On January 27, the National Bureau of Statistics released the profit data for China's large-scale industrial enterprises in 2012. According to the report, the total profit reached 555.78 billion yuan, representing a 5.3% year-on-year increase. The profit in December alone was 895.2 billion yuan, showing a significant growth of 17.3% compared to the same period last year. This sustained profitability has played a crucial role in stabilizing and reviving the overall industrial economy.
In an interview with reporters, industry analysts noted that achieving a 5.3% growth in industrial profits in 2012 was no small feat. The industrial sector had been experiencing a weak performance, but recent data such as the Producer Price Index (PPI), Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), and industrial output indicate signs of recovery. This positive trend reflects the effectiveness of policies aimed at promoting steady economic growth and signals a gradual shift toward more sustainable industrial development.
Looking at the breakdown by enterprise type, state-owned and state-controlled enterprises saw a 5.1% decline in profits, reaching 1,416.3 billion yuan. Collective enterprises, on the other hand, recorded a 7.5% increase, reaching 81.9 billion yuan. Joint-stock enterprises reported a 7.2% rise in profits, totaling 3,286.7 billion yuan. Foreign-invested enterprises from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan experienced a 4.1% drop, with profits at 1,268.8 billion yuan. Private enterprises, however, performed well, with a 20% year-on-year increase, reaching 1,817.2 billion yuan.
Among the 41 major industrial sectors, 29 saw profit growth, while 11 faced declines, and one sector moved from loss to profit. This mixed performance highlights both progress and challenges within the industrial landscape.
Despite the positive momentum, experts warned that the road ahead remains challenging. Issues such as overcapacity, heavy tax burdens, and rising capital costs continue to hinder industrial growth. The need for transformation and upgrading is more urgent than ever.
Zhu Hong, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasized that overcapacity is not solely a market-driven issue. It is also linked to institutional structures, development models, and management practices. He pointed out that reforms in energy, resources, and land markets are still incomplete, limiting the market’s ability to efficiently allocate resources. Additionally, the unclear role of enterprises as investment entities and the lack of a sound approval system contribute to the problem.
To address overcapacity, Zhu Hong outlined a comprehensive strategy based on the principles of "respecting rules, differentiated policies, multi-pronged approaches, and pilot projects." The goal is to "digest, transfer, integrate, and eliminate" excess capacity through coordinated efforts. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology aims to implement these measures effectively and achieve tangible results in the near future.
