Statistics show that in April, China's import and export growth rate declined slightly compared with the first quarter, but it continued to operate at a high level.

Foreign trade continued to stabilize, and the foreign trade structure continued to be optimized.

"Compared with the first quarter, China's foreign trade import and export base has increased in the two quarter.

At the same time, with the early impact of import and export price factors have gradually dropped, import and export growth relative decline is also a normal phenomenon.

Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said.

"The overall figures for April are still good.

From the perspective of exports, the growth rate is stable, and the growth rate of imports and exports is mainly affected by imports.

Liu Yingkui, director of the International Investment Research Institute of the China Council for the promotion of trade, pointed out that the growth rate of imports in single month from 1 to March reached 25.5%, 44.7% and 26.4% respectively, while the growth rate of imports in April was 18.6%.

Before the analysis, the foreign trade structure of April can be found. First, the growth of general trade imports and exports will be increased.

China's general trade imports and exports 4 trillion and 750 billion yuan, an increase of 21.6%, accounting for 56.5% of China's total import and export value, 0.6 percentage points higher than the same period last year.

Two, bilateral trade between the EU, the United States, ASEAN, Japan and other major trade partners will continue to grow.

The EU is China's largest trading partner. The total trade volume between China and Europe is 1 trillion and 240 billion yuan, an increase of 15.5%, accounting for 14.8% of our total foreign trade.

The United States is the second largest country in China.

The total trade volume between China and the United States is 1 trillion and 180 billion yuan, an increase of 20.3%, accounting for 14% of our total foreign trade.

ASEAN is China's third largest trading partner, with bilateral trade totaling 1 trillion and 60 billion yuan, an increase of 24.2%, accounting for 12.5% of China's total import and export value.

Three, the ratio of imports and exports of private enterprises is increased.

Before April, the import and export of private enterprises in China increased by 3 trillion and 170 billion yuan, an increase of 21.7%, accounting for 37.6% of the total value of our foreign trade, which was 0.4 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year.

Four, electromechanical products and traditional labor-intensive products are still the main export force.

Clothing, textiles, furniture, footwear, plastic products, bags, toys and other seven types of labor-intensive products total exports 915 billion 160 million yuan, an increase of 12.2%, accounting for 20% of the total value of exports.

"The growth rate of foreign trade in the former April is still the same as that of the first quarter, and its growth rate is more than 20%, and the structure of foreign trade is continuously optimized. This is still grim and difficult in the world economic situation, and the adjustment of China's industrial structure.

Time is precious. "

Liu Yingkui said.

Imports of imports, including iron ore, crude oil and natural gas, rose sharply in April.

Imports of iron ore 3.53 million tons, an increase of 8.6%, the average import price of 553.4 yuan per ton, up 73.8%; crude oil 1.39 million tons, an increase of 12.5%, the average import price of 2680.5 yuan per ton, 59.7% increase; 89 million 490 thousand tons of coal, 33.2%, the average import price of 615.1 yuan per ton, increased by 615.1.

In addition, mechanical and electrical products imported 1 trillion and 660 billion yuan, an increase of 14.5%, of which 360 thousand vehicles, an increase of 22.7%.

According to the survey released by the General Administration of customs during the same period, China's foreign trade export index was 40.7 in April, up 0.5 from the previous month.

The export manager index rose 1 to 44.8, the new export orders index and the enterprise composite cost index rose 1.8, 1.2 to 48.2, 23.2 respectively, and the export manager confidence index dropped 0.4 to 50.5.

Analysts said that the environment for China's foreign trade development this year is expected to be slightly better than the past two years.

At the same time, we must also see that the fundamentals of our foreign trade development have not changed for a long time. There are a series of favorable factors and conditions for the import and export enterprises to participate in international competition.

In particular, the "one belt and one road" initiative has been put forward for more than 3 years. China's enterprises have built 56 economic and trade cooperation zones along 20 countries along the "one belt and one road", with a total investment of over 18 billion 500 million US dollars, and the export driving effect is obvious.

In the face of the new situation in the development of foreign trade, we should further deepen the implementation of various policies of the state to support the development of foreign trade, accelerate the cultivation of new advantages in foreign trade competition, accumulate new momentum of foreign trade development, and continue to improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade development.
