Jiangsu, Zhejiang And Shanghai Garment Enterprises Start "Defending War" In Foreign Trade

Judy, the foreign trade manager of export business, has been busy choosing the next season for customers.

Order style, and choose the appropriate factory custom sample.

"European customer orders are hard to do this year, although the total export volume of the company has not declined, but the customers are very pressing on orders, and the number of orders per time is less than before."

Judy said that the export situation in the second half of this year is still not well judged, and the situation is not very clear.

This is only a microcosm of the general economic weakness of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

In the first half of this year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai foreign trade suffered from Waterloo, and industrial growth was weak, and the efficiency of enterprises declined.

Jiangsu relies on the development of new and high technology industries and strategic emerging industries, and its economic development is more balanced.

How to grasp the relationship between "structural adjustment" and "steady growth", where the new growth point is, is the top priority of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the process of pformation.

"Defending war" in foreign trade

Data show that: in the first 5 months of this year, the total import and export volume of Jiangsu decreased by 0.7% compared with the same period last year. The total import and export volume of Zhejiang increased by 4.1% compared to the same period last year, and the total import and export volume of Shanghai increased by 3.8% over the same period last year.

The growth rate of foreign trade is no longer in sight, but also the "Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai" areas with the export oriented economy are quite "headache".

"Now customers have very high requirements for orders. For fashion, for example, we need to make 8 seasons of fashion in a year. The change is very fast. Many customers ask our company to provide styles and styles."

Judy said, "domestic labor costs are also rising. Many customers have already ordered basic orders in Southeast Asia. We can only strive for more fashion orders."

Wang Xiuyu, foreign trade manager of Shanghai Ying Ke Industrial Co., Ltd., said that orders from traditional markets this year are still very low.

"Company

It has increased by about 10%~15% compared with last year, mainly due to the opening up of emerging markets and new customers. "

Wang Xiuyu said, "we are looking for new customers for Southeast Asia and Russia and other places, but they are also very difficult, and even have opened up e-commerce promotion."

In the face of the weakness of traditional products and traditional market growth, the Jiangsu provincial government has aimed at the new position of growth in the "defensive position" of foreign trade.

Li Xueyong, governor of Jiangsu Province, pointed out that Jiangsu should speed up fostering new growth points of foreign trade and support new industries such as new energy, new medicine, environmental protection equipment, high-end equipment manufacturing, marine equipment and other new industries to open up international markets in Jiangsu province.

"The structure of Jiangsu's foreign trade needs to be further adjusted, and exports to Europe and the US are quite large. In the future, it is necessary to increase the export proportion to some developing countries with potential development in Africa and Southeast Asia."

Zhang Shourong, deputy director of the regional development research center of the Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, said.

Gong Zheng, vice governor of Zhejiang, also pointed out at the special session of the province's foreign trade work: "this year's foreign trade situation is more severe than expected at the beginning of the year. It is difficult to achieve more than 10% of annual export growth."

Transformation problems remain to be solved

In addition to foreign trade situation is still grim, in the first half of this year, the industrial growth of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is still weak, the delivery value of industrial enterprises is in the downstream channel, and the efficiency of industrial enterprises in all parts of the country has declined significantly, which has also formed a certain pressure on "steady growth".

Data show that in 1~5 months, the industrial added value of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size reached 1 trillion and 50 billion yuan, an increase of 11.8% over the same period last year, but the sales rate of industrial products decreased by 0.4 percentage points compared with the same period last year. The added value of Industrial Enterprises above designated size in Zhejiang province was 410 billion 120 million yuan, an increase of 5% over the same period last year, and the delivery value of exports decreased by 1% compared to the same period last year. The total output value of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size in Jiangsu was 1 trillion and 270 billion yuan, an increase of 0.3% over the same period last year, while the delivery value of exports decreased by 6.2%.

In addition, in 1~4 months, the number of deficit enterprises in Zhejiang's Industrial Enterprises above designated size increased by 30% compared to the same period last year. The number of deficit enterprises in Jiangsu increased by 33.1% compared to the same period last year. In the 1~5 months of this year, the main business income of industrial enterprises above Designated Size in Shanghai also dropped by 1.8% over the same period last year.

Chen Jianjun, executive director of the regional and urban development research center of Zhejiang University, told our reporter that this year's overall economic situation in Zhejiang is not particularly optimistic. Some industries are facing some problems of overcapacity. Moreover, Zhejiang takes the private economy as the main body, and its ability to resist risks is relatively weak.

"The characteristic of Jiangsu is that industrial pformation and upgrading are better than Zhejiang. The proportion of high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries is higher than that of Zhejiang, and the export oriented economy is also more balanced than Zhejiang."

Chen Jianjun said.

However, a problem that can not be ignored is how the coastal developed areas have grasped the relationship between "structural adjustment" and "steady growth" after the sustained economic growth for many years. There are still many difficulties to be solved in the process of pformation.

Li Xueyong made a judgement on the current economic situation at the standing session of the Jiangsu provincial government held in June 30th. "Insufficient effective demand has become a major contradiction affecting the stable operation of the economy, and the pressure to maintain steady and rapid economic growth is still relatively large."

In the face of the current downward pressure on the economy, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are speeding up the construction of major projects in the path of "steady growth".

Luo Zhijun, Secretary of the Jiangsu provincial Party committee, made clear at the meeting of the leading cadres of the provincial Party committee recently held that we must resolutely reverse the trend of the decline in investment growth, and strive to maintain steady growth in the investment of the whole society and promote the coordinated growth of government investment and social investment.

"Major projects scheduled for 12th Five-Year should be implemented on schedule to ensure that funds are put in place and put in place for projects under construction or renewal."

"Investment drive is indispensable, but the direction of investment should be changed and not repeated investment."

Zhang Shourong said, "we need to improve effective investment, especially innovative investment, such as the high-tech industry, including the" ten strategic emerging industries "in Jiangsu, so as to improve the efficiency of investment.

In this regard, Chen Jianjun also said that in a short period of time to maintain high economic development in Zhejiang, only by stimulating investment.

"Investment is not bad. After all, we are still a developing country, and many infrastructure is not perfect enough. Only enough infrastructure can drive effective demand."
