Foreign Trade "Low-Key" Into The "13Th Five-Year" Export Situation Is Still Weak.

Data released by the General Administration of Customs on 8 may show that in the first 2 months of this year, China's import and export value dropped by 12.6% over the same period last year, and the decline in exports in February increased further.

According to customs statistics, the import and export situation is still weak this year. In the first 2 months of this year, the total value of China's imports and exports was 3 trillion and 310 billion yuan, down 12.6% from the same period last year.

Among them, exports were 1 trillion and 960 billion yuan, down 13.1% compared to the same period, and imports of 1 trillion and 350 billion yuan, down 11.8% compared to the same period last year.

Looking at the February figures alone, exports fell by 20.6% over the same period last year. If the US dollar is calculated, the export growth rate in February is the lowest since May 2009. During the same period, imports fell by 8% over the same period. In the context of stable commodity prices, import data showed that domestic demand may be weaker than expected.

From the regional perspective, China's imports and exports of major trading partners declined year-on-year.

In the first 2 months of this year, the trade value of China and the EU decreased by 9.7% compared with the same period last year, and the trade volume between China and the United States dropped by 12.2% over the same period last year. The total trade volume between China and ASEAN dropped by 14.9% over the same period last year.

Experts believe that the prospects for the European and American markets, which are the main export markets in China, are not optimistic. China's foreign trade enterprises need to expand the related emerging markets such as "one belt and one road" and create a diversified export market for Chinese goods.

According to the report issued by China Merchants Securities, from the external environment, the PMI performance of Europe, the United States and Japan is not good. The violent turbulence in the global financial market is also not conducive to the expected stability of the economic entities. Therefore, the weakening of external demand in the first quarter makes it difficult for exports to improve.

From the closing date of the "twenty-sixth China East import and Export Fair" just concluded in Shanghai, it is also foreseeable that China's export prospects will continue to tighten this year.

According to the organizers' statistics, the current China Trade Fair attracted about 21 thousand and 500 overseas buyers, and the total number of merchants increased slightly by 1.2% compared with the previous session. The turnover has dropped by nearly 10%, indicating that the international market demand is still not showing signs of improvement.

On the 5 day, the State Council's premier Li Keqiang made a report on the government's work. When he talked about the development of foreign trade this year, he did not put forward specific figures. Instead, he replaced it with "import and export stabilization".

The consulting team of Ampang believes that

There is no specific figure for the development goals, which shows that the future development of foreign trade will be more about quality than quantity.

In fact, in addition to China's top 20 trading powers (regions), 18 countries (regions) do not issue annual trade growth forecasts and targets.

According to Bai Ming, deputy director of the international market research department of the Ministry of Commerce, China's foreign trade is developing in the new era.

A series of new changes have taken place in such aspects as competitive advantage and trade structure. The fundamental competitiveness of foreign trade enterprises lies in quality, brand, technology and service.

The government's work report put forward a solid push forward the "one belt along the way" construction, expand international production capacity cooperation, and promote the innovation and development of foreign trade and other contents, which will help improve the quality and efficiency of China's foreign trade and achieve a stable return.

Reporters interviewed found that faced with increasingly severe import and export situation, many enterprises are accelerating pformation and upgrading, from environmental protection and design, and so on, so as to enhance product "temperament".

The shell group from Xiamen is an environmentally-friendly tableware enterprise that uses natural rice husk plant fiber as raw material.

Yu Guiyang, manager of the southwest region of the company, told reporters: "the market demand for food safety and environmental protection products is increasing. We have patented technology and fit the market demand, hoping to open the global market as soon as possible."

In recent years, the electric vehicle industry has developed rapidly. Low carbon and environmental protection electric vehicles have entered people's daily life.

Zhang Yanyan, sales manager of Optima electric vehicle, told reporters: "we are currently in the Southeast Asian market, and we are in the foreshadowing stage two years ago. This year's sales will be more optimistic."

tradition

We can feel the urgency and importance of pformation.

Zhang Shengguo, sales manager of Jinjiang AI Lai Garments Co., Ltd., admitted to reporters that in the face of competition from Southeast Asian manufacturers, the competitive advantage of China's garment and textile industry lies in its quality and design.

We have no longer accepted the list of fast selling brands. We are now playing the high-end brand in Europe and America, and have set up our own designer team to study the trend of the year.

The quality of products is guaranteed, with their own designs, and the market share is stable.
