"In 2021, my country's export of shoes and boots will amount to 47.9 billion US dollars, an increase of 35% year-on-year, and export prices will continue to rise, rising by 15% in 2021. The supply chain of the footwear industry chain has shown strong resilience, making a positive contribution to stabilizing foreign trade. "On January 20, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting said when answering a reporter's question. She introduced that under the support of policies and the active response of enterprises, the footwear industry has continued to transform and upgrade, and the export of footwear products has achieved both volume and price increases. Next, the Ministry of Commerce will go all out to implement the stable foreign trade policy, encourage traditional industries such as shoemaking to accelerate the development of new business formats and new models, and promote the high-quality development of traditional export industries.

Shu Jueting emphasized that traditional advantageous foreign trade industries play an important role in safeguarding market entities, stabilizing employment, stabilizing foreign trade, and stabilizing expectations. The "Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Cross-Cycle Adjustment and Further Stabilizing Foreign Trade" recently issued by the State Council clearly stated that for export enterprises of labor-intensive products, including shoes and boots, all localities should implement various policies and measures to reduce the burden, stabilize jobs and expand employment. In line with WTO rules, we will increase policy support for export credit and export credit insurance, and support local governments to study and establish a fixed-point regular monitoring mechanism for employment in the field of foreign trade, so as to grasp the employment situation in a timely manner and carry out targeted assistance.
