Beijing, December 18 (Reporter Feng Qiyu) **The General Office recently issued a notice on "Several Measures to Accelerate the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade", proposing 18 measures in 5 aspects to better play the important role of domestic and foreign trade integration in promoting economic development, expanding domestic demand, and stabilizing enterprises.
At the regular briefing on the first policy held on the 18th, Sheng Qiuping, Vice Minister of Commerce, said that in recent years, China has made positive progress in promoting the integration of domestic and foreign trade, and the scale and quality of domestic and foreign trade have been further improved. More and more enterprises realize that the integrated operation of domestic and foreign trade is an important means to make good use of the two markets and two resources, respond to market risks, and expand development space.
Accelerating the integration of domestic and foreign trade is an intrinsic requirement for building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development. In the first 11 months of this year, China's total retail sales of consumer goods were 428 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 72%；The import and export of goods was 38 trillion yuan, flat year-on-year, ranking the second largest consumer market in the world and the world's largest goods country. At the same time, the rules and systems of domestic and foreign trade are further connected, the conversion rate of international standards exceeds 80%, and the willingness of enterprises to integrate the development of domestic and foreign trade has been further enhanced, and in the first 10 months of this year, the number of domestic and foreign trade integrated enterprises in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 4 percent year-on-year7%。
In terms of smoothing the domestic circulation, the "Measures" propose to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, improve the credit system of domestic and foreign trade, simplify the import procedures of some commodities, improve the convenience of logistics, and strengthen the support of domestic and foreign trade talents, so that more high-quality goods and services can enter the domestic market more conveniently, enrich the quantity of supply, improve the quality of supply, and better meet the needs of the escalating domestic market.
In terms of promoting domestic and international dual circulation, the first is to better connect rules and standards. For example, in terms of standards, it will not only benchmark the international advanced level and improve the conversion rate of international standards, but also greatly improve the consistency of key technical indicators between national standards and international standards by 2025, and the conversion rate of international standards will reach more than 85%. At the same time, we will strengthen the compilation of foreign languages for standards in key areas, so that the world can learn more about Chinese standards and help enterprises reduce the cost of market switching. The second is the two-way docking of market channels. For example, the "Measures" not only support foreign trade enterprises to expand the domestic market, but also support domestic trade enterprises to expand the international market, but also emphasize the role of exhibitions, commodity trading markets, overseas economic and trade cooperation zones and other platforms, for enterprises willing to carry out the integration of domestic and foreign trade to pave the way, more quickly open the domestic and international markets, to achieve "two legs" walking. The third is the integrated development of enterprises and industries. The main body of domestic and international dual circulation is the enterprise, and the carrier is the industry. The "Measures" propose to cultivate domestic and foreign trade integrated business enterprises, cultivate a number of modern industrial clusters with integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, increase financial support, enhance the ability of enterprises to integrate and allocate global resources, enhance the level of industrial openness and international competitiveness, and better integrate into the domestic and international dual circulation.
