CCTV news(News Network): In May, with the support of the orderly recovery of domestic production and supply and the continuous strengthening of foreign trade policies, my country’s foreign trade export enterprises actively sought to stabilize orders and expand markets, further consolidating the foundation for maintaining stability and improving foreign trade quality.
Data show that in May, my country’s foreign trade exports reached US$308.25 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.9%, 13 percentage points higher than the export growth rate of 3.9% in April. Exports of high-tech and high-value-added products continued to increase. In the first five months, the export value of my country’s mechanical and electrical products accounted for 57.2% of the total export value. Among them, automobile exports increased by 57.6% year-on-year.
Promoting product innovation and digital upgrading has become an important means for many export companies to stabilize orders. A garden appliance manufacturer in Ningbo, Zhejiang, this year, when orders for traditional export commodities decreased by one-third, 8 products innovatively developed by the company have become new growth points. In the first five months, the company’s exports increased by 57%, and new product exports accounted for halfway there. This technology company in Changzhou, Jiangsu, replaced the original old production lines with 16 intelligent production lines, and the production capacity and efficiency have been doubled. In the first five months, overseas shipments increased by nearly 3.3 times.
Enterprises actively seek to stabilize orders, and local governments are also providing precise services to help enterprises continue to expand the international market. Liaoning Tieling, a stationery company, has accurately received many new customers from RCEP member countries such as Thailand and Malaysia through the comprehensive inquiry service platform of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) launched locally.
Liu Kang, Deputy General Manager of Tieling Landscape Stationery Co., Ltd.: Before (exploiting the market), we collected through a large number of networks and collected from the RCEP platform. We alone can handle the workload of 3 to 4 people. At the same time, all customer information is very accurate.
With the further implementation of a series of economic stabilization policies and measures, there are still many supporting factors for the steady growth of my country’s foreign trade. The vitality of foreign trade market players continues to increase. In the first five months, the number of foreign trade enterprises with actual import and export performance in my country reached 482,000, an increase of 5% year-on-year; the import and export value of private enterprises accounted for 49% of my country’s total foreign trade value, an increase of 1.5 percentage points year-on-year ; The efficiency of cargo circulation in domestic ports has been continuously improved. The average time in port and berthing time of ships in container ports in my country are 1.98 days and 1.04 days respectively, which is significantly better than the average level of 3.3 days and 2.4 days in major foreign container ports.
