Various departments conduct a three-dimensional survey on the survival status of Guangdong's foreign trade enterprises

At present, in view of the severe situation of export-oriented enterprises in Guangdong Province, relevant departments are stepping up research through various ways to find out the situation.
The Hong Kong Federation of Industry is expected to convene more than ten industry representatives to hold a symposium on 10 this month, at which time Wang Hui, Vice Minister of the Economic Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will attend the symposium, mainly to understand the business situation of these Hong Kong enterprises that have invested and set up factories in the mainland this year, and whether they are affected by some macroeconomic policy adjustments, And what support from the government is needed.
According to an insider, the Policy Research Office of the State Council has been conducting research in Dongguan, Guangdong and other places since March this year, mainly to understand the living conditions of shoemaking and other industries. At present, the research has been basically completed, and it is estimated that the relevant information will be fed back to the decision-making level.
According to the statistics of Guangzhou Customs, from January to May this year, there were 2428 footwear export enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region, a sharp drop of 2331 compared with the same period last year. Nearly half of the footwear export enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region have no export performance this year. At the same time, many garment, toy and other export enterprises in the Pearl River Delta have closed down.
Lin Cailang, the business director of Anlang Fairy Tale World (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., who participated in the above forum on behalf of the footwear industry, said in an interview with the First Business Daily that most Hong Kong enterprises are mainly engaged in processing trade in the Pearl River Delta, RMB appreciation, export tax rebate, policy adjustment of processing trade, rapid rise in production costs, etc, The impact on enterprises in the Pearl River Delta is very great, and the enterprise is also facing operational pressure.
Lin Cailang also said that the company had more than 10 factories in the Pearl River Delta and other places at the peak, but now only one factory with more than 700 people in Guangdong is reserved to produce children's shoes with high added value. In recent years, other factories have been gradually transferred or closed, and export orders are basically outsourced to cooperative factories, The focus of business has shifted from production to the creation of independent brands and expansion of distribution channels in the mainland, and transformation and upgrading are being promoted as planned.
"Unlike our proactive adjustment, many of the surrounding shoe enterprises that simply process and export goods have been forced to close their businesses this year because they can't bear the appreciation of the RMB and the rapid rise of production costs. At this meeting, we will suggest that the relevant departments give certain incentives and preferential policies to the high value-added and self innovation shoe enterprises to help them accelerate their transformation and upgrading." Lin Cailang said.
Lin Cailang believes that the government attaches great importance to the opinions of enterprises and believes that the relevant departments will introduce some policies in response to the current difficulties faced by enterprises. For example, in July last year, the Hong Kong Federation of Industry convened 150 Hong Kong enterprises to solicit opinions on the list of restrictions on processing trade issued by the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs, and then reported the situation to the Ministry of Commerce and other departments. Later, the Ministry of Commerce relaxed the requirements for the actual transfer of standing book deposits according to the enterprises' reports, easing the pressure on enterprises' funds. ?
In an interview with this newspaper, a government official in Guangdong Province said that the Ministry of Commerce had visited Guangdong several times since last year. The official said that Guangdong's processing trade has been constantly transforming and upgrading. Previously, traditional export products such as textiles and clothing, shoes and toys accounted for more than 80% of Guangdong's exports. Now the situation has changed. Electromechanical and high-tech products accounted for more than 80%, while non electromechanical products accounted for less than 20%. At present, the export of electromechanical and high-tech products is in good condition, while the export pressure of labor-intensive light industrial products such as textiles, clothing, shoes and toys is obviously greater.
In the process of participating in the investigation of the Ministry of Commerce, some enterprises have suggested that there are also some enterprises in the traditional export industry that have done well in innovative R&D design, environmental protection, corporate social responsibility and other aspects. Whether they can introduce some corresponding supporting policies to further enhance the competitiveness of high-quality enterprises while making macro adjustments to export tax rebate, processing trade and other policies.
