[编译]马来西亚水泥价格暴涨40%的真相竟是?

2019-06-27 11:18:18

2019年6月中旬,马来西亚水泥和混凝土突然宣布涨价40%,引起市场恐慌。政府已介入……

  近期,马来西亚竞争委员会(Malaysia Competition Commission)表示将格外关注水泥行业。委员会表示,已注意到水泥和混凝土生产商最近的价格上涨,并且已经和贸易和消费者事务部(Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs)合作。另外,委员会还表示,它很清楚最近YTL和拉法基的合并,这导致市场在上游和下游更加集中。

  发生这种状况的背景是,2019年6月中旬,至少有一家未具名的水泥生产商宣布涨价40%,导致终端用户惊慌失措,当地媒体报道了此事。马来西亚水泥混凝土协会在被问询此事时,曾为价格上涨进行了辩护,原因是各种各样的投入成本不断上升。公平地说,马来西亚竞争委员会在2017年发布的一份报告中承认,由于投入成本该行业面临价格压力。

  目前,政府已经参与其中,贸易和消费者事务的负责人表示,生产商已经同意不提价,任何未来的计划价格调整都将首先与监管层面“讨论”,让局势稳定了下来。随后,马来西亚财政部长林冠英呼吁对马来西亚东部的价格开展调查,以确定是否类似卡特尔的行为导致砂劳越水泥价格上涨。他指出,该州的价格“明显”高于马来西亚半岛。作为回应,CMS水泥首席执行官苏莱曼直接回击了这一说法,他指责马来西亚半岛的行业并购,并表示公司近期没有涨价计划。苏莱曼提到,对马来西亚半岛和砂劳越之间价格差异的任何潜在调查,都将表明这家水泥生产商自2016年初以来没有提价。“我们欢迎调查有两个原因,首先这将表明,价格差异纯粹是由于最近激烈的价格战,这也导致了在马来西亚半岛的行业并购”,苏莱曼说,“其次,这种性质的调查也将一劳永逸地表明,砂劳越不是,也从未是水泥行业的垄断者。”

  正如马来西亚竞争委员会善意指出的那样,在拉法基豪瑞将其在当地的子公司剥离给YTL大约一个月后,整个风波就发生了。该委员会同意YTL收购马来西亚拉法基,它清楚YTL将拥有马来西亚逾一半的产能。考虑到这一点,委员会在面对哪怕是一点点市场不当行为时,想表现得强硬一点不管这种行为是否真实存在,并不令人意外。

  正如马来西亚竞争委员会在其声明中所暗示的那样,当地水泥行业产能过剩。此外,自2015年以来,国内需求一直在萎缩。根据最新数据,马来西亚全国拥有11家综合水泥厂,产能达2710万吨/年。2015年产量达到2470万吨的高点,2017年下降至1880万吨。马来西亚水泥和混凝土协会的数据展示了一个更坏的局面,如果将综合粉磨能力考虑进去,2016年的行业产能利用率仅为59%。2018年底,拉法基马来西亚收入下降,税前亏损9770万美元。不久之后,拉法基宣布将退出该国以及邻国新加坡的水泥市场。

  理论上,YTL的收购本应能解决马来西亚产能过剩问题,因为它要么通过合并两家公司获得协同效应,要么关闭部分工厂。当然,这一体系似乎在一定程度上发挥了作用,因为拟议的40%的价格上涨并没有发生。然而,如果政府是对选民而不是市场做出反应,它可能无限期地延长产能和需求缺口。在这种情况下,拉法基退出东南亚的决定可能是有先见之明的。

Involution is a roadblock to the development of the industry and a fat stone to move forward, which is harmful but not beneficial. Because the core of involution competition is to protect oneself, protect the market, and fight price war, once the enterprise is difficult to operate and its efficiency declines, without economic support, the enterprise is like a body drive with its skeleton and blood removed, unable to gain a foothold, it can no longer have new ideals and goals, can no longer concentrate on technological innovation and effective technological transformation, and can no longer take society and the overall situation into account. It is impossible to truly achieve green, low-carbon and digital operation, in short, enterprises without economic support will be eliminated and eliminated sooner or later, where can we talk about progress and development?

However, it should be noted that brand promotion is not achieved overnight, but requires years or even decades of efforts. Our primary service offering is pricing strategies for large and mid-sized businesses to improve margins and achieve growth. The profit is equal to the price times the sales volume minus the cost. According to our research, there is a tenfold relationship between pricing and profit, while there is only a sixfold relationship between cost and sales volume, because when sales volume increases, the corresponding cost will also rise. We support Chinese enterprises to improve their profits, because only profits are the key to the survival of enterprises.
