People’s Daily Online, Beijing, May 6 (Reporter Qiao Xuefeng) Recently, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing released the China Logistics Industry Prosperity Index for April 2022, with a data of 43.8%, down 4.9 percentage points from March.
The new orders index fell. In April, due to the impact of the epidemic and international geopolitical conflicts, domestic and foreign consumer demand was suppressed. The new orders index was 44.4%, down 5 percentage points from the previous month.
The employment index fell. In April, affected by the epidemic prevention and control policies in many places, the employee index was 45.5%, down 3 percentage points from the previous month, and it was in the contraction range, reflecting that there is a gap in the employment of logistics enterprises, and it is still necessary to maintain high attention.
The average inventory index and inventory turnover index both fell. In April, due to the slowdown in demand on the production and consumer ends, and the incoordination of local epidemic policies, the logistics was not smooth. The average inventory index and inventory turnover index hovered at 45%, down regarding 3-6 percentage points from the previous month.
“Affected by this round of epidemics with many points, wide areas and frequent occurrences, the logistics industry prosperity index has been below 50% for two consecutive months, and the index contraction in April has further increased.” He Hui, assistant to the president of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing In an interview, he said that in terms of sub-indexes, the total business index, new order index, average inventory index, inventory turnover index, capital turnover rate index, employee index and other indicators have declined to varying degrees; In terms of scale, small and micro logistics enterprises continued to weaken, and the impact of the epidemic on large and medium-sized logistics enterprises also appeared.
He Hui further pointed out that the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still relatively complicated, and logistics companies are expected to have a decline in demand, tight capital and personnel pressure, and further attention should be paid. “With the continuous advancement of epidemic prevention and control measures and the implementation of the policy of ensuring the smooth flow of freight and logistics, the short-term impact will gradually weaken. my country’s industrial chain and supply chain are resilient and the market is broad, and there will be a strong momentum for stabilization in the later stage.”
Hu Yan, a researcher at the China Logistics Information Center, said that from the logistics boom data in April, it can be seen that the current round of epidemics has occurred in multiple areas and frequently in a short period of time, exceeding expectations. Under the background of the existing triple pressure, logistics demand has decreased, circulation is blocked, and profits are made. Problems such as shrinkage may evolve to a long-term trend, and it is still necessary to attach great importance to the protection of the unimpeded logistics supply chain to the economy.
Hu Yan pointed out that it is necessary to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, as well as coordinating epidemic prevention and control and ensuring the smooth flow of freight and logistics. To develop and maintain social stability; to go all out to implement precise policies, to overcome difficulties and blockages, to ensure the stability and smoothness of the industrial chain and supply chain, and to maintain the good momentum of resumption of work and production and economic recovery.
