The Grim Situation Of Foreign Trade Can See The Dawn Of Hope.

This year, the grim complexities of the foreign trade situation are unprecedented. External demand is weak, domestic demand is weakening, fixed asset investment slows down, factor costs continue to rise rapidly, financing and other unfavorable factors are intertwined, and this kind of difficulty is not short-term.

"Generally speaking, the fundamentals of China's foreign trade development trend have not changed. The development of foreign trade is good and healthy."

Said Lu Xun.

From the international comparison, China's import and export growth rate has declined, but its export growth rate is still better than that of the world's major economies and emerging market countries. The share of the international market has steadily increased, from 12.4% at the end of 2014 to about 13%, and will remain the world's largest commodity trading country.

In 2015, China's exports were significantly better than those of the world's major economies. In the first 10 months, China's exports declined by 2.5%, while the US exports decreased by 6.5% during the same period, while the European Union decreased by 13.2%, while Japan's exports dropped by 9.5%.

"In the complex and grim situation, China's foreign trade development is still showing some positive changes and highlights."

Huang Songping said that China's trade mode is more reasonable, private enterprises' foreign trade shows vitality, China's export commodity structure is further optimized, and the diversification of trade partners has made positive progress, and China's emerging markets such as ASEAN and India.

Relatively good performance.

"In 2016,

The situation of low growth and low external demand will not be significantly improved. China's foreign trade development is still facing many difficulties. "

Huang Songping said.

In December 2015, China's foreign trade export index was 31.2, down 0.8 from November, indicating that China's export pressure is still relatively large in the first quarter of this year.

Since 2015, the State Council has issued 7 policy documents supporting foreign trade topics, including steady growth, structural adjustment, cross-border electricity providers, import and export charges, and so on.

Minister of Commerce

At the national business meeting, we said that in 2016, we should do everything possible to stabilize foreign trade growth and strive to achieve better results.

To this end, the Ministry of Commerce will pay close attention to the implementation of policies, such as reducing the cost of foreign trade enterprises, expanding financing channels, enhancing trade facilitation, finding new supporting points and growth points of foreign trade, selecting more than 70 industries, focusing on key industries and enterprises, continuing to stabilize exports of traditional dominant products, supporting products with independent intellectual property rights and independent brands, accelerating the export of complete equipment, implementing a positive import policy, and actively coping with trade frictions.

At the National Conference on business affairs, the Ministry of commerce did not put forward specific quantitative indicators for the growth of foreign trade in 2016, but made it clear that the growth rate of foreign trade was higher than the average growth rate of Global trade.

Customs data show that in 2015, China's general trade import and export value was 13 trillion and 290 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.5%, accounting for 54% of the total import and export value, representing a 0.3 percentage point increase over the previous year, of which exports grew by 2.2%.

In the same year, China exported 8 trillion and 150 billion yuan of electromechanical products, an increase of 1.2%, accounting for 57.7% of the total export value, 1.7 percentage points higher than the previous year.

In addition, the import volume of some bulk commodities has increased and trade terms have been further improved.

According to the calculation, China's trade price index in 2015 was 112.1, indicating that a certain number of goods exported to China could be exchanged for 12.1% of imports. This means that China's trade price conditions have improved significantly and foreign trade benefits have been improved.
