Q&A 大金重工 20250708 摘要 2025 年上半年，公司海外业务实现突破性增长，主要得益于海外项目 交付量的大幅增加以及出口产品采用 DAP 交付模式，有效提升了整体盈 利水平。 国际形势变化导致外汇市场波动，特别是欧元和美元汇率变化，对公司 以欧元结算的对外业务产生积极影响，增加了汇兑收益。 二季度，公司在海外单桩、海塔及陆塔的发运量均环比增长，其中 TPLS 单桩保持高收益，WAK 单桩利润有所提升，海工装备成为利润增长的主 要贡献者。 下半年海外订单交付节奏预计优于上半年，发运总量将超过上半年，盈 利水平保持稳定，但确收节奏受航运时间影响。 2025 年初至今，公司在欧洲单桩和海塔订单方面表现出色，签单量排 名市场第一，并积极参与英国 AR7 项目扩容和德国第二轮拍卖。 截至目前，公司累计订单接近 50 万吨，计划 2025 年交付 15-20 万吨， 2026 年交付 20 万吨，且 2026 年订单盈利能力乐观，尤其是 TPLS 类 产品。 公司通过海外建厂，尤其针对深远海漂浮式项目，可降低 30%的成本， 自有特种运输船预计在 2026 年下水，提升运力并带来超额收益。 2025 年上半 ...

文/国务院发展研究中心市场经济研究所副研究员 王瑞民 对我国而言，建设统一大市场的症结主要在交易成本，交易成本若能够通 过相应的改革实现有效节约，市场的统一程度就会相应提升。实现这一目 标的突破口是以自上而下的基础制度规则统一实现交易成本节约，特别是 要素市场的交易成本节约。 统一大市场是中国式现代化不可或缺的一环，有利于将中国经济国内大循环中的"规模但不经济"症结充 分"解锁"，并通过本土市场效应转换为国际大循环竞争中新的比较优势，助推国际国内双循环的新发展 格局跃上新台阶。需要清醒地认识到，统一大市场是一个动态的历史进程，不能毕其功于一役，交易成 本是理解中国式统一大市场及其历史进程的一把钥匙。这是因为，影响全国范围内市场"连成片"的因素 无非是运输成本带来的自然分割与地方保护等交易成本带来的行政性分割。考虑到我国"铁公基"建设实 际上已经远远超前，行政性分割日益成为统一大市场进程中的主要矛盾。换言之，交易成本节约本质上 可视为中国式统一大市场进化的底层逻辑，交易成本下台阶，市场统一程度就会上台阶。 我国从计划经济向市场经济转轨过程中，地方政府从"直接的生产者"转变为"间接的征税者"，角色转变 重塑了地方 ...
