The Ministry of Commerce recently issued Several Policies and Measures to Support the Stable Development of Foreign Trade, proposing six targeted measures. Against the background of increasing pressure on China's foreign trade to maintain stable growth, this move aims to play a good first hand, create good conditions and provide new assistance for foreign trade to achieve the goal of maintaining stability and improving quality, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

The timely introduction of policies and policies is inseparable from the recent changes in the international economic and trade situation. In the first eight months of this year, China's foreign trade import and export volume reached 27.3 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of more than 10%. However, the growth rate of foreign trade import and export in August was 7.9 percentage points lower than that in July. Among them, the slowdown of foreign demand growth is the biggest factor in the decline of foreign trade growth, and it is also the biggest uncertainty facing foreign trade at present.

According to the observation report on the import and export data of Huacheng, from the perspective of international demand, the economic growth of major economies such as the United States and Europe slowed down, and the market demand for imports declined. At the same time, high inflation in major economies has increased the crowding out effect on general consumer goods. Some time ago, many foreign importers had high inventories, which restricted the release of new orders.

In fact, the decline in external demand is not only a problem faced by Chinese enterprises, but also by enterprises in Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. According to World Trade Organization data, the overall export growth of 68 major economies in the world dropped from 14.9% in the first quarter to 11.9% in the second quarter. The growth rate of global trade in goods fell back. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

Despite the slowdown or even weakening of foreign demand, foreign trade in the second half of the year is still in a position to achieve positive growth. The important reason is that China has a good foreign trade foundation. On the one hand, China's foreign trade industry has a solid foundation, and the competitiveness of high value-added and high-tech products is constantly improving; On the other hand, China's free trade agreements with other trading partners are playing a positive role.

Policy support is a key factor in stabilizing foreign trade. According to the observation report of Huacheng's import and export data, since this year, a series of policies and measures have been introduced to stabilize the economy and foreign trade, which has achieved good results. The new round of stable foreign trade policy is mainly aimed at the pain points and difficulties faced by enterprises at present, and should also focus on helping enterprises to cope with the rapid changes in the external economic and trade environment more calmly.

It is necessary to guarantee the performance and timely delivery of foreign trade orders. In the context of slowing external demand, it is very important for enterprises to ensure that orders can be produced and delivered and products can be transported. On the premise of ensuring epidemic prevention safety of key foreign trade enterprises, support should be given in electricity, labor, logistics and other aspects. All localities should take the initiative to provide services in advance and solve the specific problems of foreign trade enterprises' production performance.

Support enterprises to participate in various overseas self run exhibitions, encourage qualified places to expand the scale of overseas self run exhibitions, and continuously improve the effectiveness of participation. Under the situation of normalized epidemic prevention and control, foreign trade enterprise personnel who go abroad to participate in exhibitions and negotiate business should strengthen service guarantee.

Efforts should be made to improve trade facilitation. While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, efforts should be made to improve the efficiency of customs clearance at ports; Promote standard operating procedures, further improve the efficiency of goods circulation, reduce the burden on enterprises, and ensure the stability and smoothness of the industrial chain supply chain; By focusing on the implementation of the new round of foreign trade policies, we will strive to provide high-quality services for the majority of foreign trade enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and strive to achieve the set goal of maintaining stability and improving quality of foreign trade this year, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.
