In September, the increase in imports and exports set a new record again, an increase of 37.3%
News from our newspaper (Reporter Li Xinyi) The reporter learned from Chengdu Customs on October 25 that the total import and export value of Sichuan’s goods trade in the first three quarters of this year was 422.12 billion yuan, an increase of 28.8% over the same period last year, which was much higher than the overall national import and export growth in the same period. . After breaking through historical highs for two consecutive months in July and August, the growth rate of Sichuan's foreign trade import and export set a new record in September, an increase of 37.3%.
Wu Jian, spokesperson for Chengdu Customs, introduced that Sichuan’s foreign trade in the first three quarters had several major characteristics:
The way of trade has become more optimized. General trade has grown faster than processing trade, and leasing trade has exploded. The import volume of leasing trade in our province in the first three quarters reached 1.39 billion yuan, compared with 7.82 million yuan in the same period last year.
The foreign trade market is becoming more diversified. In the first three quarters, the import and export of Sichuan and the countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” was 118.77 billion yuan, an increase of 28.4%. Among them, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Oman surged by 1.2 times, 1.1 times, and 2 times respectively.
Regional development is more coordinated. Chengdu still maintains its status as a “leader” but its proportion is declining. Mianyang and Yibin are growing rapidly. The high-tech comprehensive protection zone is still an important contributor to the province’s foreign trade. Mianyang benefited from the launch of BOE's Mianyang flexible panel project. Imports and exports surged 1.3 times in the first three quarters, and Yibin grew by 62.1%.
The structure of import and export products was further optimized. In terms of exports, in the first three quarters, Sichuan’s exports of mechanical and electrical products increased by 36.9%, and exports of high-tech products increased by 34.3%, of which integrated circuits increased by 41.4%; automobiles surged by 3.8 times; color TVs increased by 58%. In terms of imports, the proportion of imports of high-tech products has increased, and the imports of resource products such as metal ores have also maintained a rapid growth rate.
