The CBRC and the People’s Bank, National Development and Reform Commission jointly drafted by the commercial banking services price control approach (draft) “(hereinafter referred to as the” Rules “), to the community for public comment. The way to commercial banking services prices, government guidance, the government pricing and market regulation, bank service charge management is expected to improve.
The newspaper had previously sustained the disclosure of bank charges service complaint hot. “Measures” Although some of the complaints focus supervision, but there are still loopholes.
The legal profession, “measures” the government pricing guide price range is too narrow. In regulated by the market regulators to the banks to freely adjust too much space.
In accordance with the Measures for the implementation of government guidance or government pricing projects, mainly the people living close to the basic commercial bank project services, including bank drafts, promissory notes, checks, credit transfers and commission collection service.
In addition to the implementation of government guidance, government pricing of commercial banking services other than price, the commercial and banking services prices, market prices, the formulation and adjustment by the Commercial Bank (Head Office), the branch shall not violate the provisions of the head office (head office) formulation and adjustment of the price of services. Price setting and adjustment must be a unified service descriptions and promotional materials prominently in the place of business publicity.
Status quo scan
Bank ATM rare clear Guidelines on Fees
While most banks have an improvement on the issue of fees express, the individual items is still not clear. For example, the bank’s ATM machines and other electronic terminals and no clear guidelines of charges. As part of the business to go through the existence of differences in bank counters and ATM machines, so people want to bank next to the ATM machine to the publicity clear charges.
Involved in inter-bank business charges in foreign exchange transfers “Banks generally only announced the charges of the Bank, but no other bank charges guidelines.
“Approach” provides commercial banking services prices should strictly implement the system of price tag. Prominently in the place of business, the commercial banks should provide related services price catalog or instruction manual for financial consumers free access to commercial banks can use electronic display, multimedia terminals, computer inquiry price tag.
Bank lending to closing the financing consultancy fees
“Approach” does not cover part of the customer’s complaint hot. For example, the state-owned banks off-site transfers cash charges are too high, sales of financial products unprofessional. Off-site cash costs of large-scale state-owned banks is indeed higher than the joint-stock banks much higher, the public suggested that the relevant bank as soon as possible to reduce the fee standard. In sales of financial products, customer complaints hot concentrated in the banking staff not explain the basic elements of the product sold, and risk, or even for performance considerations to exaggerate benefits, risk aversion.
In addition, Guangzhou, a business owner, told reporters, very difficult to bank loans, even if they can loan to cost close to the limits prescribed by the Central Bank, the benchmark interest rate four times the interest rate stated in the contract is not high, many presented orally, said additional costs charged by banks currently account management fees, financing advisory fees, consultant fees over four kinds.
Guangzhou, a large bonding companies, general manager of privately told reporters the current annual interest rate charged by the bank secured loan is usually the benchmark interest rates go up 50-100%, but high interest rates is not reflected in the contract, but a loan to finance advisory fee The way one-time charge. (Reporter Wang Liang)
The two asked
“Filing system” Can curb fees impulse
Part of the legal profession that the “measures” the government pricing guide price range is too narrow. In regulated by the market, regulators give banks free adjust the space is too large, arbitrary charges of “opportunity” to the bank. “Way” is actually the bank service charges is a “filing system”, and “approval system” compared to “filing system” supervision “Not just the slightest bit.
Guangdong Banking Association and a senior lawyer, told reporters that require banks to pay “advance report” and “price tag” for the banks’ high fees, but from the law to legalize “leaving a gap.
“In the case of full competition, the report prepared there is no problem; the Chinese banking sector is still relatively monopoly industries.” China Consumers’ Association, vice president of Renmin University of China, Professor Liu Junhai suggested, should be regulated by the market range is necessary to limit more much inclined to consumers.
Pricing to reflect the consumer right to speak
“Measures” mentioned only in the formulation of government pricing, government guidance to seek the views of consumers; for the Bank to formulate its own regulated by the market, did not mention to discuss or solicit consumer opinion and financial consumers. There are cases, Ms Tang in Beijing to overseas remittances of over 200 U.S. dollars through a commercial bank was charged 200 yuan remittance costs to charge for it, she was confused. Beijing asked the director of the law firm Zhang Yuanzhong pointed out that some banks in the service charges “exorbitant demands” are not unrelated, and consumers in the prices of banking services, making the lack of the right to speak.
“Whether it is government pricing guide price, or regulated by the market, should be consulted consumer advice,” said Liu Junhai, even if it is limited by the actual situation, the bank can not do individually negotiated with each consumer, it should also hold a hearing .

