In 2020, countless foreign traders lamented: "This year is really the most difficult foreign trade year in history". After the first half, the second half begins. Affected by the epidemic, foreign trade enterprises generally face many problems, such as cancellation or postponement of orders, difficulty in signing new orders, poor logistics and transportation, and limited control.
The closure of ports in most countries is limited to the movement of people, and the trade of goods is not affected. At present, countries affected by the epidemic have adopted the policy of blocking their own countries and isolating them, but most employees also start telecommuting mode like China. After the epidemic, the foreign trade industry is also facing a new reshuffle. The epidemic is both a crisis and a turning point. When you get through it, it will turn around and ease up a lot in the game, because some opponents are "dead".
In order to reduce the negative impact of the epidemic on foreign trade, the national government has actively strengthened international economic and trade cooperation, strengthened international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control, promoted the smooth flow of international industrial chains, supply chains and logistics chains, and reduced tariffs and barriers.
Traditional foreign trade has been severely impacted by the epidemic, so it is necessary to further develop the unique advantages of cross-border e-commerce, carry out online marketing, realize online transactions, guarantee orders, markets and shares, and help foreign trade tide over the difficulties with new business models. The rapid development of cross-border electronic commerce fully demonstrates its leading role in the innovation and development of foreign trade.
At the beginning of June, the foreign trade economy will gradually recover and will usher in explosive growth. The demand of foreign trade industry will remain unchanged, but consumption will be delayed. When global enterprises pick up in the second half of the year, it is expected that the overall growth will remain small or flat, so don't worry too much.
With the accumulation of China's opening to the outside world for many years, the development of foreign trade is more diversified, the circle of friends in the international market is growing, and countries are increasingly dependent on "Made in China". In 20 19, the trade between China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road increased significantly. Judging from the proportion of foreign trade structure, China's trade achievements are further diversified, and it has established cooperative relations with 230 countries, and is the main trading partner of 120 countries and regions.
China's total import and export volume of goods trade 1 1.54 trillion yuan, down 4.9% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 6.20 trillion yuan, down 4.7%, and imports were 5.34 trillion yuan, down 5.2%. The trade surplus was 859.865438 billion yuan, a decrease of 1.2%.
The diversification of trade has reduced the influence of a single economy on China's foreign trade. Therefore, even if there is an outbreak in developed countries such as the United States, the impact of orders from other countries is not great. However, we should concentrate on trying to move to the domestic market, control the company size and capital expenditure (cash flow), and do not make venture capital.
The most important thing in foreign trade is to combine products and know the future development prospects! I don't know much about it either. I've been doing foreign trade for almost two years, and I'm not doing very well, but I think I can choose FMCG industry at first, because it's easy to make a bill and the salesman is full of confidence. For example, I am in the construction industry, which is very complicated and needs repeated communication and confirmation by the design team. It is difficult for novices to master the knowledge inside. I don't know what your major is in college. If it is other small languages, it is necessary to work harder on foreign trade knowledge. If you major in international trade, you should work hard on your language. But when you enter the workplace, you have to start all over again You still have to do it, starting from the simple, like learning the old job. There are infinite possibilities for foreign trade, at least I think so. Ha ha ha, let's cheer together.
