The "late spring" of foreign trade has come?

China's foreign trade enterprises have only one market, that is, the global market.

"The first half of China, the second half of the world". Prior to this, due to the rapid deterioration of the epidemic, the first Chinese factories were unable to return to work due to the outbreak of the epidemic. Then, influenced by the global epidemic situation, many foreign trade enterprises' orders were cancelled, and new orders were also faced with great difficulties.

It is no doubt a good thing for Chinese enterprises to end the "lockout" as soon as possible. The machinery industry, home gardening industry, consumer electronics industry, building materials industry and garment industry will be the first to usher in new opportunities because of the wide market.

However, considering that the epidemic is still likely to be repeated, the resumption of production and production will be "small and slow", and the recovery of production and business activities will not happen overnight.

In Austria, where the epidemic prevention measures were the first to "relax", Kurtz, prime minister, made clear that he would carefully judge the epidemic trend, and "brake at any time" at any time, and take strict measures to prevent epidemic diseases.

This means that the prospects for economic and trade cooperation between China and the rest of the world are still not optimistic in the short term, and it is difficult to see a "V" rebound immediately.

Liu Yingkui, director of the Department of international investment of the China Council for the promotion of trade, said that although the information sought by countries seeking to release information is somewhat promising for China's foreign trade enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, the volume of trade may gradually recover, but it is not completely restored. When the company heard the news, it still can not be careless. It is recommended that enterprises pay close attention to the epidemic situation in various countries.

From the point of view of logistics, some shipping companies and airlines have not yet fully returned to work, and their capacity is limited. This may still bring risks to enterprises in fulfilling their contracts.

From the consumption point of view, some products produced by foreign trade enterprises belong to intermediate products, not terminal consumer goods, because some factories have not been resumed and resumed production, and they can not be sold.

In addition, after the outbreak, countries may modify some international investment and acquisition laws, showing an increasingly stringent trend.

All in all, the lifting of control measures is a gradual process. It is suggested that enterprises do well in internal work, such as improving production quality, anticipation of market demand, making relevant responses to laws and decrees in various countries. Enterprises should also maintain close communication with customers, laying a solid foundation for obtaining more orders after completely unsealing.