In Europe the current debt crisis intensified, the U.S. dollar as safe-haven currency of choice, is adverse economic strength.
Look at the RMB exchange reform since the Okanagan K line chart, in addition to the financial crisis in September 2009 during the central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar fell slightly outside the six years has been a continuous unilateral appreciation of the “slope of line” But last month, the central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar drop in again. What is more, the last two trading days last week, the yuan against the U.S. dollar in spot trading market in the continuous limit.
RMB rare two-day “limit.”
In the purchase of foreign exchange demand driven, December 2 midday trading session on Friday that the renminbi spot exchange market, the spot price of RMB against the U.S. dollar price of the emergence of 6.3627 yuan, compared with 6.3635 yuan the previous trading day’s closing price However, with the day by five thousandths of fluctuations up and down the central parity calculation, 6.3627 yuan RMB limit price is the same day. Friday’s central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar is 6.3310. The day after the December 1, the RMB against the U.S. dollar has also appeared in a short limit.
Looking at the offshore market, NDF year reached RMB against the U.S. dollar price of 6.3790/40, while the domestic market of RMB against the U.S. dollar one-year deal to swap the latest discount 21 points.
Although the renminbi spot market trading limit for two consecutive day when the situation, but the count last week, the trend of the central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar, but it was a different story continues closed up. Last week, the central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar gained is as high as 244 basis points.
Median price rose, the yuan intraday limit, this delicate relationship, what is the dollar market needed a temporary situation, or the renminbi will be devalued, but its central parity is in the wearer to support the market?
Market gives the answer?
November 19, Premier Wen Jiabao to attend East Asia Summit in Bali, Indonesia, said during the meeting, it was noted in late September to early November, overseas non-deliverable forward foreign exchange market expected devaluation of the RMB exchange rate, this situation is not man-made decision is a reflection of the market exchange rate. Wen said the RMB exchange rate flexibility means to increase both the appreciation of the yuan, also can be depreciated.
Thursday and Friday market, the dollar was in short supply, the lower limit of the yuan against the U.S. dollarPriceThere. In some market participants view, is not surprising. A large bank, a currency trader, told reporters: “In fact, had already appeared in the July devaluation of the RMB around the signal, now on the market to buy dollars is very strong, the RMB trading price two days significantly deviate from the central parity, can be seen suppress the power of the central parity devaluation is very obvious. ”
Merchants BankSenior financial analyst Dong-Liang Liu told reporters yesterday that the purchase of foreign exchange plate is so large, more complex reasons, there may be three reasons: to see empty yuan, domestic and foreign purchases of foreign exchange arbitrage and hedging demand.
Is it true for the yuan, as predicted by some people appear to be short sharp depreciation of the problem, Dong-Liang Liu believes that the central bank should be able to control the stability of RMB, and the current intention of the central bank’s control is also very obvious.
Bloomberg recently released a forecast of economists and analysts of survey, “With China’s export surplus continued to decline, the next four months, the yuan against the U.S. dollar’s exchange rate will appear weak.” Economists predict the next four months the yuan may be the weakest performance in BRIC currencies.
Data show that China’s trade surplus in October dropped to $ 17 billion last year is 272 billion dollars. Chinese Minister of Commerce said recently that, by the European debt crisis, China’s trade exports in the coming months the possibility of very large drop. A large number of market analysts pointed out that if China’s trade surplus continues to decline, then, the yuan’s appreciation of the external pressure will come to an end.

NetEase News October 18 Unexpected performance of hydropower in China today. China’s hydropower today opened at 4.78, rose more than 6%. 11:00 China reported utilities rose 38.22% 6.23, as compared with opening up more than 20%, by exchange temporary suspension. Afternoon after the opening bell, with the shock down the broader market, China Hydropower shock down by the close, China’s hydropower reported 5.28, rose 17% against the market trend.
Not yet listed on the year was caused by investors worried about the largest IPO of China’s hydropower will be officially launched today the secondary market. Just pick up the market rally could continue? In this regard, some analysts believe that the stock continue to fall for several months, after nearly two weeks back on the market 2400 points above the market to pick up or absorb the negative impact of China’s hydropower market.
GF Securities analyst Wan Bing that, from the release point of view, China’s hydropower resources are not to be optimistic, yesterday stock index forcibly red, may play a protective role in China’s hydropower market; however be noted that, IPO distribution rate did not slow down, the current market volume does not significantly enlarged, compared yesterday’s trading volume between the two cities last week, again shrinking. China’s hydropower market are still many difficulties, do not rule out the first day of break possible.
