Ministry Of Commerce'S "13Th Five-Year Plan": Trade In Services Will Exceed $1 Trillion.

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce issued the outline of the thirteenth five year plan for business development (hereinafter referred to as the "planning"), put forward 14 specific development goals, and made clear the 9 main tasks and 26 major projects.

In the interpretation of the plan, the responsible person of the comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the environment at home and abroad had undergone profound changes, and the foundation and conditions for the development of commerce were more solid.

However, business development is also facing fierce competition and severe challenges. There are obstacles such as low circulation efficiency, high cost, difficult pformation and upgrading of foreign trade, and intensified competition in utilizing foreign capital.

At a regular news conference in July 5th, Shen Danyang, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, pointed out that the new highlights of the plan included the development of new concepts, the development of business objectives around the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the structural reform of the supply side in the business sector, and a number of major projects, projects and policies.

No quantitative indicators for trade in goods

14 specific indicators were proposed for the development of business in 13th Five-Year.

The paction volume reached 43 trillion and 800 billion yuan, the online retail sales amounted to 9 trillion and 600 billion yuan, and the number of imports and exports of the "one belt along the way" reached 27% and other indicators, all of which were newly established indicators in 13th Five-Year.

It is worth noting that the 14 indicators do not set specific quantitative targets for trade in goods, but only require export growth to be higher than world trade growth level and import scale expansion.

The head of the comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce believes that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the recovery of the world economy was hard and tortuous, the recovery of the developed economies was weak, the difficulties and risks of the emerging economies increased significantly, the demand for the international market continued to be weak, trade protectionism intensified, domestic factors remained high, traditional advantages weakened, structural adjustment was difficult to achieve overnight, and the uncertainties increased.

Therefore, there is no quantitative index for trade in goods.

From the completion of "12th Five-Year", the trade volume of goods in 2015 reached US $3 trillion and 958 billion 640 million, which was lower than the expected value of US $48000, and the average annual growth rate of the final 5.9% was also lower than the expected 10% growth rate.

In fact, the Ministry of Commerce has not set specific targets for foreign trade this year.

Zhang Yansheng, Secretary General of the academic committee of the development and Reform Commission, told reporters that China's foreign trade is in the process of pformation. This process may even take 5 to 10 years. Compared with the specific growth rate, pformation is the core and the key issue that needs attention.

In terms of key indicators, except for the total annual growth rate of retail sales of consumer goods, which is 10% lower than that of "13.9% in 12th Five-Year", the indicators such as service trade and foreign direct investment have increased considerably compared with the "12th Five-Year" period.

Among them, the target set for trade in services is more than US $1 trillion in 2020, with an average annual growth of around 10%, compared with 713 billion US dollars in 2015, and there is still nearly 290 billion dollars in space.

The target of $720 billion for outward foreign direct investment is 200 billion dollars more than that of the "12th Five-Year" period.

The responsible person said, "

During this period, the scale of traditional trade in services such as tourism and pportation will continue to expand. Modern trade in services such as financial insurance, information and computers, R & D and management consulting will develop rapidly, and trade in services is expected to continue to grow rapidly.

The index of external investment highlights the optimization of the industrial structure and market structure of foreign investment.

Zhao Ping, director of the International Trade Research Institute of the China Council for the promotion of international trade (CCPIT), told reporters that the adjustment of these indicators is more about putting the business "13th Five-Year plan" in the global and national perspective, not just an industry perspective.

For example, the volume of e-commerce pactions and online retail sales are included in the domestic trade circulation, which shows that e-commerce has been regarded as a very important part of domestic trade reform or domestic commercial development mode innovation, rather than a new format.

List 26 major projects

In addition to specific indicators, the plan puts forward 9 major tasks and major initiatives for business development during the "13th Five-Year" period, namely, the formation of a new business development mechanism; upgrading the level of circulation informatization, standardization and intensification; promoting the pformation and upgrading of consumption structure; implementing the strategy of better and better development; improving the layout of cross-border investment; and promoting "the promotion of"

The director of the comprehensive department pointed out that the major projects focus on promoting development and short board, which mainly support the current tasks of 6 aspects, such as institutional mechanism, modern circulation development, and strengthening consumption upgrading. The major policy pays more attention to making the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources and better play the role of the government, highlighting decentralization and decentralization, easing market access and other measures to stimulate the vitality of various market players and the endogenous driving force of the economy.

In addition, the plan focuses on promoting the supply side structural reform in the business field, and puts forward three new strategies and related tasks, namely, the upgrading of circulation, the optimization of foreign trade, and the integration of domestic and foreign markets.
