1-11 Months Of This Year, Zhejiang'S Import And Export Trade Is Showing Signs Of Weakness.

Christmas atmosphere is becoming more and more intense. In the office building of Zhejiang Zhongjie import and Export Co., Ltd., as Christmas draws near, it is becoming more and more busy. Most employees are busy working overtime to quote and deliver goods.

As the general manager of Zhongjie company, Fang Bai Zhong is also non-stop. After coming back from European investigation, there are a lot of European and American businessmen who have contact with him. Apart from receiving customers who come here to visit, he has to go to factories repeatedly to prepare for the production of new products next year.

However, the bustle and bustle of Zhongjie company does not reflect the overall situation of foreign trade.

Affected by the high base number and weak foreign demand, Zhejiang, as the big foreign trade province of China, has a weak growth in foreign trade import and export in the 1-11 month of this year.

Yesterday, reporters from Hangzhou customs data showed that in the first 11 months of this year, Zhejiang achieved 1 trillion and 980 billion yuan worth of foreign trade and imports and exports, an increase of only 5% compared to the same period last year, and imports of 460 billion yuan, down 6.6% from the same period last year.

In November, Zhejiang exported 137 billion 170 million yuan, an increase of 2.8% over the same period, and imports of 36 billion 890 million yuan, down 21.1% from the same period last year.

Analysts said that the target of foreign trade in the whole year is hopeless, and the pressure on China's steady economic growth is not reduced. Policy easing is expected to continue.

Private enterprises contribute greatly to foreign trade export. General trade export is the highlight of Zhejiang's foreign trade.

Zhongjie company, which specializes in export of Christmas products, has an increase of 10%-15% this year compared with the same period last year.

Fang Bai Zhong said, "most of the Christmas products that merchants want for the first two years are products that can be reused and cost effective.

This year, their interest is mainly focused on new products and new functions, like an iron lighting product, plus silver and mini lamp accessories, which cater to European consumers' preferences. Although the price is 30% higher than other products, they are still very popular.

In addition, the average unit price of the ordered products has also increased significantly.

Among these factors, besides the rising purchasing power of European and American consumers, there is also the role of patents.

Up to now, Zhongjie has registered more than 400 utility model patents and design patents in Europe and America. "In this way, foreign purchases are more reassuring."

Fang Zhong told reporters.

In fact, there is another reason that is not known by Fang Bai. In the case of the weak growth of Zhejiang's overall foreign trade, the general trade export is still the highlight of Zhejiang's foreign trade.

Data from Hangzhou Customs show that in 1-11 months, Zhejiang's general trade exports amounted to 1 trillion and 210 billion yuan, up 10.3% from the same period last year, accounting for 79.7% of the total export value of the province.

In the same period, Zhejiang exported furniture, plastic products and lamps 55 billion 470 million yuan, 44 billion 250 million yuan and 32 billion 550 million yuan, an increase of 12.6%, 23.2% and 42.8% compared to the same period.

The main body is private enterprises.

The absolute main force of the province's export growth.

Before November, Zhejiang's private enterprises exported 1 trillion and 100 billion yuan, an increase of 13.8% over the same period last year, which is 4.7 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of the whole province, accounting for 69.8% of the total export value of the province, and the contribution rate to the export growth of the whole province is 101.9%.

"In the past period of time in Europe, we can see that the situation of the company will be better next year, and our products will be more advanced in terms of design and practicality. Some Christmas decorations with Chinese elements are also in line with the needs of the European and American markets."

Fang Zhong said that it is expected that a wave of orders will be introduced early next year, and the peak sales period will be ahead of schedule.

CICC recently released a report that the slowdown in export growth in November has some high base factors. In addition, the number of working days in November this year is less than that of last year. However, from the aspect of the ring ratio, the growth rate in November after the export season is down, reflecting the slowdown in export kinetic energy, and the slowdown in exports will further increase the pressure of steady policy growth.

Although Zhejiang's import and export growth has been slow this year, Hangzhou customs analysts believe that the global economy has provided a good opportunity for Chinese enterprises to merge.

"The current world economic situation is relatively low, which is a good opportunity for Chinese enterprises to provide M & A, and the appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar also provides favorable conditions for overseas expansion."

Hangzhou customs statistics expert Ge Yibo said that we should further encourage powerful enterprises to accelerate the pace of going out and integrate high-quality resources for our own use.

Ge Yibo also suggested that in the long run, we should adapt to the "new normal" of economic growth, give enterprises the greatest freedom as possible on the basis of ensuring fairness and impartiality, encourage and protect enterprise innovation, and enhance regional cohesion with an excellent business environment.

"In particular, we should tap the potential of" Yi Xin Europe "and create a new fulcrum of" one belt and one road "strategy.

Ge Yibo said, "Yixin Europe" class market has great potential, and its radiation effect should be spread from Yiwu to Zhejiang province and even along the provinces along the line. It not only can promote export growth, but also can bring the raw materials and import consumables that are urgently needed for development along the way through the return class.
