Many places have relaxed the restrictions on car purchases. Why are Beijing and Shanghai still doing nothing?

In order to boost consumption, on August 27th, the General Office of the State Council issued "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Circulation to Promote Commercial Consumption", proposing to release the potential of automobile consumption and exploring specific measures to gradually relax or cancel the purchase restriction.

Before this, it seems that the cancellation of the car purchase restriction has long been announced. On June 6th, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the Notice on the Implementation Plan (20 19-2020) for Promoting the Upgrading of Key Consumer Goods and Smooth Resource Circulation (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), in which it has been required that "all localities shall not restrict or restrict the purchase of new energy vehicles in disguised form, and all those that have been implemented shall be cancelled".

In June, Guangzhou and Shenzhen introduced a new policy to relax the car lottery and auction indicators. Among them, Guangzhou plans to increase the quota of 654.38+10,000 small and medium-sized buses from June 20 19 to February 2020. Shenzhen plans to increase 40,000 ordinary cars every year this year and next, with an increase of 50%.

Up to now, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Guiyang and Hainan have announced the liberalization or relaxation of the automobile purchase restriction policy.

Compared with Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Guiyang has taken a more direct approach and completely cancelled the car lottery policy, becoming the first city in nine provinces and cities to cancel the purchase restriction policy. Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, believes that Hangzhou and Tianjin may also relax the automobile purchase restriction.

Will Beijing and Shanghai respond and let go of the car purchase restriction? Yang Tao, dean of Nanjing Urban and Transportation Planning and Design Institute, believes that it will not be directly released. "The problems of road congestion and environmental pollution in megacities and big cities are still very prominent. Considering the requirements of cities to achieve high quality, sustainable development and environmental protection, megacities and big cities that have taken measures such as restricting purchases and restrictions will not be easily liberalized in the short term, nor should they be eager to liberalize.
