中国矿业部门报告(2018-2022年)
In 2017, China’s coal mining sector registered an improved y/y performance, which was attributed to a
number of factors such as the favourable domestic economic conditions and the ongoing supply-side
reform and coal industry consolidation, accompanied by high coal prices. The government continued
its efforts to “clean up” the coal sector and optimise its operating efficiency through a number of
measures. The main stress was put on the restructuring of SOEs, elimination of small, outdated and
inefficient production facilities, as well as decreasing the excess coal production capacity. The
stronger performance of China’s coal sector in 2017 was also a result of the improved balance
between coal supply and demand on the domestic market, the increased power consumption and the
y/y recovery of thermal power generation. The above factors contributed to improved production
efficiency and higher profitability of the coal mining businesses. The revenue of coal mining
enterprises rose from RMB 2,233bn in 2016 to RMB 2,544bn in 2017, while the net profit hiked from
RMB 116bn to RMB 296bn. The number of coal mining enterprises rose to 5,111, up from 5,049 units in
2016.
