The price of ladders introduced the cost of building materials industry to meet the pressure

The price adjustment system closely related to people’s daily life has been announced in succession. The publicity of water price and natural gas price adjustment has just been introduced, and the ladder price standard has also entered the consultation stage. One sure thing is that the price of these energy products can only rise without falling. The further increase in the cost of living for residents has caused the cost control of building materials companies to become predicament: the increase in raw material costs has not yet been digested, and pay compensation has become a problem that companies must face.

For some time, there have been hearings on water price adjustments in various parts of the country, followed by an increase in the price of water. On June 1 this year, the National Development and Reform Commission unifiedly raised the domestic natural gas ex-factory price by 0.23 yuan/cubic meter, and stipulated that it should increase by 10% on the basis of the adjusted benchmark price, and at the same time require all localities to straighten out the downstream natural gas sales price; The price of civil gas has been raised in various regions.

The price increase of civil natural gas has not ended yet, and the ladder price standard (draft for soliciting opinions) also arrived on the 9th of this month. It is understood that the proposed ladder pricing standard “draft for solicitation” provides two options for dividing the power grade. The first tranche of electricity is determined according to the monthly average electricity consumption of residential households covering 70% (average monthly national level at 110 degrees) or 80% (140 degrees per month), and the electricity prices are basically stable and each kWh is increased by 1 point. Money; second-tier electricity is set at 90% (210 degrees per month) or 95% (270 degrees per month) for resident users, and the price per kWh is not less than 5 cents; Second-grade electricity, the price per kilowatt is not less than 0.20 yuan.

It is not just water and electricity prices that are rising. The cost of living in all aspects of food prices, vegetable prices, and oil prices is increasing. The proposed price ladder is a signal, and building materials companies are also facing a general increase in the cost of raw materials, and now companies have to face the increase in the cost of employees pay. It can be said that the appropriate increase in employee salaries is a social responsibility that must be fulfilled by building materials companies. From the perspective of maintaining the normal operation of the company, it is also necessary for enterprises to increase their wages. However, the increase in costs depends on the internal digestion of the company, or the increase in ex-factory prices and sales prices of building materials. This has become a problem that building materials companies need to consider.
