Infrastructure investment is not only roads and railways, but also a large number of new infrastructure, energy and resource-based infrastructure, as well as infrastructure related to value chain and industrial chain, which plays an important role in supporting the high-quality development of China's economy. Listed companies actively participate in the construction The reporter noted that the investment projects of many listed companies have also been selected into the list of local major projects. For example, recently, Lianhong Xinke disclosed on the investor interaction platform that the company's lithium battery material carbonate combined device project and the subsidiary Lianhong gerun new energy materials and biodegradable materials integration project were selected into the list of major projects in Shandong Province in 2022. Lianhong Xinke said that being selected into the list of major projects in the province will help the above projects obtain more resource guarantee and policy support, and promote the early completion and operation of the project. Some companies also said that the implementation of major projects will bring opportunities for the development of the company. For example, century Riel said that the company will actively grasp market opportunities, improve the overall strength of the company and strive to achieve steady growth of performance; Yahua group said that under the "double carbon" goal, with the continuous implementation of major projects brought by the state's increased infrastructure investment, it will bring greater development opportunities to the company's blasting business. Ding Zhenyu, senior investment consultant of Jufeng investment consulting, told the Securities Daily that the participation of Listed Companies in major projects can improve the popularity and reputation of listed companies, not only help to improve the company's image and even performance, but also effectively promote local economic growth. Generally speaking, if the company participates in major projects, it can obtain more resource guarantee and policy support, such as tax relief and financial subsidies. (Xinhua News Agency)
