Core Viewpoint - The implementation of a new round of large-scale equipment updates is a crucial measure to promote high-quality development, expand effective investment, facilitate industrial upgrades, drive green development, and improve people's lives. Since the launch of the "Two New" initiative last year, large-scale equipment updates have been continuously effective, with approximately 8,400 projects supported by special long-term bonds, leading to a total investment exceeding 1 trillion yuan [1]. Policy Impact - The equipment update policy has shown significant results in stabilizing investment, growth, and promoting transformation. In 2024, the total number of equipment updates in key areas nationwide is expected to exceed 20 million units. From January to July this year, investment in equipment and tools increased by 15.2% year-on-year, outpacing overall investment growth by 13.6 percentage points, contributing to a 2.2 percentage point increase in total investment [9][10]. Financial Support - The special long-term bonds are led by the National Development and Reform Commission to support key equipment update projects and high-level recycling projects. Central finance provides interest subsidies of 1.5 percentage points on bank loans for eligible entities. The funding for scrapping and updating old operational vehicles and agricultural machinery is shared between central and local governments, with varying support ratios across regions [4]. Local Initiatives - Local governments have creatively implemented the equipment update policy. For instance, Jiangsu Province introduced "Transportation Loans" with fiscal interest subsidies, benefiting various projects and significantly reducing financing costs [5]. Application Process - The application process for enjoying the policy benefits is straightforward and efficient. Companies have reported quick approval times for subsidy applications, with some receiving funds within two months [6][7]. Technological Upgrades - The equipment updates are not merely about replacing old with new but also involve significant technological advancements. For example, companies have reported increased production efficiency and cost savings due to the adoption of automated and intelligent equipment [10][18]. Environmental Focus - A significant aspect of the equipment updates is the focus on green initiatives. The National Grid has completed energy efficiency upgrades for over 240,000 transformers, and the transportation sector has seen the elimination of over 260,000 old diesel trucks [11][13]. Community Benefits - The equipment update policy also aims to enhance public welfare, with funding supporting the replacement of aging infrastructure such as elevators and water supply systems, benefiting millions of residents [14][15]. Recycling and Standards - The policy promotes recycling and the establishment of higher standards. The re-manufacturing industry has seen significant growth, with annual output reaching nearly 200 billion yuan, and the introduction of new standards is expected to drive further advancements in equipment updates [16][18]. Future Directions - The National Development and Reform Commission plans to continue coordinating efforts to ensure effective project implementation and fund management, aiming to maximize the impact of the "Two New" policy [19].
