Wen Jiabao: Increase Credit Support To Foreign Trade Enterprises

On from October 13th to 14th, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council

On the evening of 13, at 8 o'clock, Wen Jiabao hosted a forum on the heads of foreign trade enterprises.

There are textile, light industry, electrical appliances, electronic commerce, new energy and other industries, and the head of the Taiwan capital enterprise association and the foreign enterprise association.

Guangdong Ying Hao arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is a private export enterprise which mainly hosts Christmas gifts and other Western holiday gifts.

Zhou Zongyou, general manager, said that the export volume of enterprises in these two years continued to grow, but their profitability declined. The main reason was the rising cost of exports and the declining purchasing power of foreign customers.

He hoped that the government could stabilize relevant policies to enhance private sector participation.

Wen Jiabao, who has been listening carefully, immediately took the topic and said, "we are studying, and will soon come up with the implementation of the" 36 rules for encouraging and guiding private investment. "

Wen Jiabao pointed out that at present and in the coming period, foreign trade should focus on the three pillars of "steady growth, adjustment of structure and promotion of balance".

Steady growth is to overcome the adverse effects of external environmental changes and solve the practical difficulties faced by foreign trade enterprises in a timely and appropriate manner so as to maintain steady growth in imports and exports.

We must base our efforts on expanding domestic demand to achieve sustained economic development, but foreign trade enterprises can not easily give up their international market share.

To adjust the structure is to optimize the structure, market structure and regional structure of import and export products, improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade, and enhance the sustainable development ability of foreign trade.

Promoting balance means paying attention to exports and paying attention to imports so as to promote the basic balance of international payments.

Emphasizing "promoting balance" is not to suppress exports, but mainly to expand imports, not to restrict the use of foreign capital, but mainly to expand foreign investment.

Wen Jiabao stressed that five tasks should be focused on: first, to maintain the basic stability of the export policy.

We should stabilize the export tax rebate policy, speed up the export tax rebate, and increase the credit support for foreign trade enterprises.

We must keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable and avoid any significant impact on foreign trade enterprises.

Second, actively expand imports.

Speed up the formulation and strengthening of import promotion

Wang Yang, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the Guangdong provincial Party committee, accompanied the inspection and research.
