The Formation Of Favorable Factors For Foreign Trade Development

In the near future, imports may continue negative growth. As commodity prices stabilize, the decline in imports may shrink in the future.

In March, there was a sharp decline in imports and exports, especially in recent years. Huang Song Ping It is said that in recent years, China's foreign trade has encountered some difficulties besides the influence of the Spring Festival holiday. From the point of view of exports, the demand for international market is sluggish and export orders have decreased. From the main market, except for the relatively good economic performance of the United States, the recovery of other export market economies is still slow. Trade Growth momentum is still insufficient, demand has not improved significantly, orders have been reduced or weak growth has been maintained. This is the main reason for the recent export restraint in China.

In terms of imports, China's import price index fell 9.8% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, with a drop of 10.5% in March. The prices of major import commodities have dropped sharply, which will naturally affect our country. Imported This is the main factor in the recent decline in China's imports.

Huang Songping said that in the coming period, the situation facing China's foreign trade and import and export is generally grim and complicated. To achieve the target of 6% expected growth in foreign trade this year, we still need to make arduous efforts. But the development of new trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce, market purchasing trade and financial leasing, and the accelerated implementation of the free trade pilot area and the "one belt and one road" strategy have formed favorable factors to promote the development of China's foreign trade this year.

Lian Ping, chief economist of Bank of communications, said that in the coming period, the external demand will remain a recovery trend. China's exports to the United States, the European Union and ASEAN are expected to maintain a relatively high growth rate. The Sino Korean FTA will be concluded, and the negotiations on Australia's FTA will start, and the construction of "one belt and one road" will be accelerated. These will promote future export trade. However, because the traditional export industry is under the dual pressure of external competition and internal environmental constraints, higher export growth is hard to maintain. Therefore, export growth in the two quarter is likely to achieve steady growth.

Since last year, the state has promulgated a series of measures to support the steady growth of foreign trade. Referring to the stable foreign trade measures that will be taken by the General Administration of customs this year, Huang Songping said that the General Administration of Customs will continue to implement policies and measures to support the steady growth of foreign trade and further enhance the level of trade facilitation.

Huang Songping said that the customs will push forward the reform of customs clearance throughout the country, implement the "three mutual" and push forward the reform of the construction of large customs clearance. "Three mutual" is information exchange, mutual recognition of supervision and mutual aid of law enforcement. In addition, we should promote the single window of international trade and deepen the "three one" cooperation between customs and entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, that is, one declaration, one inspection and one release. We should innovate the customs supervision system in the pilot area of free trade, speed up the regional integration and optimization of customs special supervision, promote the paperless reform of customs clearance, and comprehensively promote the centralized collection of taxes.

Huang Songping revealed that the Customs General Administration will establish a customs supervision mechanism compatible with the strategy of "one belt along the way", coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and the Yangtze River economic belt, so as to support the construction of international logistics customs clearance, innovate customs international cooperation, and promote the development of new forms of foreign trade such as cross-border e-commerce. We should support the development of financial leasing and other producer services, and actively promote the strategy of the free trade area.
