Yunnan's Foreign Trade Grew Strongly In February.

In January, the number of foreign trade in Yunnan fell by 8.2% over the same period last month, but it remained a fast growth trend at the end of exports. In February, the total export volume of the province increased by 1.7 times compared with the previous month, which was 42.3% higher than that of the previous month. Under this strong boost, Yunnan's foreign trade momentum reversed, and Yunnan's import and export volume increased by 20.9% over the same period 1~2. From the trade surplus of 1~2 months, it has increased 11.5 times compared with the same period last year. The industry analysts pointed out that the expansion of imports is still the main focus of Yunnan's foreign trade next step.

In January, the volume of foreign trade and import and export volume in Yunnan had dropped by 8.2% compared with the same period last year, but in February it was strong enough to rebound, and the momentum of the whole foreign trade reversed. In February, the province exported 12 billion 960 million yuan, an increase of 1.7 times compared with the same period last year, an increase of 42.3% over the previous month, and an import of 2 billion 900 million yuan, down 44.6% from the same period last year, and the growth rate was 12.4%. Kunming customs related staff pointed out: "with the increase of exports, the volume of trade in the single month is 15 billion 860 million yuan, down 8.2% from last month to 57.7%, so as to achieve the overall rebound in import and export."

According to the Ministry of Commerce's special correspondent in Kunming, there are two main reasons for the decline of foreign trade in Yunnan in January: first, the import downturn has become a major factor affecting foreign trade. Affected by the downward pressure on the economy and the continued weakening of import demand, Yunnan's foreign trade imports continued the sluggish trend since the 4 quarter of January, and imports continued to fall. The total import and export volume of electromechanical products, metal ores, agricultural products (000061 shares) and timber imports decreased by 2 billion 720 million yuan compared with the same period.

Two, the trade between Burma and Laos in ASEAN market has dropped sharply. In January, Yunnan's import and export volume dropped by 37.7% to Burma, and the import and export of Laos by 83.3%. Among them, the export of Burmese mobile phones has been sharply reduced, which is affected by Burma's restrictions on the export of logs, and its imports of Burmese logs have fallen sharply. In the same period, the cessation of bonded logistics trade dominated by metal mold and integrated circuits was the main reason for the decline of trade in Laos.

With Burma, Laos Trade fell sharply, which also led to a 20.3% decline in import and export trade with ASEAN. After February, the mechanical and electrical products of the province, agricultural products, textiles and clothing, furniture exports, lamps and lanterns and other commodities have been increasing rapidly at the export end, which will also reverse the trend of the changes in the import and export volume of the ASEAN countries.

In 1~2 months, the province's imports and exports to ASEAN reached 13 billion 240 million yuan, an increase of 24.2%, accounting for 48% of the total foreign trade volume of the province. Among them, the trade volume with Burma, Malaysia and Singapore was 4 billion 370 million, 2 billion 190 million and 1 billion 590 million yuan respectively, and it was the top three trading partner of the province and ASEAN.

In addition, the special commissioner of the Ministry of Commerce in Kunming also pointed out a number of growth points for Yunnan's merchandise exports in January, pointing out: "the export of ceramic products with relatively low export volume in the past, and the labor-intensive commodities such as furniture, lamps and lanterns, footwear, bags and so on, have seen a relatively rapid growth. To a certain extent, it has alleviated the adverse effects of the slowdown in the export of major commodities such as mechanical and electrical products and agricultural products, and even slowed down. It has effectively stimulated foreign trade exports, and the growth of the EU and the United States has been obvious". "In January,"

At the end of the commodity export side ushered in a number of growth points, there was a continuous downward trend in the import side. Import volume fell 52.8% in January, down 44.6% in February. From 2014, imports increased by 11.2% year-on-year. From January to 2014, the volume of foreign trade almost all showed a year-on-year growth trend, but the year-on-year downward trend occurred at the end of the year, compared with 53.1% in 2014 December.

This also directly led to a further widening of Yunnan's foreign trade surplus, and Yunnan's trade surplus reached 16 billion 600 million yuan in 1~2 months, compared with the same period last year. surplus For trade 1 billion 440 million yuan, 1~2 month is 11.5 times the same period last year.

From the 1~2 import volume of 5 billion 480 million yuan in Yunnan, China imported 382 thousand tons of natural gas and 1 billion 390 million yuan from China Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, but there was no import of the goods in the same period last year. If not this year, Yunnan's trade surplus will increase by 12.5 times compared with the same period last year.

Industry analysts pointed out that boost Exit The reasons for rapid growth are mainly reflected in three levels: first, the impact of seasonal factors and Spring Festival holidays in January, the export of enterprises in January was concentrated in the first half of 2 this year, which was affected by this factor. Last February, the number base was low, pushing up the growth rate of February this year. Two, the main demand for developed countries was external demand, Yunnan's growth in imports and exports to the European Union was 89.1%, the import and export growth of the United States was 1.3 times; third was the policy factor, January 1st textile and clothing export tax rebate rate increased, 1~2 textile and clothing exports 2 billion 340 million yuan, an increase of 1.5 times in 1~2 months.

As a result, this has led to a further expansion of Yunnan's foreign trade surplus. From the national situation, the total import and export volume in China this year is 3 trillion and 790 billion yuan, and the trade balance is about 730000000000, which is 11.6 times higher than that of the same period last year. In response to the continued negative growth of imports, Shen Danyang, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce of China, said that the Chinese government did not deliberately pursue the trade surplus. Expanding imports will remain one of the main focuses of China's foreign trade policy this year.

Shen Danyang analysis said: "although the scale of China's imports has been expanding, it has ranked the second in the world for five consecutive years, but because our export growth is faster, our trade surplus is still very large. Therefore, expanding imports will continue to be one of the main focuses of China's foreign trade policy this year. In October last year, the general office of the State Council issued some opinions on strengthening imports. It proposed that we should accelerate the implementation of the positive import promotion strategy, encourage the expansion of import of advanced technology and equipment and key parts, stabilize the import of domestic resources, increase the import of general consumers reasonably, meet the domestic production and living needs, and promote the transformation and upgrading of domestic economy and structural adjustment. These are the main directions and measures for expanding import and maintaining trade balance this year. We should further intensify our efforts this year to implement them.
