Zhejiang'S Exports Will Continue To Grow At A Rate Of 24%.

The financial turmoil has spread rapidly to the real economy.

For Zhejiang, where export dependence is relatively high, the crisis has also been attacked through various channels.

In addition to adverse effects, there are also some positive factors.

Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Statistics recently analyzed: since the second half of the year, our province's export enterprises have become stronger and stronger, and the weaker and weaker are the survival of the fittest.

The Provincial Bureau of statistics mentioned this point in the statistical analysis of the impact of the current international situation on Zhejiang's external economy.

The data show that because of various internal and external pressures, the export growth rate of private enterprises in our province has shown a downward trend since the second half of last year, and those enterprises with competitive prices, low technological content and a single market have significantly declined or even declined.

In the 1~9 months of this year, more than 21000 of the total export performance was made in the province (about 70% of the total export enterprises). About half of the private enterprises' exports were reduced compared with the same period last year, and nearly 1900 private enterprises stopped their self export business.

Some good signs are emerging.

Many enterprises actively explore the international market, and benefit from technology and management.

In the first three quarters of this year, the export volume of private enterprises with 1/3 increased by more than 50% over the same period last year.

"The stronger the stronger the exporters, the weaker the weaker is, the more obvious the situation is."

Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Statistics said.

Foreign economy has always been one of the main driving forces for Zhejiang's economic growth.

In 2007, our province's dependence on foreign trade (the ratio of import and export gross value to the gross domestic product) and export dependence (the total value of exports equivalent to the gross domestic product) reached 71.6% and 51.9% respectively.

But this scenery has been challenged this year, especially in November. For the first time in 9 years, our foreign trade import and export value declined.

"The survival of the fittest is the law of the market economy. In a sense, the elimination of individual low-level enterprises is a good sign for Zhejiang's economic restructuring and pformation of its development mode."

Zhuo Yongliang, director of the provincial development and Reform Institute, said.

The grim situation is likely to become a driving force for the pformation and upgrading of export oriented enterprises. After the reshuffling process of the fittest, export enterprises will push enterprises and commodities to change the image that they won only at a low price in the past, and rely more on scientific and technological progress, R & D design, energy saving and emission reduction, brand quality and comprehensive services to occupy the market, creating better economic benefits and greatly improving their competitiveness.

At the same time, from the central government to the local government, many measures have been put forward to promote exports.

Zhejiang province is trying to issue "relief fund" in various forms, such as government, enterprise and enterprise mutual assistance, so as to help small businesses tide over capital difficulties.

Since December 1st, the state has continued to increase the export tax rebate rate for some labor-intensive products, electromechanical products and other products.

This is the third time this year to raise the export tax rebate rate.

Cao Xinyu, vice president of the China Textiles Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said that speeding up the export tax rebate rate, easing the credit difficulties of enterprises, reducing the occupation of funds, and enhancing the function of "hematopoiesis" of enterprises may be more beneficial to enterprises.

Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Statistics predicts that Zhejiang's exports will maintain a growth rate of about 24% this year, but the growth in the first half of 2009 is likely to be less than 20%, and the export growth mode will be further optimized.
