Private enterprises become the main force of foreign trade What new trends in foreign trade are revealed?

Dong Ximiao, researcher at the Institute of Financial Studies of Fudan University: The position and role of the private economy in China's national economic and social development are very important. In the field of foreign trade, private enterprises have been the main force in the development of foreign trade for four consecutive years. In the first four months of this year, the proportion of imports and exports of private enterprises continued to increase to 4.4% after exceeding 2022% for the first time in 52. The growth rate of import and export of private enterprises is higher than the overall growth rate of foreign trade, which shows that the position of private enterprises as the main force of China's foreign trade has been further consolidated and their contribution has been continuously improved. For a period of time, the central government has made a series of important arrangements around the healthy development and high-quality development of the private economy, which has once again reassured private enterprises, and the vitality of the private economy has been further stimulated, which is the fundamental reason for the rapid growth of foreign trade of private enterprises. At the same time, private enterprises have increased the diversification and development of the foreign trade market, which has strongly supported the growth of import and export. Since the beginning of this year, the import and export growth rate of private enterprises to countries along the "Belt and Road" and other RCEP member countries has exceeded 9%, and the proportion of private enterprises in China's trade with the EU and the United States has exceeded half during the same period. That is to say, whether it is the development of emerging markets or the adherence to traditional markets, private enterprises have played an important role.

Create a good environment in the international market and help private enterprises "go global"

Dong Ximiao, researcher of the Institute of Financial Studies of Fudan University: The lack of external demand is a practical challenge for China to stabilize foreign trade, at present, the demand of China's private enterprises to explore the international market is more urgent, and it is of great significance to escort private enterprises to continue to go out. First, further increase high-level exchanges, strengthen economic and trade relations with major economies such as Europe and the United States, and emerging market countries such as ASEAN, and create a good environment for Chinese private enterprises to expand the international market. Second, all localities and departments have tested the waters and introduced various support policies, continuously optimized the level of cross-border trade facilitation and foreign trade business environment, and injected new vitality into private enterprises to explore overseas markets. Third, customs and other departments should continue to introduce a series of measures in terms of smooth logistics, cost reduction, and optimization of services, implement relevant policies, create a better port customs clearance environment, and provide better services for the better development of foreign trade enterprises, including private enterprises. Fourth, financial management departments and financial institutions should enhance service initiative, accelerate product and service innovation, smooth the financial bloodline, meet the development needs of different types of foreign trade enterprises, ensure the security of foreign exchange collection by foreign trade enterprises, reduce financing and transaction costs, enhance the competitiveness of foreign trade enterprises, and stabilize and expand the scale of foreign trade.
