张瑜：不只是当下，不急在当下——反内卷理解&旬度纪要No117

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the understanding of Supply-Side Reform 3.0, emphasizing its integration with domestic demand expansion and the differences from previous reforms in 2015 and 2016 [2][3][5]. Top-Level Design - The core deployment of the current economic strategy is to combine the implementation of the domestic demand expansion strategy with deepening supply-side structural reforms [3]. - A new framework called "BBT" has been introduced, focusing on three aspects: supplementing shortages, transformation, and improvement [3][4]. - Industries are categorized based on supply-demand matching: supplementing shortages, improving efficiency, and transformation for future needs [4]. Historical Comparison - The external environment differs significantly from 2015-2016, with higher contributions from exports and greater external pressures [6]. - The current reform focuses on midstream manufacturing with a more complex range of industries compared to the previous focus on state-owned enterprises and fewer product categories [6]. - The goals of the current reform emphasize long-term industrial upgrading rather than immediate economic recovery [6]. - The methods of implementation have shifted from administrative to market-oriented and legal frameworks, which may result in slower effects [7]. - The duration of the current reform is expected to be longer, potentially lasting 1-3 years, as it relies on market and institutional changes [7]. Three Stages of Reform - The current supply-side reform may progress through three stages: controlling new projects, promoting industry mergers and restructuring, and potentially implementing mandatory capacity reduction measures if necessary [9]. - The process is not urgent and will adapt to the specific conditions of different industries, with some like the photovoltaic sector possibly moving faster [9]. Historical Review of Previous Reforms - The article identifies five similarities between the supply-side reforms of 1998 and 2015, including similar reform backgrounds and common industry focus [11][12]. - The approach to reform has been consistent, involving setting targets, monitoring progress, strict enforcement, and maintaining employment [13][14]. - The effectiveness of past reforms shows long-term improvements in industry profitability, although short-term impacts varied [16]. Current Assessment of Supply-Side Pressure - A quantitative assessment of supply-side pressures indicates that the current industrial pressure index has not yet reached the levels seen in 2015, suggesting a slower approach to capacity reduction [18]. - The photovoltaic industry currently exhibits the highest pressure index, indicating it may be prioritized in the reform process [18].