China’s current water and electricity to 4.5 per low profile market, so many analysts after the market trend but its not so pessimistic.
Fei Tan SW analysts believe that China’s hydropower although somewhat inopportune time to market, but the market after a bad pre-digestion, combined gold holdings of the message exchange market confidence rose to its first day of listing and create a better market environment , is likely to help them keep the first day of “hair” success.
Southwest Securities analyst Huang Chang whole is relatively cautious, he believes China’s hydropower releases a high success rate, especially on social security and insurance funds on behalf of institutional subscription is not active, the parties are not optimistic about the situation, it is likely the first day of commitment pressure, coupled with the current market volume does not significantly enlarged, wait and see mood strong, break may also be inevitable, but is expected to break even if its share price will not last long time. GF Securities analyst Wang was also the case that China’s hydropower still more reasonable valuation, the expected stock price in the distribution near the shock.

Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail will fail as soon as possible out of the focus period
Railway operations data show that 1 to 13 July, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail operations EMU trains were opened more than 2,500 columns, daily open-line 180 or so daily visitors to send 16.5 million, 19.7 million people in the highest daily average attendance 106%, a strong passenger traffic. But recently, several failures occurred, so just open the Beijing-Shanghai “artery” embarrassing.
July 14, PRC Ministry of Railways spokesman Wang Yongping guest, details from the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail has three reasons for failure, and on behalf of the railway sector once again apologized to the public. “Responsibly tell you that the railway sector is doing its best with the fastest speed out of the Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway, the fault is relatively concentrated period, I hope you understand and support us.”
Why exactly 3 failures sky?
Were due to: additional catenary wire burned, after EMU Pantograph damage, and EMU traction transformer wires in poor contact
Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail has appeared three times a failure, the Ministry of Railways spokesman Wang Yongping said, “the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has exposed some problems, mainly the device is in run-in period, there have been some failures, while not affecting the safety, But a greater impact on the running order. ”
At 17:59:54 on on July 10, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail Tengzhou East Station, the downstream side of Shanghai additional catenary wires, which power supply lines, failure, interruption power 1 hour 37 minutes.
According to Wang Yongping introduced by the Ministry of Railways investigation, failure for the following reasons: high-speed rail to provide power to the catenary wire attached, install a non-tension hanging in the gravity to allow a certain degree of relaxation, windy swing will occur. July 10 regions of 9 Tengzhou thunderstorm winds, strong winds caused additional wires swing. Caused during the swing side of the column near the canopy and canopy columns plus line distance between the lack of insulation, wire-to-column discharge blown canopy. Wires blown, resulting in termination of the catenary power supply, so the train outage.
At 10:45 on July 12, G102 second high-speed EMU trains in the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail Suzhou East Station, bow-net fault occurs, uninterrupted power supply 2 hours 17 minutes.
According to Wang Yongping introduced by the Ministry of Railways investigation, G102 times EMU electric train for two-bow by the former pantograph (EMU head of the antenna) site by accident when the pantograph and catenary normal state, then by the power bow damage, triggered a bow-net faults, interrupted power supply. As the specific technical reasons more complex, still-depth analysis.
July 13, G114 second part of EMU cars without traction power output, traction is limited to full-out, run the maximum speed of about 160 km. Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail in order to ensure the overall transport order in Zhenjiang South Station to start the backup car to replace a failed car, and finally south to Beijing about delayed 2 hours and 40 minutes.
According to the Ministry of Railways investigation and analysis, cause of the malfunction, G114 second EMU traction transformer differential current monitoring and protection circuit for sensing the current wires, poor contact failure, resulting in protection action, limiting traction current, which limits the operating speed.
How to look at the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail failure?
From international experience, high-speed rail in the run-in period of failure is relatively concentrated, but the railway sector will strive to shorten the period of adjustment
High-speed rail is a complex technical system, climate, environment and many other factors, high-speed rail in the operation process will face a variety of challenges. So how to look at the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail failure?
