In the first half of the year, the growth rate of Zhejiang’s foreign trade import and export is lower than the negative growth

According to statistics from Hangzhou Customs, from January to June 2012, Zhejiang Province achieved a total import and export value of 149.65 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 3.5%, which is lower than the national average growth rate of 4.5 percentage points, and the value of imports and exports ranks fifth among all provinces and cities in the country. Among them, exports accounted for 105.65 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 5.2% year-on-year, 4 percentage points lower than the national average growth rate, and exports ranked the 3rd among all provinces and cities in the country; imports were 44 billion U.S. dollars, down 0.4% year-on-year; imports by the whole country increased by 6.7% over the same period. The province’s import value ranks sixth among all provinces and cities in the country.

Last month, Zhejiang's import and export value of foreign trade all declined. In June, the total value of foreign trade in Zhejiang's imports and exports was 26.58 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 1.1% year-on-year and a 6.1% drop. Among them, exports fell by 3.9% month-on-month; imports fell by 12.1%. This is also the third time that the import and export value of Zhejiang has fallen since the beginning of this year.

The clothing industry's export growth has shown negative growth. "In fact, the company has bought clothes of less than 200 yuan in the XXXX building." This is Zhuang **'s recent exclamation on Weibo. There are not a few consumers who have the same feelings. In recent years, the prices of clothing in shopping malls have soared. The situation of thousands of dollars is not uncommon. However, reporters recently discovered that most shopping malls in Hangzhou are silently discounting clothing prices. "It's generally less than 50%." Ms. Zhang told reporters after visiting the mall. This was relatively rare in previous years.

On the one hand, due to the European debt crisis, orders for Chinese foreign trade companies have sharply declined. On the other hand, domestic purchasing power is not as strong as in previous years. Both factors have different degrees of impact on import and export business.

According to the Hangzhou Customs, in the first half of the year, the traditional export products of textiles, clothing and high-tech products were relatively sluggish, of which exports of clothing and high-tech products were US$ 12.31 billion and US$ 7.54 billion, respectively, down 1.7% and 0.59% year-on-year respectively.

"This negative growth is probably the first time in Zhejiang's garment industry. Therefore, this year's garment companies, whether domestic or foreign trade, have generally high inventory, and discounts at shopping malls are also an indication of excess demand in the garment industry." Hangzhou Textile Commission, responsible for the Economic Commission People said.

The decline in the export value of traditional commodities, such as clothing, mainly comes from the impact of traditional export markets.

What is more obvious is that in the first half of the year, exports to the EU have experienced a sustained negative growth, with exports of 24.81 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 6.8%. Exports to the United States, ASEAN, and Russia increased by 13.6%, 10.4%, and 14.1%, respectively; the growth rate was down 26.2% from the same period last year. This slowing rate of growth has also made companies feel that business is increasingly difficult to do.

“The orders for arts and crafts exported to Australia and Europe and the United States have been reduced by at least half from last year.” Mr. Li told the reporter that the depreciation of the Euro and Australian Dollars also directly reduced foreign trade profits. He is currently trying to switch to Brazil, Africa, etc. Emerging Markets.

Zhoushan and Yiwu lead Zhejiang's foreign trade Although the overall growth of Zhejiang's foreign trade slowed down in the first half of the year, in the six-month foreign trade report, Zhoushan and Yiwu scores are the most eye-catching.

In the first half of the year, Zhoushan and Yiwu exported US$7.36 billion and US$2.02 billion, up 29.1% and 20.5% year-on-year respectively. The traditional markets of Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Shaoxing imported and exported 47.3 billion U.S. dollars, 30.39 billion U.S. dollars, and 15.84 billion U.S. dollars, respectively, an increase of 1%, 0.78%, and 1.5% year-on-year, respectively, lower than the average growth rate of the province's foreign trade import and export of 3.5%.

In June, Zhoushan and Yiwu exported 1.37 billion U.S. dollars and 410 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 49.9% and 16.4% year-on-year respectively. Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Shaoxing respectively exported and exported 8.2 billion U.S. dollars, 5.15 billion U.S. dollars, and 2.87 billion U.S. dollars, which were respectively increased by 0.05%, 4.2%, and 5.9% year-on-year.

The data shows that Zhoushan and Yiwu are opening up gaps with other regions and become the leader in Zhejiang's foreign trade. This also shows that the advantages of the two major areas of Zhejiang's four major national strategies have already emerged.

Foreign trade companies still stick to the transition?

According to expert analysis, currently the province’s foreign trade faces three main difficulties: First, the global economic situation remains grave, uncertain and unstable factors increase, external shocks cannot be underestimated, and the European and American markets are shrinking; second, the cost of labor increases, raw material prices are still high The problem of the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized enterprises is still very prominent. The exchange costs of *** can hardly be ignored. The overall operating costs of enterprises are rising, the profit space is being compressed, and the operating pressure is increasing. Third, the trade friction is increasing and the trade environment is becoming tighter. For 17 consecutive years, it has become the world’s country that suffers the most trade frictions. The form of friction has been continuously refurbished, involving the continuous expansion of industries, the increasing number of initiating countries, and the increasing institutional problems.

"This year's import and export business is indeed not ideal. I do import business. From the perspective of the downstream retail market, it is rather gloomy." Ms. Yang, general manager of Yiwu Overseas Business Co., Ltd. admitted frankly that she had imported German knives, bedding, etc. The year has been very hot and the market has gradually opened up, but this year's situation has made her somewhat confused.

In the face of such confusion, does the transition of foreign trade companies stick to it? In this regard, there are also optimistic companies. “Doing foreign trade depends on the industry. At present, the decline in export orders is basically luxury consumer goods, but the export of daily necessities is still large. In addition, although the European and American markets are not doing well, but the There is still much room for growth in the Americas, such as Brazil, and other markets,” said Mr Li of Yiwu’s foreign trade.

It is worth noting that from the data in the first half of the year, some product exports have not been affected too much, but have shown a good growth trend: as of the first half of exports of home appliances 2.67 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 17.4% year-on-year; export car 100 million U.S. dollars , an increase of 92.8% year-on-year; exported auto parts 2.23 billion US dollars, an increase of 9.4%.
