New trade formats such as procurement and trade have grown rapidly and become a new highlight in the development of foreign trade.

Driven by the "three constructions" such as the pformation and upgrading base of foreign trade, trade promotion platform and international marketing network, a large number of foreign trade enterprises have made efforts from the supply side to speed up pformation and upgrading, increase technological innovation and management innovation, and continuously enhance their international competitiveness. The export of products with independent licensing, independent intellectual property rights, independent marketing channels, and high technology, high added value and high efficiency has increased rapidly, effectively satisfying and even creating market demand.

According to the report, in 2018, under the impetus of sustained recovery of world economy, good domestic economic stability and enhanced endogenous dynamism of foreign trade, the overall situation of China's foreign trade has improved, but uncertain factors of instability have increased.

From the international perspective, the growth momentum of the world economy has been enhanced, but the economic and political situation is more complicated. "Reverse globalization" and the rise of trade protectionism forces, the major economies' macroeconomic policy adjustment spillover effects are highlighted, geopolitical risks one after another, and the foundation of world economic recovery is not stable.

From the domestic perspective, China's economy is expected to maintain sustained and steady growth. However, the problem of unbalanced development is still outstanding, and it will take arduous efforts to accomplish the annual target and tasks.