Wang Yongping that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail operators have just opened soon, all kinds of equipment, personnel still in the running-in stage. He cited the “reliability engineering ‘bathtub curve’ theory ‘,’ products into the scrap from the entire life cycle so far, showed some changes in the reliability of the law can be divided into three stages: early failure period, occasional failure period serious fault period. products in use in the early and late accident-prone, which may also apply to the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail. “Wang Yongping said,” However, we still have to find ways to prevent and eliminate early failures, and strive to shorten the run-in period, into operation as soon as stable. ”
From the historical point of view of international rail operations, the initial opening and operation of new railway lines are relatively concentrated period of failure. According to Wang Yongping introduction, France, Germany, Japan had just opened when the high-speed rail, have experienced similar failures. December 4, 2010, Tohoku Shinkansen opening and operation of the first day on the outage due to failure 1 hour. January 15, Tohoku Shinkansen were two successive failures, resulting in Tohoku Shinkansen Yamagata Shinkansen and Akita Shinkansen outage, after more than four hours of repair, before resuming operation. January 17, Tokyo Shinkansen train control system could fail, leading to the northeast, on Vietnam, Akita, Yamagata and Nagano Shinkansen lines 5 all trains stop running, the longest delay time of 2 hours and 13 minutes, more than 80,000 travel affected.
“A failure to stop” is a technology, but it?
The sensitivity of high-speed rail passenger safety on security, on security issues, rather sensitive, and must not risk
Some people think that, compared with the conventional rail, high-speed rail too “fragile.” It was also questioned each encounter failure immediately stop high-speed rail is technically, but are off.
In fact, high-speed train this rapid sensitive response, it is the industrial design in the “people-oriented” expression is based on passenger safety protection.
Wang Yongping said in relation to other modes of transport, the train to withstand bad weather, and does have certain advantages, but that does not mean that the train in any weather conditions are smooth. In particular, is 300 kilometers per hour to run high-speed train, when the weather may pose a threat to the safety of the train, its first reaction is to automatically cut off power in the shortest time to stop running, to ensure passenger safety.
“High speed train this rapid response is not sensitive to the ‘delicate’ this ‘fault-oriented safe’ design and technology system is the world’s high-speed rail in the operating process widely used concept in security issues, we would rather sensitive to , must not take risks. “Wang Yongping said.
Wang Yongping said that despite a spate of failures, but the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail technology is advanced and mature, the main quality indicators project reached the best level of similar projects and the world advanced level, and built, including operation and maintenance, anti-disaster impact on within a set of security system.
“All systems are high-speed rail in accordance with ‘fail-oriented security’ concept design, with very high safety and reliability because of this, regardless of the line, vehicles, catenary, signals and other communications to any aspect of any point a problem is detected, the system will follow this design principle, adopt safety measures to deal with auto-oriented. “Wang Yongping introduction, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail used CRH380 high-speed trains is set on more than 1,000 test sensors, a fault is detected when the train signal, immediately launched the emergency response, until the automatic deceleration stop. For example, sometimes visitors smoke in the car in violation of regulations, monitoring the fire alarm will cause the train, leading to half-way stop. “This highly reliable, highly sensitive monitoring of the safety protection system, although passengers will travel some effect, but fundamentally prevent train accidents, can effectively protect the safety of passengers.”
How to prevent and eliminate the recurrence of similar failures?
Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail safety inspection has begun, the railway sector is also to prevent failure and improve the ability to respond to emergencies
Railway operations data show that 1 to 13 July, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail operations EMU trains were opened more than 2,500 columns, daily open-line 180 or so daily visitors to send 16.5 million, 19.7 million people in the highest daily average attendance 106%. Train departure punctuality rate of 94%, and finally to the punctuality rate of 85.6%. The existing Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail line to send passengers daily total 24.5 million, compared with before the opening, the Beijing-Shanghai railway passenger transport corridors as a whole an increase of 8.1 million, an increase of 46.2%.
Faced with such a large passenger flow, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail to prevent and eliminate such failures happen again?
Wang Yongping said before the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, Beijing, Jinan, Shanghai Railway Bureau under the jurisdiction of dispatching and equipment were prepared for the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway emergency plan. Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail in the run during the test, also organized emergency drills. This occurred after several failures, the railway sector immediately launched the emergency plan, organize repairs.
“This length of 1318 km, from one station up to nearly 100 km of high-speed railway, in all types of organizations within two hours to complete the repair, has been very difficult. Of equipment failure affecting passenger travel, we are Sorry, and also to minimize such problems. but look at the speed of repairs, railway workers or make their best efforts. “Wang Yongping said.
Failures for the recent problems, the Ministry of Railways attaches great importance to an emergency meeting of the failure analysis and the safety of all road transport teleconference. Ministry of Railways requirements, operating units, construction units and train manufacturer, to take effective measures to ensure safe and orderly running Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail.
Currently, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail has begun safety inspection. Comprehensive inspection of equipment and facilities problems, EMU out of storage quality, along the security and emergency plans, identify problems and take immediate measures to limit regulation to effectively improve the operational stability of the device, to ensure operational safety.
