The Pressure Of Foreign Trade Growth Is Heavy, And Processing Trade Is Hard.

< p > Huo Jianguo, director of the Ministry of Commerce Research Institute, said that the first quarter foreign trade data showed that the pressure on foreign trade growth this year is relatively large. It is not entirely a cardinal number but a structural problem, which shows the problem of China's export competitiveness.

< p > according to customs statistics, in the first quarter of this year, China's import and export value decreased by 3.7% compared with the same period last year, while exports dropped by 6.1% and imports dropped by 1.2%.

< p > "this year's pressure is relatively large. Last year, false trade led to a relatively high base. Excluding Hongkong and Taiwan, the growth was less than 4%, but it was still weak compared with previous years, indicating that structural change is not entirely a cardinal problem."

Huo Jianguo explained today to the great wisdom news agency during the 2014 press conference on consumer market development.

< p > he pointed out that, from < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > external environment < /a >, the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia are recovering, but the export can not go away, it can only explain the problem of export competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.

< /p >

< p > < < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > processing trade < /a > is declining and Eastern trade is decreasing. This has become a hard nut to crack and can not be adjusted.

Huo Jianguo pointed out that Chinese enterprises did not focus on market development, but were busy coping with all kinds of risks. For example, exchange rate fluctuations made enterprises have no fixed number, and export orders were afraid to sign.

More importantly, because of the rising cost, the profit of manufacturing industry has declined sharply, and the manufacturing industry has been heading towards Southeast Asia. Its speed is faster than that of the industry pferring to the central and western industries. P

In this regard, Huo Jianguo believes that although the State encourages the Midwest to undertake industrial pfer, it has not received good results because of inadequate domestic supporting policies.

< p > Huo Jianguo believes that the stable foreign trade policy launched by the "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "Ministry of Commerce" /a may focus on cultivating new competitive advantages, opening up the market and enhancing the added value of products.

For example, the export tax rebate for e-commerce is very high. Huo Jianguo, for example, said that the service outsourcing business is mainly achieved through e-commerce. The statistics of cross-border settlement and how to approve export tax rebates are still under study.
