Export growth declines in June

Data from customs showed that the first half of Ningbo Zhoushan port's Pukou docks reached 665 thousand TEUs, an increase of 4.9% over the same period.

As we all know, the difficulty of Zhejiang's exports this year is rare. Here, there is a common "difficulty" - the world economic growth is weak and weak, the US trade protectionism makes the export enterprises to the United States difficult situation, but also has the personality "difficult" - Zhejiang private export enterprises are generally not very strong, and the ability to resist risks is limited. Some enterprises are highly dependent on the single market.

These "difficulties" have been fully reflected in the newly released June Zhejiang foreign trade data. In June, Zhejiang's exports decreased by 1.1% compared with the same period last year, which was affected by the decline in export growth in June. Zhejiang's export growth slowed to 6.6% in the first half of this year, down 2 percentage points from the first quarter. Among them, exports to the US decreased by 8.2% compared with the same period last year, and the export growth rate of the whole province was reduced by 1.4 percentage points.

Of course, in June, the "bad news" of export in June failed to stop the light of the first half of the year. The growth rate of imports and exports, exports and imports all led the main coastal provinces in the eastern coastal areas. The export of semi annual exports exceeded 1 trillion yuan for the first time and accounted for a further increase in the proportion of the total exports of the country.

Exports grew faster in July.

The good performance of Zhejiang's exports in July benefited from rapid growth in exports to major markets. In July, the province's exports to the European Union, ASEAN and Africa increased by 27.9%, 47.8% and 37.2%, respectively, and the total volume of exports to the countries along the belt and road was 80 billion 560 million yuan, an increase of 37.3% over the same period last year.

Stable market share and stable share show the resilience of Zhejiang's exports: in July, Zhejiang's exports to the United States amounted to 41 billion 130 million yuan, up 16.4% over the same period last year.

There are multiple reasons behind the growth, and one of the important reasons is that Zhejiang enterprises are using more competitive products to release potential market demand. In July, the export volume of Zhejiang's high-tech products increased by 14 billion 910 million yuan, an increase of 29.7% over the same period last year, of which the export volume of solar cells was 2 billion 850 million yuan, a sharp increase of 60.2% over the same period last year. In addition, the export of mechanical and electrical products in the Province amounted to 101 billion 460 million yuan, an increase of 31% over the previous year, accounting for 43.4% of the total exports of the province. Among them, electrical and electronic products and machinery and equipment exported 28 billion 610 million yuan and 28 billion 370 million yuan respectively, representing an increase of 28.1% and 27.7% respectively over the same period.

Expand the market, look for orders, protect share... In Zhejiang's stable foreign trade report card, private enterprises take the initiative. In July, the export volume of private enterprises in our province was 188 billion 840 million yuan, an increase of 31.4% over the same period last year. "Order + list" monitoring and early warning system shows that in July, ten thousand on-line enterprises in hand orders boom index rose significantly, the growth rate was two to three percentage points.

Despite the good export situation in July, the downward pressure on exports is still very large in the second half of the year. Zhang Shuming, director of the office of UNCTAD of the Provincial Department of Commerce, said that the overall situation of the weak international market has not changed, and the uncertainties such as trade frictions that affect the steady growth of foreign trade remain. He pointed out that due to the implementation of the new round of tax increase list in the US, there were many factors such as "grab the bill" in the July export growth. The relevant departments of foreign trade at all levels must remain vigilant, accelerate the landing of all stable foreign trade policies, and help enterprises enhance their confidence and face more severe challenges.

Pilot of cross-border electricity supplier Industrial Cluster

The provincial chamber of Commerce examined and approved the 34 industrial clusters of 26 counties (cities and districts) in Yuhang District, including the second batch of industrial cluster cross-border electricity supplier development pilot.

"Industrial cluster + cross-border electricity supplier" is a typical way to integrate the advantages of Zhejiang's cross border e-commerce and the advantages of massive industrial clusters along the path of "88 strategies". The Provincial Department of Commerce planned and started early. In 2016, it issued the guiding opinions of Zhejiang Province on vigorously promoting the development of cross-border electricity suppliers in industrial clusters, and implemented the first batch of pilot work. After more than 3 years' efforts, the first batch of 25 pilot projects has gone out of the way to develop a cross border e-commerce with local characteristics, and has cultivated a large number of leading enterprises and independent brands. In 2018, 19 pilot projects were evaluated by A or B.
