The global epidemic has impacted international trade, and Guangdong's foreign trade has reached a new high against the trend. The import and export is expected to exceed 8 trillion yuan in 2021. On January 13, the provincial business teleconference in 2022 was held. The meeting revealed that in 2021, driven by the top ten projects of high-quality trade development, the three business indicators of Guangdong's foreign trade, foreign investment and consumption reached a record high. The global epidemic has impacted international trade. Problems such as port congestion, port congestion, "one container is difficult to find", commodity price rise and "core shortage" power rationing have brought many challenges to the development of foreign trade. Looking at the whole country, Guangdong, whose economic volume ranks first in the country, accounts for 1 / 5 of the country's foreign trade scale and 1 / 6 of the country's service trade scale. "It is more difficult and challenging for Guangdong to stabilize its foreign trade, but stabilizing the basic plate of Guangdong's foreign trade is the key to stabilizing the basic plate of China's foreign trade." Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that Guangdong's foreign trade hit a new high against the trend, which not only shows the toughness and stamina of Guangdong's economic development, but also highlights the accumulation of Guangdong's foreign trade transformation and upgrading, providing strong support for Guangdong to build a strategic fulcrum of a new development pattern. Over the past year, Guangdong has made frequent moves to play a series of "combination punches" of stabilizing foreign trade policies in the face of many challenges and pressures under the epidemic situation. Add momentum to the development of new business forms and new models of trade - "10 high-quality development of cross-border e-commerce" and "8 innovative development of market procurement trade" have been introduced. Seven comprehensive pilot zones including Meizhou, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhanjiang, Maoming and Zhaoqing have been included in the pilot of cross-border E-commerce retail import. The scale of cross-border e-commerce and market procurement in the whole province is expected to exceed 300 billion yuan. Orderly progress of major trade platform projects - Guangzhou Nansha import demonstration zone launched the construction of six 10 billion level import platforms such as automobile trade, aircraft leasing and cold chain logistics, added six national foreign trade transformation and upgrading bases, and supported the construction of the first seven Provincial Overseas Economic and trade cooperation zones. Financial innovation injects "living water" into the development of foreign trade - promoting financial institutions to issue "Jiayi loans" of more than 190 billion yuan, the underwriting scale of policy export credit insurance of more than 100 billion US dollars, and "maorongyi" provides financing support of 2.4 billion yuan for small, medium-sized and micro foreign trade enterprises. On a new journey, in the face of the epidemic and the instability of global supply and demand, how can Guangdong's foreign trade continue to ride the wind and waves and meet the difficulties? "The future development of foreign trade faces many uncertain factors, but Guangdong's foreign trade development has a solid foundation for long-term accumulation and high-quality development." Bai Ming believes that RCEP has officially come into force, and there is a possibility of in-depth adjustment of the supply chain in the Asia Pacific region. Guangdong should continue to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, cultivate strong endogenous development power, and continuously improve its international competitiveness by creating a better business environment. Zhang Jinsong, director of Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, said that this year, it will further deepen and promote the ten major projects of high-quality trade development, focus on planning and launching the construction of Global trade digital pilot area in Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay area, strive to build a group of competitive trade leading enterprise clusters, and continue to hold 100 economic and trade activities of "Guangdong trade global" and "Guangdong trade national", We will make new breakthroughs in promoting high-quality development of trade.
