Tianjin Textile Industry: Ten Years After WTO Entry, Opportunities And Challenges Facing Development And Achievements Achieved

In November 16th, the international economic operation Department of Tianjin textile group was selected as the 10th anniversary cum in China. Tianjin WTO center delivered a speech at the 9th anniversary commemorative seminar, and made its own views on the opportunities and challenges facing the development of Tianjin's textile industry under the new situation.

Yu Xiuyan introduced that as a traditional exporter, Tianjin textile industry has entered the WTO. Economics In the total volume, the proportion of foreign trade and import and export has always been above 40%. By 2010, the total import and export volume increased by 3.24 times than that in the initial stage of WTO accession, and played an important role in promoting the whole system industrial structure adjustment and production and sales promotion.

Yu Xiuyan said that in the past ten years, Tianjin textile industry It has gone out of a road of constant readjustment, continuous improvement and adaptation to its own development. The main approaches include five aspects:

First, we should develop smoothly and transform the growth pattern of export trade. After joining the WTO, facing the increasingly complex textile and garment export market, on the basis of conscientiously summarizing the export work and analyzing the development trend of the international market, it puts forward the "four adjustment" strategic thinking of "adjusting the export area to the ocean area, the non quota area and the high price area; adjusting the high value-added products and the final products on the export products; reducing the intermediate links in the export channels, adjusting to the terminal customers; adjusting the mode of export to the general trade mode".

Yu Xiuyan said that by the end of 2010, through the implementation of the "four adjustments" strategy, the general trade export volume of Tianjin textile industry has been increasing year by year since 2002, and has been stable over 80% in recent years. In terms of the structure of export products, to 2010, the total system of non textile products exports 256 million US dollars, accounting for more than 1/3 of the total export volume, which is 2 times higher than the initial stage of WTO accession. It not only achieves the stability of the overall export scale, but also realizes the structural transformation of export products.

Two, follow the situation closely and go out to look for the market. Yu Xiuyan said that since the entry into the WTO in 2001, every year, the Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies has taken the lead in organizing the import and export enterprises in the system to participate in the textile and clothing professional exhibitions with a certain scale and influence overseas, and making full use of these opportunities to go to the international market, launch products, make wide contacts with customers, understand market information, and actively participate in international competition.

The three is to expand the import and export trade. In 2009, with the spread of the financial crisis in the world, foreign trade orders fell by more than 20%-30%, and the risk of export trade suddenly increased. In view of this situation, Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CITIC insurance Tianjin branch. This has greatly enhanced the competitiveness of enterprises and the ability to resist trade risks. In 2010, the total insured amount reached US $218 million, and this figure will reach US $420 million in 2011. Through two years' cooperation with CITIC insurance, enterprises have achieved steady increase in import and export volume in the increasingly difficult external trade environment.

The four is to integrate the import and export trade and further change the mode of growth. We should make arrangements ahead of schedule, actively adjust the way of operation, and expand imports with the appreciation of RMB and the price difference between domestic and international raw materials. Yu Xiuyan introduced that in 2011, the Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies made the import trade as an economic indicator to assess the import and export enterprises. Up to now, good results have been achieved: in the 1-9 months of this year, the import and export volume increased by 27.1% over the same period of the year, and the total import and export volume is expected to reach 1 billion 120 million US dollars in the whole year.

In addition, in view of the trend of RMB exchange rate, we should actively communicate with all relevant financial institutions, and explore and explore financial instruments and financial products that are suitable for enterprises, so as to improve the efficiency and efficiency of enterprise capital utilization. Various measures have been adopted to enhance the efficiency of capital utilization, avoid exchange rate risks and raise the level of efficiency. More importantly, by carrying out these businesses, the operation of capital has been strengthened, so that the operation of enterprises has developed to a more advanced level, and new means of profit and profit have been added to enterprises.

Five, we should pay attention to the construction of professional teams and strengthen the basic management of import and export trade. To develop an export-oriented economy, talent is the key and management is the foundation. In order to coordinate and guide the import and export of enterprises, Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies has always stressed the importance of cultivating professional talents. At the same time, import and export enterprises are required to pay attention to internal basic management and standardize various import and export business processes. At present, all the import and export enterprises of the whole system have adopted the scientific management tools such as ERP electronic commerce. After years of unremitting efforts, the import and export volume of Tianjin textile industry has maintained steady growth in the past ten years, and has also built up a backbone team for foreign trade and import and export business.

Finally, in the summary of Xi Yan, ten years since joining the WTO, Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies has made remarkable achievements in its import and export work: self occupied export accounts for more than 1/3 of the state owned assets system of Tianjin for many years; the company of Tian Fang and garments import and export company, which belongs to the holding company, has been listed in the top 50 export enterprises of Tianjin for many years. In the future, Tianjin textile Group Holding Companies will continue to follow the "WTO" rules, be good at finding market opportunities, foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, and strive to make Tianjin's textile industry import and export work in a stronger and bigger way to take new steps and create new achievements.
