For a long time, our province

Relying too much on traditional low-cost advantages, though in recent years, "

In order to promote the pformation and upgrading strategy, some enterprises in our province have achieved better pformation and upgrading, and become the leading force of innovation driven development. However, a large number of private enterprises with small and medium sized enterprises as the main body are constrained by serious ideology of conservatism, lack of strong vision for reform, limited financing channels, and limited technological innovation, and products and markets are still located in the middle and low end. Under the background of excess capacity and relatively weak external demand market, bargaining power is not strong, and the impact of the gradual escalation of labor costs and the depreciation of major external market currencies is further weakening the international competitiveness of export commodities.

Exports dropped by 3.1%, and the province's exports increased by 0.8 percentage points.
