財政部:新能源汽車補貼政策將逐步取消

China will end subsidies for new-energy vehicles (NEVs) after 2020, but analysts said on Sunday that government support for the sector is still needed.

據報道，中國在2020年以後將會結束新能源汽車補貼政策，但是相關分析人員週日表示，政府仍需對該行業進行大力支持。

In a post on the website of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on Saturday, Finance Minister Lou Jiwei was quoted as saying that China plans to gradually phase out subsidies for NEVs and pursue market-based policies to support the development of the sector.

在週六，財政部的網站上發佈了這樣一則消息，該消息引用了財政部部長樓繼偉的話，這樣寫道；“中國計劃逐步取消對新能源汽車的補貼並努力通過市場政策來扶持該行業的發展。”

Some NEV manufacturers rely too much on government subsidies, which means that they lack the motivation to make technological breakthroughs, said Lou.

樓繼偉表示，一些新能源汽車製造商過度依賴政府補貼，這也意味着他們缺少取得技術突破的動力。

The MOF plans to cut the subsidies progressively, by 20 percent from 2016 levels during the 2017-18 period, and by 40 percent between 2019 and 2020. The subsidies will be eliminated altogether after 2020.

財政部計劃逐步減少政府補貼，2017年至2018年新能源汽車補貼標準將在2016年基礎上下調20%，2019年至2020年則會下調40%。2020年以後補貼政策將退出。

Su Hui, a senior analyst at the China Automobile Dealers Association, told the Global Times on Sunday that the authorities also want to crack down on subsidy-related fraud in the country's NEV industry.

中國汽車流通協會高級分析師蘇輝週日告訴環球時報，當局還想打擊在我國新能源汽車產業中存在的和補貼相關的欺詐行爲。

"Subsidy-related fraud is not that common. And with the increasingly strict supervision, such practices will be eradicated," Su said.

蘇輝說道：“與補貼相關的欺詐現象並不普遍。而隨着監管的力度越來越嚴格，這種欺詐的行爲將會被根除。”
