Shen Danyang: The New Advantage Of Foreign Trade Is Forming.

In order to promote the "going out" of equipment productivity and realize the pformation from "big to big" to "superior and superior", the Ministry of Commerce and relevant departments will intensify efforts to build a new open economy system, implement the "one belt and one road" and the surrounding infrastructure interconnection and other major strategies.

The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference to introduce the operation of the business in the first quarter.

Shen Danyang, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the export situation in the first quarter was generally relatively stable, and the growth was expected. The decline in imports exceeded expectations in a way, but the decline in foreign trade was not stalled. The Ministry of Commerce will continue to adhere to the existing measures to stabilize foreign trade, growth and restructuring.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce, in the first quarter of 2015, the total import and export volume of the country was 5 trillion and 540 billion yuan, down 6% from the same period (the same below).

Of which, exports were 3 trillion and 150 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%, and imports of 2 trillion and 390 billion yuan, down 17.3%.

For the import and export double down situation, Shen Danyang analysis pointed out that the overall export is a relatively stable trend.

Judging from the whole quarter, the decline in imports is more obvious.

The decline in imports is mainly due to the decline in commodity prices in the international market, and, of course, by the slowing down of matching imports from domestic production and the combined impact of investment on the weakening of imports.

Believe that

The drop is not yet stalling.

Imports and exports in the first quarter are generally normal, and are developing in the first place, so there is no need to panic or rush to take any new measures.

"Since last year, the State Council has issued a number of important documents. The Ministry of Commerce and other relevant departments have taken many measures. The key now is to put these policies and measures in place."

Shen Danyang said, in terms of product mix, market structure and

In the context of continuous optimization, the Ministry of Commerce will continue to adhere to the existing measures to stabilize foreign trade growth and adjust the structure.

For the whole year's foreign trade situation, Shen Danyang said that although the global economic recovery is still weak, the external demand is insufficient, the export pressure is relatively large, and the traditional competitive advantage has vitality, the new competitive advantages of technology, brand, quality and service are accelerating. The policies and measures to stabilize the foreign trade development are generally right and favorable, so we still have confidence in the steady growth of export throughout the whole year.

On the import side, with the steady development of the domestic macro-economic operation and the further acceleration of the "two carriages" of consumption, I believe that there will be a better performance.

Shen Danyang said that the next step is to focus on improving brand promotion, brand promotion, brand protection and brand information public service with the relevant departments, and strive to establish a policy environment and institutional mechanism that is more conducive to the development of Chinese brands.
