Exit The amount has reached a new high of 12 months, the lowest level in the past 6 months, and Wenzhou's foreign trade has gradually declined and warmer.

Since the beginning of this year, the export situation of the whole country is generally grim.

It is noteworthy that, in a series of policies and measures to stabilize export growth and some market demand warming, in August, our city realized export of 10 billion 810 million yuan, though it was still declining compared with the same period last year, while the export volume hit a new high of 12 months, and maintained a monthly increase in the total value of exports since March this year. Customs analysis believes that there are two main reasons: first, most of the major export commodities in our city have declined since the beginning of the year, but in August, the export of electromechanical products, glasses, circuit breaker protection devices and automobile and motorcycle fittings increased year by year, among which electromechanical products and circuit breaker protection devices appeared to have picked up since March, the first year-on-year increase since last year; two, Wenzhou's exports to the United States continued to grow.

According to statistics, from 1 to August, our city exported 10 billion 453 million yuan to the United States, an increase of 9.43% over the same period last year, and the proportion of exports to the United States accounted for 15.02% of the total value of foreign trade.

The export of spectacles was 1 billion 307 million yuan, up 7.9% over the same period last year; two items accounted for 46.7% of the total value of our city's exports to the United States.

In this regard, the Wenzhou customs held that Wenzhou's export to the US maintained its growth. On the one hand, the Renminbi remained relatively stable against the US dollar in the first half of last year, while it appreciated to other currencies in varying degrees. Therefore, for the export orders of the US market, the enterprises could maintain relatively stable profits without being affected by the exchange rate market. On the other hand, they were related to the obvious trend of the US economic recovery, and their demand for daily consumer goods gradually increased. At the same time, shoes, glasses, clothing and other "made in Wenzhou" product quality and production technology have certain advantages in international competition, coupled with the active adoption of enterprises. Cross-border E-commerce It is also a positive factor to widen the market channel and improve the added value of products.

As exports rebounded, in August, the import of our city was quite "autumn". According to statistics, in the month of August, the city imported 1 billion 98 million yuan, down 8.63% from the same period last year. According to customs, this is because iron alloy, raw horse skin and log are the three main import commodities that account for more than 5 of the total import value of our city. Besides the ferroalloy continues to increase significantly, the import growth of the latter two was narrowed in August.
