The structure of scale growth has been optimized
Yang Changyong, a researcher at the Institute of Foreign Economic Research of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, told the International Business Daily reporter that the import and export data of the first three quarters show that China's foreign trade has maintained a rapid growth rate in scale, which is an important driving force for the steady growth of China's economy。At the same time, whether it is the structure of the international market, the structure of import and export commodities, the structure of trade modes, the structure of trade subjects, etc., have shown a trend of continuous optimization。
In terms of trading partners, ASEAN continues to maintain the status of China's largest trading partner, while China has closer economic and trade exchanges with countries along the "Belt and Road", with a total import and export of 10.04 trillion yuan, an increase of 20 percent.7%。From the perspective of trade mode, China's general trade import and export in the first three quarters 19.92 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.7%, accounting for 64% of China's total foreign trade, an increase of 2% over the same period last year.One percentage point。From the main body of foreign trade, private enterprises import and export 15.62 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.5%, accounting for 50% of China's total foreign trade.2%, an increase of 2 percentage points over the same period last year, and continue to play the role of foreign trade "main force"。
"The performance of foreign trade in the first three quarters is a phased performance of a long-term trend。Yang Changyong further analysis，There are deep-seated reasons behind the good performance of foreign trade data: First，China's manufacturing industry has a complete system and complete supporting facilities，It has strong competitiveness，Especially in the context of the fluctuating global epidemic situation，The advantages of China's manufacturing industry are particularly prominent，It has played a solid supporting role in the growth of foreign trade。Second, China is committed to promoting high-quality development of foreign trade and has adopted effective policies and measures to improve the structure of foreign trade while maintaining steady growth。For example, we encourage and support the export of mechanical and electrical products and high-tech products, promote unimpeded trade with countries under the Belt and Road Initiative, and enhance trade liberalization and facilitation with them, providing an important driving force for continuously optimizing the structure of export commodities and international markets。"In the first three quarters of this year, the growth of automobile exports is a big bright spot, of which a considerable proportion is new energy vehicles, which is also an important direction of China's industrial adjustment.。”
Data show that in the first three quarters of China's export of mechanical and electrical products 10.04 trillion yuan, an increase of 10%, accounting for 56% of the total export value.8%, of which, export cars 2598.400 million yuan, an increase of 67.1%。According to the data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first three quarters, China's automobile enterprises exported 211.70,000, more than the whole of last year。Among them, the export of new energy vehicles 38.90,000 units, more than double the year-on-year increase。
"China's outstanding achievements in the first three quarters of foreign trade both exceeded expectations and were expected。Although protectionism and unilateralism are on the rise, and some countries are trying to "decoupage and break the chain", China's foreign trade can achieve bucking the trend of growth, which fully demonstrates that win-win cooperation is the trend of The Times. It also shows that China's strategic orientation of promoting the sound development of economic globalization is correct。"Yang Changyong said。
Consolidate the foundation and continue to exert force
At present, the external environment is becoming increasingly complex, the growth rate of the world economy and global trade has slowed down, and the development of China's foreign trade still faces uncertainties。
In the next step, how to stabilize foreign trade？How to further stimulate the growth potential of foreign trade？Yang Changyong suggested that, first, further consolidate the manufacturing base。In particular, the open manufacturing base is a deep driving force for steady growth of foreign trade and structural adjustment。In accordance with the plan of the Party's 20th National Congress, the focus of development should be placed on the real economy, and the level of economic innovation-driven development should be continuously improved。
Second, we need to strengthen the foundation of producer services。Foreign trade is not only the trade of products，There are a lot of services associated with it，From front-end R&D and design to back-end brand marketing, market network construction, after-sales service, etc., we need to vigorously promote high-quality development，We will promote the integration of manufacturing and service industries，So as to create new advantages in foreign trade competition including quality, brand, technology and service。
Third, further seize key products and key partners。The key products are mainly electromechanical and high-tech products, such as automobiles, especially new energy vehicles。Key partners include ASEAN countries, countries jointly building the Belt and Road, and traditional developed economies in the United States and Europe。
Fourth, pay more attention to emerging trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce and bonded maintenance。We will promote the integration of cross-border e-commerce with traditional foreign trade, promote the integration of cross-border e-commerce with some new international channels such as China-Europe Express trains, and jointly promote the steady growth of foreign trade and structural adjustment。
