The Central Pricing Catalogue Has Sharply Reduced The Price Range And The Topic Is Heating Up Again.

According to the national development and Reform Commission website 21, approved by the State Council, the national development and Reform Commission announced in October 21, 2015 the revised "central pricing list", which has been implemented since January 1, 2016.

This is an important measure to implement the several opinions of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee on promoting the reform of the price mechanism. The results of price reform and decentralization are set down in the form of catalogues. At the same time, the pricing power of the government is listed in order to ensure that there is no pricing power outside the catalog.

Compared with the current catalogue of the State Planning Commission and the relevant departments of the State Council, the newly revised central priced catalog has three major adjustments.

First, the scope of pricing has been greatly reduced.

The price categories reduced from 13 (categories) to 7 (categories), about 46%, and the specific pricing items reduced from 100 to 20, or about 80%.

Among the 20 items retained, 13 were mainly managed by the national development and Reform Commission, and 7 were mainly managed by the competent departments of the industry.

The two is the listing of pricing items.

The reserved pricing items are listed in the form of listing, and the specific pricing contents and scopes are defined one by one.

In addition, it is still at a time when the current method is managed and the reform process will be released in due course.

Some of the items in the "footnote" are also explained one by one.

The three is to modify the directory name.

According to the provisions of the nineteenth and twentieth articles of the price law, the name of the catalogue is changed to the central priced catalogue, and the current directory name is no longer used.

The national development and Reform Commission and relevant departments have formulated or adjusted them into the "

The prices of goods and services must be adhered to according to law, promote openness of government affairs, enhance pparency, accept social supervision, and make pricing power run in the sun.

According to the social average cost and market supply and demand, the requirements of national economic and social development, and the social affordability, we thoroughly analyze the impact of price changes on all aspects of society, especially on the masses' lives, and carry out procedures such as price supervision, price hearing, social opinion, expert testimony, collective deliberation and announcement according to law.

In the process of revising the catalogue, we conscientiously implemented the spirit of the party in the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and strictly followed the basic principles of "all the market prices can be handed over to the market, the government does not interfere properly", "the scope of government pricing is mainly confined to the important public utilities, public welfare services and network natural monopoly links". We listened widely to the opinions of relevant departments, local price authorities, relevant enterprises and experts, and also openly solicited public opinions.

At the same time, we should establish an annual assessment and dynamic adjustment mechanism, and adjust the pricing items and management methods in time according to the level of national economic and social development and the reform process of price system and mechanism and the degree of market competition.
