Liu Aihua, director of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department and spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, said on the 15th that this year, with the support of a series of export stabilization policies, foreign trade companies have strengthened their market regulation capabilities, exerted their own competitiveness, and carried out diversified distribution. With hard-won results. However, in the context of the global economic contraction, it is difficult for China's exports to be alone. Therefore, we still have to fully estimate the risk challenge in this regard.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: There is only one month left in the first half of the year. What do you think of the economic trend in the second half of the year?
Exports account for a large proportion of China's GDP. With the overseas epidemic situation continuing, is there any hope for this year's GDP growth rate to "guarantee 6"? When will the global economy continue to "spring bloom"?
Liu Aihua said that in terms of exports, the prospects for exports do indeed face relatively large instability and uncertainty. Recently, many international agencies or organizations have published forecasts for economic growth for the whole year of this year, including the IMF's forecast that the world economy will decline by 3% for the whole year, and the World Trade Organization and the United Nations have all predicted global economic and trade activities. It's still relatively large. Against this background of increased risks of global economic recession, China's exports are indeed facing relatively large risk challenges. Although exports of goods achieved an increase of 8.2% in April, we cannot be overly optimistic about the prospects. Since this year, with the support of a series of export stabilization policies, foreign trade enterprises have strengthened their market adjustment capabilities, exerted their own competitiveness, and developed a diversified layout, which has achieved hard-won results. However, in the context of the global economic contraction, it is difficult for China's exports to be alone. Therefore, we still have to fully estimate the risk challenge in this regard.
What kind of predictions are there for the annual economic growth? Liu Aihua emphasized, "It is still necessary to give full play to our own advantages, unleash our own potential, and actively respond to the current risks and challenges, to help business entities cope with the difficulties encountered today, and promote China's economy to return to normal track.
