the economic situation at home and abroad is complicated, China's economic growth rate is slowing down, and major coal-using industries such as steel,

electric power

are in a situation of industry-wide losses, near-zero growth or even negative growth, coal imports have increased substantially, coal prices have continued to fall, and

the market situation is very grim.

from the macro environment,

the process of world economic recovery is not optimistic, and

there is basically downward pressure on the macro economy.

The international financial crisis and the European debt crisis are repeatedly fermented,

the external economic recovery is slow,

and there is great uncertainty,

the short-term internal and external

pulling effect will not change greatly.

under the influence of long-term factors such as resource and environmental constraints,

deep adjustment of industrial structure,

prevention of financial turmoil

risks, the task of "adjusting structure and changing mode" for coal enterprises is arduous, and there is still greater

downward pressure on economic operation. From the perspective of coal market, the international market demand is weak and persistent, the domestic gross surplus, structural imbalance and environmental protection constraints will make the traditional energy industry face greater pressure, and the business pressure of enterprises will continue to increase.

Looking back on recent years, the domestic coal industry has completely bid farewell to the

"

golden age

"

, coal prices have fallen, and the profits of coal enterprises have shrunk.

It is mainly manifested in the following four aspects:

First, the slowdown in coal demand is accelerating.

judging from the development of major coal consumption industries in China, the output growth of products in four major industries, namely,

electric power,

metallurgy,

building materials and chemical industry, has dropped sharply, and the demand for coal has greatly decreased. The growth rate of coal consumption has dropped from more than 9% in the previous 1 years to about 2.6% at present. Second, the pressure of coal overcapacity has increased. In recent years, strongly driven by the market demand,

a new wave of coal production capacity building has been set off in China, and

the coal production capacity has increased rapidly.

The coal industry

has gradually released nearly 4

million tons of production capacity, and the overcapacity will be further aggravated. The impact of imported coking coal is rapidly expanding

, and the import volume is growing, and the pressure of overcapacity is increasing. Third, coal prices showed a rapid decline.

At present, the market prospect is still unclear,

The downward pressure of coal price still exists;

Fourth, the influx of imported coal

squeezed, and the substantial increase of imported coal once again suppressed the domestic coal price; Fifth, fighting smog, controlling coal burning, adjusting the structure, increasing energy conservation and emission reduction < P >, and the proportion of new energy consumption has increased rapidly, and traditional fossil energy is facing new challenges.

after experiencing the cold winter, it is predicted that the situation of the coal industry will not be improved in 216

.

Considering the country's continuous efforts to control air pollution, the demand of major coal-consuming areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta will be

restrained,

but the technical maturity and economic feasibility of alternative energy sources need to be further improved,

and the national coal demand will continue to

maintain a small growth.

From the perspective of coal supply,

On the one hand,

Although it is influenced by factors such as increasing pressure of environmental protection and energy saving,

impact of clean energy, the pressure of releasing coal production capacity formed in the early stage is still relatively large, and the coal output will still show a slight growth trend. In addition,

although the country will restrict the import and use of inferior coal by strengthening the quality management of commercial coal,

the pressure of overcapacity in the global coal market still exists,

there is still a certain price difference between imported and domestic coal,

plus the effect of exchange rate changes,

China's coal imports will remain

large, and it is preliminarily estimated that the annual net imports will be

3.

what should coal enterprises do in the face of crisis?

In 216

, coal enterprises should conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements made by their superiors, grasp the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, take quality and efficiency as the center,

take reform and innovation as the driving force,

and correctly handle the relationship between crisis response and long-term development.

We should take coping with market shocks as an important opportunity to

optimize and adjust the structure,

adhere to market orientation,

take enterprise benefits as the basic foothold,

focus on expanding sales.
