Taizhou'S Total Import And Export Value Is 7 Billion 930 Million US Dollars.

Since the first half of this year, the world economy has continued to recover, and the domestic economic recovery has been further strengthened. Taizhou's foreign trade has also maintained a relatively fast recovery since the end of last year.

According to Taizhou customs statistics, the total import and export value of Taizhou in the first half of this year was 7 billion 930 million US dollars, an increase of 45.3% over the same period last year.

First half year

According to statistics, in the first half of this year, the export volume of our city amounted to 6 billion 450 million US dollars, an increase of 38.7%.

Customs staff analysis showed that the substantial increase in Taizhou's foreign trade in the first half of this year was mainly due to the growth of the external demand brought by the gradual recovery of the world economy and the recharge of foreign stocks. The traditional bulk commodities such as electromechanical products and textiles and garments in China still have a large competitive advantage in the world.

In the first half of this year, our mechanical and electrical products exported 3 billion 540 million US dollars, an increase of 48.9%, accounting for 54.9% of the total export volume of the city. Among them, the export of key electromechanical products such as ships and industrial sewing machines increased significantly, with an increase of 58.9% and 97.8% respectively.

In addition, the export of traditional furniture, footwear and textiles in our city has increased by more than 20%, and the export growth rate of auto parts and plastic products is more than 40%.

Import raw materials volume and price rise

In terms of imports, the city imported 1 billion 480 million US dollars in the first half of this year, an increase of 83%.

Support for external demand improvement

It is understood that the bulk of raw material prices continued to rise collectively in recent years, which is also the reason for the significant increase in total imports.

In the first half of this year, the total import value of scrap steel, scrap copper and primary shape plastics increased by 38.2%, 2.3 times and 21.8% respectively.

In addition, mechanical and electrical products imported 130 million US dollars, an increase of 57.9%.

second half

In the first half of the year, the total import and export value of Taizhou's foreign trade and export value had a new high, indicating that the development of Taizhou's foreign trade has gradually gone out of the shadow of the financial crisis, showing a good situation of steady recovery.

However, the prospect of world economic recovery is still uncertain. Influenced by many factors at home and abroad, there are many variables in the second half of this year's foreign trade situation.

The industry believes that the impact of the current European debt crisis can not be ignored.

The European Union is the largest export market in our city. In the first half of this year, our city exported $1 billion 820 million to the EU market, accounting for 28% of the total exports of the city. Its export value increased by 38.5% over the same period last year, and its growth rate was 10.7 percentage points lower than that of the whole city.

Although the adverse effects of the European debt crisis are not obvious at present, the EU's import demand is hard to grow effectively due to the gloomy economic recovery prospects, which will directly adversely affect the export of our city.

Plus, in recent months, the continued depreciation of the euro against the RMB has seriously weakened the competitiveness of China's exports in the European market.

Moreover, various anti-dumping and countervailing measures are coming one after another. In the future, China's export prospects for the EU are extremely uncertain.

In addition, since the first half of this year, although the overall business environment has improved, the price of domestic raw materials continues to rise as the price of commodities such as crude oil, gold and grain continues to fluctuate.

At the same time, under the pressure of RMB appreciation, export tax rebate adjustment and labor cost increase, the export of enterprises will face double pressures of increasing international competition and rising domestic costs.
