2. China s Economic Development Goals in the 13th Five Year Plan Economic growth According to the government's development goals, China will complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects in 2020, maintain the economic growth target of 6.5%~7% and accomplish per capita income exceeding ten thousand dollars. Economic structure Basically achieving new industrialization and initally completing the upgrading of Industry 2.0 to Industry 3.0 by 2020; accelerating the development of the service sector, and expecting the proportion of service sector in GDP to raise up to at least 55% by 2020. Urbaniza -tion Carrying out a new type of people-centered urbanization; promoting the household registration system, residence permit and land transfer regulations; achieving high quality of urbanization standard, i.e. resident population urbanizaton rate and registered population urbanization rate reach 60% and 45% respectively. 2016.09.08 Singapore 02 3
2. Scenario:China s Economic Growth in the New Normal BAU Scenario High-growth Scenario China s average annual GDP growth rate in 2016-2020 will be 6.5%. By 2020, GDP per capita will exceed US$10,000. New-type industrialization will be realized, and service sector will account for over 55%, the proportion of industry sector will decline to 30%. The urbanization rate of permanent resident population will reach 60%. With rapidly expanding urbanization, investment will still play a dominant role in economic growth, real estate maintains high-speed growth, newtype industry develops fast, urbanization rate is accelerated, rapid recovery of overseas market will drive fast growth of export. China s average annual GDP growth rate in 2016-2020 will be 7.5%. Low-growth Scenario Transformation of economic structure is failed, China s economy falls into Middle Income Trap', real estate market bubble breaks, investment growth rate falls down greatly, income growth slows down, consumption growth is restrained, and external demand is weakened. China s average annual GDP growth rate in 2016-2020 will be 5.5%.

4. China s naphtha demand will grow at a lower-middle speed In 2015, China s ethylene production reached 17.15 MMt (1.1% y-o-y); propylene production was 19.9 MMt (7.8% y-o-y); naphtha consumption totaled 35 MMt (7.2% y-o-y). Crude oil price stays low, while the economy of petroleum-base chemical rises again. Domestic naphtha demand will reach 39MMt and 48MMt in 2020 and 2030 respectively on BAU case, considering the growth of domestic petroleum-base ethylene output. Its average annual growth rate will be 2.2% and 2.1% in 2015-2020 and 2020-2030 respectively.

Per capita oil consumption (ton) 6. China s oil demand will reach the peak of 680MMt around 2030 Comparative analysis: compare and analyze the key factors that impact oil demand (economic aggregates and structure, population, urbanization, industrialization stage, alternative energy, etc.). Referring to experiences of developed countries and China's planning, China's total population and urbanizaton rate will be maximized in 2025-2030, thus China's oil demand peak will be 800MMt, yet acual demand will be approximately 680MMt. Model analysis: consider the factors such as GDP, industrial structure, population, energy consumption per unit from the aspect of demand; use the optimization methods of multiple regression and stepwise regression. We predict that China's oil demand will reach the peak of 680 MMt around 2030. Oil Consumption Peak of Developed Countries United States Japan Germany Korea After the oil crisis in 1970s, population and economy factors drive oil consumption to rise again; and after 2008, economic crisis and auto saturation lead to oil consumption peak again. Population aging arose from 1980s, economic and urbanization development drive oil consumption; Asian economic crisis occurred in 1990s, and alternative energy development drives oil consumption to reach peak volume. Fast development of diesel cars and improvement of automobile fuel economy has great impact on oil demand. Oil demand intensity began to fall after the Asian economic crisis. 4 3 2 1 0 GDP and oil consumption per capita of main countries in recent years 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 Per capita GDP(US dollar) United States Germany France United Kingdom Japan India 2016.09.08 Singapore 12 13

Conclusion The driving force of economy for oil consumption is weakened, oil demand will keep a low growth of 2%-3%, and external dependence rate will also increase. Characteristics of oil consumption demand will be low growth, low consumption and low pollution. Demand growth of different oil products continues to be diversified. Domestic oil products market is loose, and export (especially for diesel) is becoming large scaled. Alternative energy represented by natural gas and electricity will develop more rapidly. 2016.09.08 Singapore 14 15
