Bank Information Hong Kong News, 65438+1October 3, the reporter learned from official website of China Railway Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China Railway Corporation") that Lu Dongfu, Party Secretary and General Manager of China Railway Corporation, made a report on "Consolidating the Foundation, Improving Quality and Increasing Efficiency, and Strive to Create a New Situation in Railway Reform and Development" at the meeting of China Railway Corporation held that day.

Lu Dongfu emphasized that in 20 17, the railway head office should focus on eight aspects, including continuously promoting railway construction, promoting structural reform of transportation supply side, improving the efficiency of railway capital operation, and carrying out mixed ownership reform, among which the development of mixed ownership reform was particularly concerned by the market, and high-speed rail stocks also rose sharply that day.

Since the Ministry of Railways issued a document in 2005 to encourage private capital to enter the railway, the general manager of China Railway has repeatedly mentioned mixed reform on different occasions. Especially after 20 12, from the State Council to the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and then to the company level, documents on accelerating the reform of railway investment and financing system and encouraging social capital investment have been issued continuously. However, little progress has been made in the reform of China Railway Corporation. A transportation industry analyst said that the reasons why China Railway could not complete the mixed reform were complicated and had institutional reasons.

However, there may be an obvious breakthrough in the mixed reform of iron in 20 17. The State Council issued "Opinions on the Development of Mixed Ownership Economy by State-owned Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions") in June 20 15, and the mixed reform was placed in an unprecedented prominent position by the central government. Among them, the Opinions regards railway as one of the seven pilot areas to promote the reform of mixed ownership. Recently, it was reported that China Railway was included in the second batch of pilot list of mixed ownership reform of central enterprises.

Wang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a railway expert, told this newspaper that at present, some provinces, feeder lines and special lines have carried out mixed reform pilot projects in various ways, and the railway mixed reform will be promoted in a pilot way. The mixed reform scheme has been designed and is expected to be launched soon.

"Large railway projects are still arranged by the state as a whole"

Wang told this newspaper, "As far as the mixed reform plan is concerned, large-scale railway projects are still arranged by the state as a whole and will not be released this time. But now, in order to avoid redundant construction, some provincial railways begin to plan themselves. Such feeder railways are generally around 100 km, or even shorter, and can be mixed and reformed. Generally speaking, technical standards and operation are still up to themselves, railway construction can be liberalized and railway design institutes can participate. It may also involve private capital. At present, many provinces and cities have carried out mixed reforms in this area in various ways, which can be controlled by private capital or local governments. Some special lines can be built by enterprises. "

At the meeting that day, Lu Dongfu said on the content of mixed reform, "It is necessary to standardize and implement the rights and responsibilities of railway two-level main enterprises, promote the capitalization of railway assets, carry out mixed ownership reform, increase comprehensive management and development, and strive to improve the operating efficiency of railway enterprises."
