Zhejiang Jiaxing Exports Low Innovation

Reporters from the city's focus foreign trade enterprise During the meeting, we learned that from 1 to July this year, the total import and export volume of the city reached US $16 billion 636 million, an increase of 2.8% over the same period last year, which is 0.8 percentage points higher than that of the whole province. Nevertheless, the growth rate of 2.8% remains the lowest in more than 10 years in addition to the 2009 financial crisis.

Experts at the meeting pointed out that at present, our foreign trade is in a slump, and the export growth rate continues to fall. This is mainly due to the continued downturn in external demand and the high cost of domestic production and the decline of export competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary for the government and enterprises to work together to stabilize the growth of foreign trade.

Short order and short term multiple

According to the survey and monitoring data of 193 key enterprises in China, the export orders grew by 59.9% in July, and 4.5 percentage points lower than in June, a record low this year. And 64.2% of enterprises in 3 months, the proportion of short-term orders over 50%, of which 46.2% of the short-term orders of enterprises accounted for more than 75%.

City Commerce Bureau Foreign Trade Department said that the lack of enterprise orders, mainly due to the economic downturn in Europe and the United States, the market demand continued to be depressed, and the short-term phenomenon of orders is serious. First, because of frequent fluctuations in the exchange rate, short-term orders are convenient for enterprises to hedge exchange rate risks. Two, it is possible to reduce inventories, save procurement funds and reduce the pressure of capital turnover. But the high proportion of short-term orders is not a good thing, which will greatly reduce the profit margins of enterprises.

Competitiveness weakened orders transfer

Due to the continuous rise of labor costs, financial costs and environmental costs, enterprises' ability to undertake orders is weakened. Small and medium-sized export enterprises in our city account for more than 70% of all export enterprises. These small and medium-sized enterprises lack the right of pricing and discourse in the international market competition, especially those with low technology content and labor-intensive. Spin clothing In other industries, the competitiveness of export enterprises weakens most obviously.

The most direct impact of the weakening of the competitiveness of enterprises is the transfer of export orders. Monitoring data show that in July, 31% of the enterprises suffered the transfer of customer orders, of which 11.4% were transferred to Southeast Asia and other regions, accounting for 19.6% of the transfer to the central and western parts of the country and other regions.

What worries the enterprises most is that the trend of order shifting in the foreign trade market is increasingly obvious. It is understood that in recent months, the company has been expanding the customer orders transfer. Especially in July, the total number of transfer orders accounted for more than 10% of the total enterprise orders reached 26.6%.

　　 Trade Further enlargement of risk

The global economic downturn has not only led to a slowdown in market demand, but also escalated trade protectionism. For example, in May, after the United States imposed anti subsidy and anti-dumping duties on US solar cells, the enterprises in our city have stopped exporting solar cells to the United States, and the European Union has recently launched a "double reverse" investigation into my solar photovoltaic products.

In addition to the developed countries in Europe and America, the trade survey of developing countries in China has shown a significant upward trend in recent years. At the same time, the risk of foreign exchange collection is also increasing due to the continuous fermentation of European sovereign debt crisis and the frequent turbulence in emerging market countries. According to statistics, in the first 7 months of this year, the city reported only 36 cases of losses to Europe, and the amount involved was $9 million 860 thousand, a year-on-year increase.

Aiming at the present foreign trade Experts at the meeting pointed out that the government should increase policy support, such as structural tax reduction and cost reduction, while strengthening risk monitoring and early warning to guide enterprises to enhance risk prevention and control capabilities. Of course, enterprises should make full use of government support policies, enhance product competitiveness and diversify the market through product development, marketing innovation and market structure adjustment.
