The total import and export volume of Guangxi reached 392.89 billion yuan ($60.72 billion) in the first eight months of 2021, officials from the Commerce Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region announced on Sept 20.

The region's overall foreign trade volume with member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) from January to August expanded by 31.4 percent year on year to 216.1 billion yuan. 

The foreign trade volume between Guangxi and ASEAN in the first eight months increased by 32.4 percent to 189.16 billion yuan, accounting for 48.4 percent of Guangxi's total, making ASEAN Guangxi's largest trading partner. 

Officials from the Nanning Customs said that the rapid construction of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor has contributed a lot to Guangxi's foreign trade growth. 

Yang Chunting, director of the Commerce Department of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that the region will release relevant supporting policies for key foreign trade companies to accelerate the growth of new foreign trade forms such as cross-border e-commerce and marketing purchase.

"We will also take an active part in carrying out matchmakings with nearby areas in Middle and West China to attract more companies to settle down in Guangxi for foreign trade business," Yang added. 


广西对RCEP成员国进出口实现高速增长

广西壮族自治区商务厅20日通报,今年1至8月,广西外贸进出口3928.9亿元(人民币,下同),其中,对RCEP成员国进出口2161亿元,同比增长31.4%,实现高速增长。

南宁海关提供的数据显示,1至8月,广西对东盟进出口1891.6亿元,占广西对外贸易总额的48.4%,增长32.4%,持续位居广西第一大贸易伙伴地位。在其他RCEP成员国中,广西对澳大利亚进出口149.2亿元,同比增长29.9%;对日本进出口58.7亿元,同比增长13.3%;对韩国进出口56.1亿元,同比增长19.9%;对新西兰进出口5.3亿元,同比增长89.7%。

南宁海关分析认为,得益于西部陆海新通道建设加快,广西大通道优势进一步发挥,带动保税物流进出口大幅增长,成为拉动外贸进出口增长关键因素。同时,广西有色金属、钢铁及食品加工产业发展带动铜矿砂、铁矿砂、大豆等资源性大宗商品进口需求旺盛,拉动进口整体提速。

广西商务厅厅长杨春庭表示,下一步,广西将出台相关支持政策,加大对重点外贸企业的支持力度,缓解原材料价格上涨、物流成本剧增对企业造成的巨大压力,稳住一般贸易和边境小额贸易出口,促进跨境电商、市场采购贸易等外贸新业态加快增长。

同时,广西将做好边境口岸疏堵工作,保障友谊关通关顺畅。加强对驳船运力以及外贸集装箱调配的协调指导,确保香港“天天班”班次运行。稳定运行以广西为始发地的跨境直达中欧班列,满足广西优势商品出口。扩大市场主体融资和政策性出口信用保险覆盖面,降低企业开拓市场风险。

广西还将做好对重点加工贸易企业的精准服务,加强对重点新引进企业的跟踪帮扶,促进新企业尽快投产形成产能。谋划好加工贸易招商引资活动,重点推动沿海产业向粤港澳大湾区对接,做好产业链招商,积极争取潜在项目落地,培育新增长点。

“我们还要积极对接中西部邻近省份,开展调研、推介系列活动,宣传推介西部陆海新通道优势和广西自贸试验区优惠政策,促进区外企业落户广西,开展外贸进出口业务,促成外贸新增量。”杨春庭说。
