in 2021, central enterprises achieved 36.3 trillion yuan in operating revenue and 1.8 trillion yuan in net profit, up 19.5 percent and 29.8 percent year-on-year respectively. the profit margin on operating revenue, r&d investment intensity, total labor productivity, and asset-liability ratio also fully met the targets set.
"the performance growth of central soes hit a record high." peng huagang said at the press conference that in the past year, despite various risks and challenges, china's economy continued to recover steadily, providing a good external environment for the development of enterprises, and state-owned enterprises made early plans and early actions, which also won the initiative for business development.
according to the report, although the current external environment is more complex and severe, the central enterprises have clearly identified challenging targets and tasks for 2022 --
total profits and net profits will grow faster than the national economy. the debt-to-asset ratio should be kept below 65 percent. the profit margin on operating income should be increased by 0.1 percentage points, overall labor productivity should be increased by 5 percent, and r&d investment should be further increased.
"for central government enterprises, the most important thing is to achieve steady growth of their own, and to make progress while maintaining stability is to contribute to national economic growth." peng huagang said state-owned enterprises will combine stabilizing growth with promoting high-quality development, so as to make greater contributions to economic and social development.
the key to achieving these goals is to make reform more dynamic and dynamic. so far, 70 percent of the targets and tasks set in the three-year soe reform campaign have been completed, and a series of important progress has been made.
take restructuring and integration as an example, last year, the number of related reform projects, the strength of the big, caused widespread attention. peng huagang said that this year will further strengthen the top-level design, around the industrial structural contradictions, serious homogeneity of competition, innovation resources scattered in the industry and fields, overall planning of restructuring and integration of the overall goal direction and key tasks.

mixed ownership reform is an important way to improve the vitality of state-owned enterprises. last year, central government enterprises carried out more than 890 mixed-ownership reform projects through market-oriented means, attracting more than 380 billion yuan of private capital.
at the same time, with a view to strengthening industrial chain cooperation and fostering new growth points, central government enterprises will invest in private enterprises through market-based methods. up to now, it has accumulated more than 6,000 foreign enterprises.
peng huagang said that the next stage of mixed-use reform should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of improving governance, strengthening incentives, highlighting the main business, and improving efficiency. the necessity and feasibility of promoting mixed-use reform should be fully studied according to the functional positioning of enterprises, and changes should be made when appropriate to avoid blindness and avoid "mixing all of them together".
according to him, this year is the end of the three years of soe reform, state-owned state-owned enterprises will focus on the target tasks to grasp the end, focus on the key and difficult to grasp the key, focus on consolidation, expansion and promotion of three aspects of work.
"we will strengthen the confidence and determination to improve the performance of state-owned enterprises and develop and expand the state-owned economy, maintain the strategic resolve to make state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises stronger, anchor the target, and make all-out efforts to overcome the difficulties, so as to ensure the decisive battle in the three-year campaign and achieve results that can stand the test of history," peng huagang said.
