8部门：加强铜铝锂镍钴锡等资源调查与勘探

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with seven other departments, has issued a "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Nonferrous Metal Industry (2025-2026)" to address challenges and promote high-quality development in the sector [1][2]. Background - The nonferrous metal industry is a crucial foundational sector in China, being the largest producer and consumer globally. In 2024, the industry's added value is expected to grow by 8.9%, with a revenue increase of 15.8% and profit growth of 16.5% [2][3]. - Despite rapid growth, issues such as resource security, high-end supply capabilities, and effective demand exploration have become more pronounced, necessitating the new work plan [2][3]. Overall Considerations - The work plan is guided by Xi Jinping's thoughts and aims to balance supply and demand while promoting innovation and collaboration across the industry [3][4]. - It emphasizes policy coordination, system thinking, and innovation to enhance the resilience and safety of the supply chain [3][4]. Main Goals - The plan sets a target for an average annual growth of around 5% in the industry's added value from 2025 to 2026, with a 1.5% annual increase in the production of ten major nonferrous metals [4][11]. Key Initiatives - Resource Efficiency: The plan includes actions to enhance resource utilization, such as implementing a new round of mineral exploration and supporting the recycling of waste metals [5][12]. - Technological Innovation: It aims to boost effective supply capabilities through technological advancements in high-end materials and manufacturing quality [6][14]. - Investment Expansion: The plan encourages effective investment to facilitate industry transformation and upgrade projects, including energy-saving and pollution-reduction initiatives [6][15]. - Consumer Demand: It seeks to stimulate market consumption by promoting high-end applications of nonferrous metals in various industries [7][17]. - International Cooperation: The plan emphasizes enhancing international collaboration and addressing trade restrictions to stabilize foreign trade [8][18]. Implementation Measures - Organizational Support: Local governments are encouraged to refine growth targets and policy measures, while industry associations play a role in promoting self-regulation [8][19]. - Policy Support: The plan outlines the use of long-term special bonds and tax reduction policies to support resource development and technological innovation [8][19]. - Monitoring and Evaluation: It calls for the use of big data and AI to monitor industry performance and address potential issues proactively [8][20].
