Next Year'S Foreign Trade Policy Is Stable.

A few days ago, Wang Qishan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, visited Shenyang, Liaoning, and held six provinces and municipalities.

Current international

Wang Qishan also suggested that we should help solve the difficulties of import and export enterprises, especially small and medium-sized import and export enterprises, and actively expand imports. We also pointed out that we should win by quality and vigorously develop new markets while consolidating traditional markets.

Experts believe that the signal released by this conference is intriguing on the eve of the central economic work conference this year.

Steady growth, structural adjustment and promotion of balance will be the central economic work conference this year.

Calling for steady growth in difficulties

At the forum, Wang Qishan listened to the speeches of the responsible comrades of Liaoning, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Guangdong provinces, and positively affirmed the achievements made in China's import and export, pfer mode and structural adjustment since the beginning of this year. At the same time, it pointed out that the severe and complicated world economic situation will inevitably lead to insufficient global total demand, and this unfavorable external environment will also bring difficulties to China's current foreign trade.

The difficulties do exist. Since the second half of this year, the foreign trade situation has shown a more obvious inflection point momentum.

According to the import and export data released by the General Administration of customs, although the total import value and total export value and import and export value have maintained an increase on the basis of the same period last year, the monthly growth rate has declined.

In August, the total value of China's exports began to decline from 1 trillion and 751 billion 128 million US dollars in July to 173 billion 316 million US dollars, a decrease of 1.1%. In September, the total export value, import value and import and export gross value all showed a downward trend, with a decrease of 2.1%, 0.2% and 1.2% respectively. In October, the decline of these 3 figures increased further, reaching 7.2%, 9.5% and 8.3% respectively.

The slump in the foreign trade situation is also evident from the "barometer of China's foreign trade" - the turnover of the Canton Fair.

Data show that, by the continued weakening of the European and American economies, the buyers and purchasers of the 110th Canton Fair in Europe and the United States have more wait-and-see enquiries, and the actual turnover has dropped by 19% and 24% respectively.

In the face of the severe foreign trade situation, Wang Qishan said that we should continue to maintain the stability and continuity of foreign trade policies, effectively lighten the tax burden of import and export enterprises, and increase financial support for export enterprises with orders and efficiency. We should pay special attention to solving the difficulties of small and medium-sized export enterprises.

At the same time, all regions and relevant departments should make firm confidence and in-depth analysis of the situation in order to ensure the steady growth of import and export.

Adjustment of structure and expansion of imports

At the symposium, Wang Qishan also stressed that we should actively expand imports, clean up unreasonable restrictions on import links and raise the level of import facilitation.

We must win by quality and vigorously develop new markets while consolidating traditional markets.

The industry believes that judging from this statement, in addition to steady growth, expanding imports and restructuring next year will also be the highlight of the pformation of the foreign trade development mode.

Feng Lei, director of the international trade and Investment Research Institute of the Institute of Finance and Trade Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with our reporter that the deteriorating international economic environment is also an opportunity for China's development objectively. "Steady growth, structural adjustment and balanced promotion" can be done more.

Feng Lei said that in expanding imports, we should also focus on adjusting the structure of imported products and promoting China's industrial upgrading.

Feng Lei believes that when the economy is heading for difficulties, the developed countries in the past that restrict the export of high-tech products to China may have to loosen their exports moderately, which will bring opportunities for China to achieve rapid development again.

Li Jian, a researcher at the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with our reporter that domestic export enterprises could take measures such as optimizing commodity structure, optimizing market structure and changing the mode of trade, so as to improve their capability of independent innovation, build brands and increase the added value of export products, so that the export level will also be pformed and promoted.

Li Jian further pointed out that the realization of trade balance can not only change our excessive reliance on the international market in the past, but also bring enormous business opportunities to import and export enterprises and promote the deepening of international trade cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that the experts interviewed generally believe that the stability and continuity of the foreign trade policy should be maintained next year, while the pressure on small and medium-sized export enterprises should be reduced.

Compared with the increasingly mature export market, Feng Lei believes that this year's central economic work conference should pay more attention to exploring policies and measures to expand imports.
