Ministry Of Commerce: Textile And Clothing Trade Has Been Greatly Impacted, And Import And Export Have Improved In March.

On April 9th, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce spokesman said that the General Administration of Customs will release the import and export data for the first quarter in the near future. According to the situation reflected by various local and industrial sectors, the import and export in March has improved.

However, the summit acknowledged that the impact of the global spread of the epidemic on the world economy and international trade is gradually emerging. According to the Ministry of Commerce's investigation of key areas, key industries and key enterprises, some foreign trade enterprises have been affected by the delay or cancellation of hand orders, especially in textile, clothing and other consumer industries.

Due to the sharp drop in external demand, many foreign trade enterprises have problems of cancellation of orders, and the market is highly concerned about this. According to customs statistics, in the first 2 months of this year, the total value of imports and exports of China's goods trade was 4 trillion and 120 billion yuan, down 9.6% from the same period last year. Among them, exports were 2 trillion and 40 billion yuan, down 15.9%; imports 2 trillion and 80 billion yuan, down 2.4%.

It is worth noting that the peak said that at present, the resumption of production and trade of foreign trade enterprises is in an orderly manner, and more than 76% of the key foreign trade enterprises in the country have a capacity recovery rate of over 70%. In March, the new PMI export index and import index of manufacturing industry rose by 17.7 and 16.5 percentage points respectively compared with February.

"We will closely follow the assessment of the extent of the impact of foreign trade. In the early stage, we have promulgated a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, and we will carry out the next step. We will try our best to relieve the difficulties of foreign trade enterprises, and strive to minimize the impact of the epidemic on foreign trade, and stabilize the basic foreign trade market. Gao Feng said.