At the same time, various types of contingency plans are refined sound. Beijing-Shanghai railway authorities stepped up along the EMU drivers, dispatchers, vehicle mechanics, passenger services, emergency response personnel and other key job retraining, in order to better serve travelers.
According to Wang Yongping introduction, asked the Ministry of Railways is responsible for operational management of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail Railway Bureau, the major leaders personally started to grasp the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail operations management, professional and technical cadres sent to the front line duty, and timely disposition of the organization to ensure the safe operation of .
“High-speed rail is not fragile, and we still very advanced technical equipment, qualified the railway sector is also effectively improve the ability to prevent failure and the ability to respond to emergencies. After continuous exposure to conflicts, resolve conflicts, the Chinese high-speed rail will will be shown even more remarkable. “Wang Yongping said.

“If you get the coal contracts, on-site will give you 100 dollars per ton!”
“Person in charge of mine-related requirements by 500 yuan / ton bill, have to middlemen to 580 yuan / ton pay, the difference of 80 dollars into the pockets of individuals.”
Shanxi, a “coal trader” In a recent conversation with reporters, inadvertently opened by a crazy reselling the interests of the coal chain. As a result, key coal contract fulfillment rate is not high, power plants and power generation would prefer to sell the contract do not want to cause power shortage in the number of riddles solved one by one.
At 18:00 on May 10, the night draws near. Drove rushed from Taiyuan Xinzhou, rows of buildings, clean streets, in the dim darkness, did not feel the intricate relationship of coal here.
Drivers of them are known as the Xinzhou “Taiyuan back garden”, every weekend, the boss will have senior officials to carry coal, coal dealers gathered here, hot springs, do business.
19:30, coal dealer Qiong (a pseudonym) to the “Daily News” reporter called and agreed peace road in Xinzhou, “ranks the fourth Pig shop” to meet.
8, when the reporter arrived the store, Qiong has waiting for them. General appearance, white shirt with purple wool vest, the biggest difference is with the locals – he in the hands of the Chinese smoke.
Seated, Qiong immediately greeted Waiter: “beer, to be the best.”
Waiting for food and wine in the interval, Qiong told the “Daily News” reporter, who just returned from the afternoon Shuozhou back, before the wagon had just sent away a total of 1.6 million tons of coal 4, the buyer is a thermal power plant in Zibo, Shandong, price 625 yuan / ton.
Coal comes to business, seems tired before Qiong swept away. He said excitedly, “and you want to, I just sold the coal is 5500 kcal.” At this point, the waiter two bottles of Tsingtao Pure Health, Qiong first to dry cup.
“Businessmen have generous about trading in Xinzhou, first of all must have some.” Said Zhang Qiong, Xinzhou is a good place, an hour’s drive from Taiyuan, the coal business to do a lot of people would choose to Xinzhou as the venue for negotiations.
Orders at the mystery of coal
A simple conversation, see the press is still doubtful of its master’s coal contract, Qiong initiative to explain the source of his contract: “coal contract orders from the National Coal Council.”
Orders will be provided by coal, thermal coal contracts need to have qualified the state-owned coal power plants and direct sign, but Qiong said he can make use of internal power relations, “the amount of coal needed in the power plant order can sign the contract.” For Which Which power plants and coal from coal mines, Qiong commercial secrets are no longer mentioned.
Prior to that, “Daily News” reporter noted that trading in the China Coal Information Network, Shanghai coal trading network, and other sites, there are a lot of information on electricity supply.
May 10, Qiong information is also available online: “Our long term coal supply in Shanxi local contract, 4000 ~ 6000 kcal, low price and excellent quality, tax or duty may be.”
Electricity for the information published online, Qiong attempt to further eliminate concerns of journalists. He said the information published online brokers, in addition to got to give up power plant due to the coal contract prices, the coal brokers more orders at the form of a private commission, by a qualified power plants and electricity supply mine more than a contract.
“For example, power plants and coal purchase contract signed by 50 million tons, while maintaining normal operation of the plant only 40 million tons, and the remaining 10 million tons into the contract is entirely possible to the market.” Qiong told reporters.
Three transition into the contract coal transportation
By tipsy feeling, Qiong, then gradually increased: “focus of the contract is more than 5500 kcal of coal quality coal, profit margins will be even greater.”
Qiong told reporters that the current coal price differential between coal and the market has more than 200 yuan / ton.
Learned that in Shanxi Yangquan coal Juban Jia has recently risen to 5500 kcal 610 yuan / ton. Meanwhile, on May 11 of the Qinhuangdao Port coal price rose 5 yuan per ton, on the Bohai Rim markets steam coal 5500 kcal comprehensive offer 820 yuan / ton. Coal, thermal coal and the market price difference of 210 yuan / ton.
