Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Foreign trade continues to be stable and improving, and the annual target can be expected to be achieved.
Xinhua News Agency reporters Wei Hongyi and Lin Guangyao.
At the end of the year, China's foreign trade withstood the pressure and continued to stabilize. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs on December 7, following the monthly and cumulative growth rates of China's foreign trade in October, the year-on-year growth rate of imports and exports in November further expanded to 12%, and the cumulative growth rate was basically the same as the same period last year.
In this regard, Lv Daliang, director of the Department of Statistics and Analysis of the General Administration of Customs, said that in the fourth quarter, the positive factors for the development of China's foreign trade have been increasing, and the total import and export value has increased year-on-year for two consecutive months, and the development trend of stability and improvement has continued to consolidate.
Industry experts believe that under multiple pressures such as the slowdown in overseas demand, it is not easy for the monthly growth rate of foreign trade to achieve from "four consecutive declines" to "two consecutive rises". This is the result of the joint action of many factors such as the main body, economic and trade partners, and innovation momentum.
First of all, from the perspective of the main body, since the beginning of this year, the import and export of private enterprises, as the main force of China's foreign trade, has continued to be active, and the year-on-year growth rate is better than the whole: the import and export in the first 11 months were 2024 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 61%, accounting for 533%, an increase of 31 percentage point, which strongly supports the stable scale and optimal structure of China's foreign trade.
Secondly, from the perspective of economic and trade partners, while the import and export of emerging markets continues to maintain a good development trend, China's import and export of some traditional markets has also seen positive changes.
In November, China's imports and exports to the top three major partners ASEAN, the European Union and the United States were 5,843900 million yuan, 4416600 million yuan and 414.9 billion yuan, accounting for 38 percent of China's total import and export value9%。Among them, the goods of China and the United States increased by 2 year-on-year7%, ending 6 consecutive months of year-on-year decline;During the same period, imports and exports to Latin America, Africa and Central Asia increased by % respectively, indicating that China continued to expand its scale with emerging markets, and the international market layout with close regional cooperation and diversified development continued to be optimized.
In addition, the steady improvement of foreign trade is inseparable from the continuous enhancement of innovation momentum. The reporter recently saw in the Kashgar Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Xinjiang that thanks to the continuous optimization of supervision services by Kashgar Customs, a car full of new energy vehicles is queuing up for customs clearance in an orderly manner, showing a hot and busy scene.
According to statistics, in the first 11 months, China's exports of automobiles and their spare parts, ships and other exports grew rapidly, and the growth rates were5%。The rapid growth of the export scale of emerging industries such as electric manned vehicles, solar cells, and lithium batteries has become a vivid portrayal of the accelerated upgrading of foreign trade.
Lv Daliang said that the recent export performance of some commodities such as automobiles and mobile phones is outstanding, which not only reflects the recovery of external demand in related industries, but also fully reflects the comprehensive competitive advantage of China's manufacturing industry.
However, industry insiders also pointed out that at present, the unstable momentum of world economic recovery is still the biggest challenge facing China's foreign trade, economic factors and non-economic factors are intertwined, and China's foreign trade is still facing a lot of pressure.
In response to this situation, the policy is continuing to strengthen. The reporter was informed that the Ministry of Commerce gave full play to the promotion role of the exhibition platform and increased support for enterprises to participate in domestic and foreign exhibitionsIt will also promote the increase of import and export credit support, promote the precise docking of banks and enterprises, increase support for small, medium and micro foreign trade enterprises, and expand the scale and coverage of export credit insurance underwriting, so as to escort enterprises to open up the marketThe General Administration of Customs recently issued an implementation plan for promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of processing, launched 16 reform measures, innovated the supervision mode of customs processing, and continued to consolidate and enhance the advantages of internal and external communication ...... processing
Enterprises are also constantly opening up new space for development. In the production and processing workshop of Ningbo Junling Mould Technology, several workers can operate the computer to realize the control of each link. On the large electronic screen of the enterprise, the data of production planning and material management are refreshed in real timeFront-line workers can provide real-time feedback on the process situation and carry out cross-departmental hierarchical linkage.
The production process of mold enterprises is very complicated, and if you only rely on manpower, it will cause a waste of resources. Yao Xianjun, general manager of the company, said that after the digital transformation, the overall efficiency of the enterprise has increased by more than 30%, which has effectively guaranteed the domestic and foreign trade products.
The fourth quarter is usually the peak season for foreign trade, and it is also the sprint and closing season for foreign trade throughout the year. Looking forward to the future, Lv Daliang said that overall, the policy force, the efforts of enterprises, and the joint efforts of all parties, the momentum of export stabilization and improvement in the fourth quarter is expected to continue to consolidate. According to the China Customs' Macroeconomic Survey, the proportion of enterprises reflecting the increase in export and import orders has increased, and the foundation for achieving the goal of promoting stability and improving the quality of foreign trade throughout the year is more solid.
