclusion does not only apply to the above has decided to "suspend natural gas prices" of several provinces, which are applicable in the country.