“Because a huge difference between coal and many have signed contracts for coal finally entered the market, rather than to the hands of power plants, coal contract fulfillment rate is the best proof.” Qiong said.
2011 summary of meeting the national coal supply contract, a charge of fuel procurement for many years people had said the contract coal mining companies issued more than 90% of the amount of focus on contract coal, but the plants only received 60% less than the focus of signing the contract the amount of coal .
“Statistics of the key coal enterprises coal contract fulfillment rate is in accordance with the contract, given the number of statistics, and power generation companies received in accordance with their own statistics the number of coal.” China Coal Transportation and Marketing Association, market observers Li Zhaolin to the “Daily Economic News” reporter pointed out.
For more than 30% of the final flow of key contract coal, Li Zhaolin said, because the coal by rail, we can say 30% of the focus of the contract during the transportation of coal is the “Transition” change for the market coal.
Shanxi Coking Coal Group, an insider to the “Daily Economic News” told reporters: “As long as signed a coal supply contract, supply of coal will be one hundred percent.”
“In fact, the contract coal rail transit is variable type, wagon train hard to grant, but as long as coal shipments, allowing the rails to fully operate a coal dealer.” Talking about the interests of transport links, Qiong smile.
In Li Zhaolin eyes, even if the coal mine will be increased by the market, but involves a huge amount, combined with the market price of coal per ton over hundred different coal transaction is favorable for coal dealers.
If you do 2000,3000 kcal for coal, Qiong said, “one ton and sold 300 dollars, and no space can be controlled, high-quality coal is more focus on the contract favored by the market.”
China Coal Transportation and Marketing Association is responsible for China’s coal supply and demand summary statistics, every year the contract. Notice in accordance with the NDRC, 2011 summary of China’s coal contract amount was 9.32 million tons, which focuses on the total amount of 769 million tons coal.
“The bottom line compared to ensure the electrical safety of 3.8 million tonnes (single volume of 30 tons and over) are key contract coal price Development and Reform Commission, the remaining 389 million tons with the focus on coal, transforming the market coal greater probability. “Li Chaolin revealed.
According to an analysis of the coal industry, the focus of the contract by 380 million tons of coal size, approximately 30% of the difference in performance, which led to focus on transforming the market coal the amount of coal at least 1 million tons. Press again to verify the authority of the person that, together with key contract coal into electricity than the market size is absolutely not on this scale, at least over 200 million tons.
Coal, thermal coal market, the track turned
To plug the “electricity market,” the source, the National Development and Reform Commission released in December 2010 “on the transportation of coal production well 2011 to be convergence of the notice” not only the provisions of the contract price of coal, rail transport capacity allocation remains unchanged, In addition to supply and demand also explicitly requires companies and railways, the Ministry of the door, no other units are not allowed to seal the contract.
The move for Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Qiong disagree, “even if countries want to block the source, but the power loss increase, the difference so big, coal is now reselling the largest capital in their hands, not just buyers and sellers to profit, This is something of interest taking in the chain. ”
Transformation of the market for coal, thermal coal, the industry pointed out that the mine has its own problems: “Some contracts for coal mining coal into the market knowing that the transaction will be issued in the case.”
Qiong also been confirmed this: “For example, focus on the contract price is 500 yuan / ton, the market of coal is 700 yuan / ton, the mine requires the responsible person by 500 yuan / ton billing, but it requires brokers to 580 yuan / t pay. So, 80 dollars / ton, the difference is the tip, into the personal pockets. ”
He showed reporters a coal “turned” market path of coal: “get the electricity contract, as a trading company, minus the pull goods to the mine when the person in charge of the cost, I would add to 650 yuan / ton, after all, the contract coal, some of which are key contract coal, which is lower than the market price. ”
Industry sources, including five power generation groups, including power companies, are generally associated with private coal trading companies, commissioned by the trading company for sourcing the required coal.
It is these “middle person” in reselling contract coal, brokers tend to focus on contracts in the coal and the market price of coal between the two and then determine a price, several parties in order to ensure win-win.
Qiong said: “once again changed hands to downstream intermediaries power plants, chemical industry, steel mills and other enterprises, the increase again, and thus, the contract changed hands several times after the coal from the market price of coal is completely deformed.”
Qiong said: “Now as long as you can get coal contracts, on-site can give you 100 yuan per ton.”
“The market economy, and people do business, as the parties in the coal trade, no one wanted to make money and enhance profits.” Huozhou coal a person in charge told the “Daily News” reporter.
