前三季度铁路投资下滑近8% 国铁集团称完成年度投资任务艰巨

全国铁路投资下滑幅度正在加快。2021年前三季度铁路固定资产投资累计完成5102亿元,同比下降7.8%,其中9月完成891亿元,同比减少10.18%。国家铁路局近日发布数据,显示上述内容。 2020年,全国铁路固定资产投资完成7819亿元,同比减少2.62%,这是铁路固定资产投资7年来首次低于8000亿元。如以去年完成水平看,前三季度,铁路投资仅完成全年投资的65.25%,低于去年同期水平。 中国轨道交通行业观察人士对《中国经营报》记者指出,按惯例,铁路投资会在下半年,尤其是第四季度爆发,投资会较上半年有大幅提升。2021年铁路投资走势究竟如何,仍需要观察,但市场人士普遍预期,2021年中国经济在适应“新常态”后,铁路投资放缓将是总体趋势,不会有超规模的增长,投资水平或很难超过2020年水平。 2021年10月11日,中国国家铁路集团有限公司(以下简称“国铁集团”)召开机关季度党建和经营工作会议。就铁路建设,国铁集团董事长陆东福表示,高质量完成年度投资投产任务仍然艰巨。他强调,要扎实推进重点在建项目,围绕解决西部铁路“留白”太多问题,开展规划项目前期工作,坚定不移推进铁路分层分类建设。 陆东福称,坚持保开通、保在建、保开工,安排年底前开通项目的开通准备工作和开通时间,实现依法合规高质量开通运营。川藏铁路年内实现全线开工。 2021年下半年以来,铁路固定资产投资下滑幅度一直维持在8%上下。6~8月累计投资下降幅度分别为8.26%、7.7%和7.23%;单月投资看,6~8月投资同比下降幅度分别为8.70%、4.77%、4.34%,9月下降幅度突破10%大关。 2021年铁路投资高开低走。一季度铁路投资高歌猛进,全国铁路固定资产投资完成1033.11亿元,同比增长29.3%。是自2013年铁道部撤销后,9年来一季度铁路固定资产投资最高峰。 二季度铁路投资呈现急速收窄,上半年铁路固定资产投资累计完成2989.49亿元,同比下降8.26%,也是近6年来,铁路半年投资首次未超过3000亿元大关,以单月投资额看,二季度各月增速全部为负增长。 从投产新线计划上看,亦可显示出未来铁路投资放缓的走势。据记者了解,2021年铁路新开通里程将继续下降,国铁集团计划投产新线3700公里左右,其中高铁1600公里左右,铁路与高铁投产里程将较2020年分别减少24.99%和44.83%,同时,高铁开通里程跌入6年来最低谷。 就全年经营目标任务,9月3日国铁集团召开全路电视电话会议,对全年预算目标进行了优化调整,称未来4个月,要打一场“坚守安全稳定底线、实现职工收入稳步增长,坚守盈亏目标底线、实现全年主要目标任务”的攻坚战。会议强调,要坚持客货并举,确保完成全年盈亏目标,完成全年主要任务。 就当前铁路投资规模,联合资信评估股份有限公司在《国铁集团信用评级公告》中认为,目前中国各地区单位面积拥有的铁路营业里程差异较大,京津及其周边地区、华北平原、沿海等地区的铁路密度较高,西部即内陆沿边地区铁路密度较低,区域发展仍不平衡。长期来看,中国铁路网络仍有待完善,未来路网建设仍有较大空间,行业投资规模仍将保持高位。 国铁集团《2020年度财务报告》显示,截至2020年底,国铁集团负债5.71万亿元,较上年同期的5.49万亿元增加4.01%;负债率微降至65.63%;国铁集团在建工程9392.11亿元,“十四五”期间,铁路在建、已批项目规模达3.19万亿元。截至2021年一季度末,全国铁路营业里程达到14.67万公里,其中高铁3.83万公里。 截至目前,铁路年度投资峰值为2010年,国铁集团前身原铁道部当年固定资产投资高达8426.52亿元。
