In The First Half Of This Year, Shanghai'S Export Growth Surpassed That Of The Whole Country.

In the first half of this year, Shanghai realized export of US $80 billion 498 million, an increase of 25.12% over the same period last year. The growth rate is not only 4.2 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year, but also 3.2 percentage points higher than that of the first half of the year.

Information from customs shows that in the first half of the year, the growth rate of Shanghai's foreign trade exports was higher than that of the whole country. Firstly, the proportion of high-tech industries and mechanical and electrical products was higher than that of the whole country, while the proportion of high-energy, high energy consumption and resource based "two high one capital" products and low value-added products was relatively low. In recent years, a series of policy adjustments such as national processing trade restrictive measures and export tax adjustment had a weaker impact on Shanghai's exports than the whole country.

Compared with exports, the growth rate of imports in Shanghai was relatively low in the first half of the year, mainly because Shanghai enterprises had less dependence on primary materials, and energy and resource imports accounted for a relatively low proportion of similar products in the country.