For the main body of electricity trading, a market observers believe that no matter what channel intermediaries to obtain electricity through the contract, because the power plant, fuel companies are required to sign the leadership in the current situation of loss of power companies, even some power plants reselling contract coal to reduce losses.
9:50 that night, and journalists have been near the end of the conversation, Zhang Qiong slightly excited and said: “These are power plants and coal trafficking of people within the collaboration, there is no special relationship, is difficult to get involved.”
SERC Research: contract fulfillment rate decreased
May 23, “Daily News” reporter from authoritative sources that, in early May, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission Office of Central Electricity Regulatory Authority arrangements in Hubei and Jiangxi provinces were selected more than two million installed capacity of thermal power enterprises carry out research . Research found that, in addition to large increases in the market price of coal, part of the key coal mines disguised inflation, the price of coal fired power key coal contracts signed decreased, cash rates fall, the market of coal increased.
CEC experts on statistics, coal contract fulfillment rate showed a declining trend, more than 30 million tons in 2010 focus on coal contract fulfillment rate is less than 50%.
The industry source said: “After all, cash is low, statistical differences, will directly affect the thermal power generation enterprises, increasing the current power shortage.”
CEC forecast shows that the year 2011, China’s electricity consumption is expected to about 4.7 trillion kwh. Thermal power generation accounts for about 80% of total electricity generation capacity. In other words, the national thermal power generation in 2011 is projected at 3.76 trillion kwh.
Required by the State Development and Reform Commission, the current coal consumption of power per kilowatt thermal power plant of 360 grams of standard coal, or 1 ton of standard coal can power 3,000 kwh.
After conversion, thermal power plants in China in 2011 needs at least 12.5 million tons of coal. National Development and Reform Commission provided 380 million tons coal contracts with them key difference between the 870 million tons, coal gap of at least 69.6% of total demand accounted for.
Electricity for the smooth gap, there are traders said the market five coal Power Group purchased the proportion of each year at least 60%. “Contract rate is relatively low, and the contract Coal and poor”, one of five major power confirmed by an insider, “Coal and relatively good market, we are also a large part of the purchase through intermediaries.”
Meanwhile, the “Daily News” reporter was informed, Luan ring to (601699, SH) pit this year the contract price of coal is about 440 yuan per ton, the market price of coal pit about 520 yuan to 560 yuan. The average settlement price for a quarter of the coal is about 830 yuan per ton. Data conversion show that the middle part accounted for about 36% of coal. The former general manager of China Datang Corporation, has said publicly Zhai Ruoyu, fuel costs accounted for 70% of total electricity generation costs more.
Insiders pointed out that electricity into the market by reselling the same time, lack of stored coal power plants; plant is forced to purchase high-priced markets to maintain production of coal, electricity situation in the complex under this cancer continued losses for the current power plants planted “curse.”

In late March, rumors of price increases for products on the message triggered panic buying in some cities, the State Development and Reform Commission is in consultation with the local price departments involved in the investigation, according to evidence. Been identified, Unilever received a number of responsible person and issued a media statement on product prices, increased consumer prices is expected, causing part of the city occurred at products to buy, seriously disrupting the market order, constitute the “spread price information, disrupt the market price order,” the price behavior, the facts are clear evidence.
First, the person in charge of Unilever received several news media published a lot of comments on product prices, and was widely disseminated.
(1) March 21, Unilever spokesman Tin Man has received the first Financial Times interview, said: “Day of the industry in China is a fully competitive industry, the brand is very large, consumers are relatively sensitive to price , competitors are watching each other yet, and can only slowly adjust the point, look at the competitors to follow up. ”

Now prices of raw materials, future product prices is imperative. “accept the Xinhua News Agency,” China Network in “interview, said:” Next month the company more than prices of supplies will increase about 10%, mainly because of upstream raw materials of petrochemical products, vegetable oil, inorganic chemical products increased by an average of 40 recent %, and directly contributing to the cost of supplies increased by about 20% “,” In fact, some categories of supplies in the gross margin is not high, such as washing powder is about 10% gross margin, a number of small businesses already barely, and only the big Our products are not price increases, prices of small companies did not dare. ”
Unilever Second, information on product prices after the widely reported by news media, and enhance the consumer price expectations, lead to some major cities buy products at the individual supermarket sales of Unilever’s products at more than the normal period several times or even ten times, seriously disrupting the normal market order.

After a variety of reasons, these enterprises have suspended or canceled the price adjustment plan, daily chemical industry was able to calm the wave of price increases.
