Last Year, Textile And Clothing Exports Did Not Reach The Target Of The Beginning Of The Year.

Recently, the General Administration of Customs issued the 2014 import and export data bulletin.

Among them, exports were 14 trillion and 390 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9% over the same period, 12 trillion and 40 billion yuan in imports, a decrease of 0.6%, a trade surplus of 2 trillion and 350 billion yuan and an expansion of 45.9%.

Among them, exports of US $2 trillion and 340 billion, an increase of 6.1% over the same period, and imports of US $1 trillion and 960 billion, an increase of 0.4%.

Exports of 1 trillion and 830 billion yuan, an increase of 4.06% over the same period.

Among them, textile yarn, fabrics and products exported 690 billion yuan, an increase of 3.8%; clothing and accessories exports 1 trillion and 140 billion yuan, an increase of 4.2%.

Among them, textile yarn, fabrics and products exported 112 billion 142 million US dollars, an increase of 4.9%; garments and accessories exported US $186 billion 285 million, an increase of 5.2%.

Zheng Yuesheng, director general of the General Administration of customs and general statistics department, pointed out that the growth rate of China's foreign trade and import and export in 2014 was only 2.3%, which failed to reach the expected target of 7.5% at the beginning of the year.

The reasons are relatively complicated.

China's economic development has entered a new normal in 2014. China's opening up and foreign trade also have some new characteristics.

At present, China's foreign trade is in the shift period of growth and structural pformation, and has entered the middle and high speed growth range from the high-speed growth stage.

In 2014, the pace of world economic recovery was slow, the demand for international market was sluggish, and the downward pressure on domestic economy was bigger.

Under such circumstances, China's foreign trade imports and exports are still 2.3% higher than that in 2013. If the exchange rate fluctuates, the growth rate will be 3.4% according to the US dollar, though this is the same as the beginning of the year.

There is a certain gap, but it is not easy to achieve such a result.

Liu Xin, deputy director of information statistics department, pointed out that the competition of textile and clothing in the international market is more intense now. The share of textile and clothing in China's main export market is gradually decreasing. The reason is that the comprehensive cost of our textile and garment industry is rising, its advantages are weakening, and the international economy is in a slow recovery. Although it has not deteriorated, it has not improved.

Since 2014, the growth rate of textile and clothing exports in China has been hovering in the single digits every month. In the future, there will not be much improvement in the international and domestic macroeconomic environment. In 2015, China's textile and clothing exports will not be too optimistic.
