Core Insights - The recent concerns regarding the "national subsidy" program being prematurely ended during the 618 shopping festival are unfounded, as the program is undergoing temporary adjustments rather than a complete termination [1][6]. Group 1: Reasons for Temporary Suspension - **Phase One Funding Exhaustion**: The initial 12 billion yuan subsidy for home appliances in Chongqing was fully utilized by early June, leading to notifications of "funds exhausted" on platforms [1][2]. - **System Upgrades and Fraud Prevention**: Measures such as "SN code binding + old machine recycling verification" have been implemented in Guangdong to combat fraudulent claims, while other regions have adjusted their subsidy distribution methods to prevent abuse [3][4]. - **Avoiding Price Disruption During 618**: Analysis from Morgan Stanley indicates that combining national subsidies with platform discounts could lead to price drops exceeding 30%, potentially destabilizing market prices [5]. Group 2: Clarification on Subsidy End Date - Despite the national policy stating a unified end date of December 31, 2025, some provinces may exhaust their quotas earlier, with recommendations for consumers in regions like Henan and Hunan to complete purchases by December 10-15 to avoid missing out [6][7]. Group 3: Key Areas of National Subsidy - **Home Appliances**: Subsidy standards include 20% for first-level energy efficiency (up to 2000 yuan) and 15% for second-level (up to 1500 yuan), with new inclusions like microwaves and water purifiers [8]. - **Mobile Devices**: Subsidy standards provide 15% for devices priced up to 6000 yuan, capped at 500 yuan, with additional incentives in regions like Hunan and Shaanxi [8]. - **Automobiles**: Subsidies include 20,000 yuan for purchasing new energy vehicles and 15,000 yuan for fuel vehicles, with new categories added for certain fuel vehicles [8]. Group 4: Consumer Action Guide - **Prioritize High-Value Items**: Consumers are advised to focus on high-value products such as air conditioners and electric vehicles to maximize subsidy benefits [9]. - **Utilize Correct Search Terms**: Using specific search terms on platforms like JD.com can help consumers secure subsidies effectively [9][11]. - **Be Aware of Details**: Important details include ensuring invoices are in the consumer's name and understanding return policies regarding subsidies [11]. Conclusion - The current pause in the national subsidy program is a strategic move for fund management and system optimization, with some regions already resuming operations. Consumers are encouraged to act quickly to take advantage of remaining subsidies before quotas are depleted [12].