In summary, price information Unilever spread offenses disturb the market price order, a serious case, the larger social impact, according to the law should be severely punished, but given the interview after the company publicly announced the suspension of the price adjustment to consumers to apologize and take the initiative to reduce harmful consequences of violations, the Shanghai Price Bureau under the “price illegal administrative penalties” to second paragraph of Article VI and Article XVII (a), and the “PRC Administrative Punishment Law,” the second seventeen (a) of this article, Unilever China Ltd decided to make 2 million yuan as fine.
April 14, 2011
From a series of recent data, released by the Government, GDP rapid growth, rapid growth of import and export trade, retail and rapid population growth, foreign exchange reserves hit record highs, the economy boomed.
Can be said that this round of China’s economic growth, the biggest motivation is that the stock market and property price bubble to inflate the two assets. It is also in the two major property and stock markets, driven by asset price bubble, inflation began to come Chinese.
In the two asset price bubbles, driven by China’s current real estate economy in the end led to last? It can be said to present in terms of China’s economic boom, largely driven by real estate and its results. In order to develop the local real estate in many places, at the low-cost large-scale real estate developers to sell land, and then push these large-scale real estate developers, local housing prices, as an opportunity to stimulate the local economy. This is the current reflection of economic fundamentals.
It is in this sense, this round of economic growth, the situation looks good, but in fact are predatory ancestors left to put the resources into the wealth of future generations in the use of crazy, and all In the hands of those in power use. The current lot of many local governments in the transfer of land, which has the power of the people want the past, present and future of the wealth and resources to use in their own hands out of the capital in their own hands, changing hands in their own can flow into assets. In this way, the local GDP up, and individual performance up, the wealth of local growth, but people across the country, and our future generations will have to bear all the costs for this.
Also, as long as the rapid development of the real estate market, as long as housing prices soared, coupled with the rapid expansion of bank credit, the economy overheated simply inevitable, unless it is self-deceiving. On the current situation, as the domestic stock market bubble to inflate the real estate business to the stock market bubble is developing in depth. For example, this year, the rapid development of the stock market, which makes a lot of real estate companies out of dependence on bank financing from the stock market cycle to more than 1,000 billion of funds. Real estate business from the stock market a huge no-cost access to the funds (this is the view of the real estate developer), they will certainly all over the country a lot of “enclosure” is bound to push up the price of national land, and land prices Also bring a new round of rising prices around. Also, when the real estate development enterprises occupy a large amount of land after the land as they would in real estate development companies listed or to push the stock price of capital. These are precisely the interaction between the two asset prices, not only the two larger asset price bubble blowing, but also allowed to transfer to higher prices across the economy, so that rapid increase in domestic inflation, so that people across the country to take the two asset prices The cost of the bubble. Also allow the rapid expansion of bank credit, the market is awash with liquidity, which further inflate the price of the two major asset bubbles. In this way, the Chinese economy to real estate as the core to form a flood of liquidity – rapid surge in asset prices – Credit rapid expansion – inflation – is awash with liquidity and so the vicious circle.
Policy push compete with soaring stock market has been crazy, originally the Chinese stock market is a policy of the city, said that what the Government should not intervene in the stock market to the stock market bubble to inflate to allow people to share the results of reform, etc. (not seen a period of world history things on it so). That is, departments of the government’s macroeconomic control policy, making predatory use of the domestic economy to leave ancestral resources, predatory consumption of the surface of prosperity and create economic wealth, children and grandchildren, so that wealth within a short time into the pockets of minority population. Now popular slogan is everyone wants to get rich through a variety of ways. That the basic values of our society is not hard to create wealth, but how to both wealth and other wealth transfer to the hands of individuals or units. In recent years, real estate developers, and management of securities, state-owned monopoly, the rapid growth of wealth is the result of such a popular idea.
This representation is followed by a plunder of the wealth of the whole society is a society within a few short-term transfer of wealth, is a sacrifice the interests of most people’s prosperity. It brings us more integrated society can only be the bigger the potential risks. Therefore, the Government of the comprehensive review of the past few years, when China’s economic development, and very simple, a nation loses the ability to think or the community must bear the serious consequences of the collapse of the bubble, 90 years after the last century, devastated the Japanese economy proves this point completely .

Finally, adjusted for items in the Han IKEA, upgraded from the home store shopping mall.
Competition will be intense with
Regions in Europe, America and Japan and South Korea in the context of the furniture market weakness has been to develop the Chinese market, IKEA began to realize that 12 years of space than relying on district opened up shop at home more attractive single passenger, so a change had single mode, turn Embedded mall walking routes to speed up the pace of expansion.
