宁波外贸分析
摘要:简要介绍了中国宁波外贸的大背景和优势和不足,介绍了宁波面临的困难和解决办法及黄岩岛问题对宁波外贸对影响
关键词:宁波;困难;黄岩岛问题;优势;宁波外贸的大背景
进入21世纪,我国的外贸迅猛发展。“十五”期间我国对外贸年均增长24.6%,远高于同期世界贸易和我国GDP增长速度,2005年我国进出口总值达到14221亿美元,外贸规模全球排名第三。中国对外贸易极大提升中国经济实力和综合国力,为中国融入经济全球化,产业升级起到不可估量作用。与此同时,“中国制造”产品在很多国家成了中低档产品的代名词,国际上,遭遇各种贸易壁垒,反倾销,贸易纠纷不断。国内方面,资源消耗比重过高,能源紧缺。而实际上,中国贸易利益有限,出现了“中国制造”的尴尬:8亿件衬衫才换回一架波音,而且“顺差在中国,利润在欧美”。究其原因,中国外贸主要依靠出口规模和数量为主,外贸竞争力仅体现在以劳动密集型和资源密集型的粗放型产品上。在以后较长时间内,如何从贸易大国走向贸易强国,提升外贸竞争力,是中国对外贸易的主要任务。在中国外贸大背景下:相比国内其他城市,宁波外贸竞争力较强。充分发挥比较优势,在很多劳动密集型产业和部分资本技术密集型产业劳动密集的生产制造环节取得了竞争优势,如纺织服装、轻工文具和小家电,汽车配件等。在附加值较高的设计和流通环节,高新技术、品牌竞争力还处于劣势。宁波现今面临的难题和破解
经历了多年的快速增长,宁波开放型经济取得了令人瞩目的成就,2011年地区进出口顺差占全国的15%,整个地区经济增长对外贸的依存度高达105%。欧债危机爆发后,一般日用品、造船和光伏等行业受到了全面的冲击。受此影响,2012年一季度,宁波出口同比增长仅4.8%。如何有效应对这一个困难局面,成为当前全市经济领域共同的一个课题。
2.1难题破解:银企携手推动融资创新
针对当前外贸企业收汇少、融资难的现状,作为“中小企业外汇金融服务年”活动的第二期主题,4月27日下午,外汇局宁波市分局联合市外经贸局,在宁波国际会展中心举办了“百家成长型外贸企业专场活动”,专门为我市120余家成长型外贸企业提供融资对接,并在现场达成16亿元人民币的融资意向。本次百家成长型企业专场活动,标志着宁波市“百家成长型外贸企业帮扶计划”进入实质性实施阶段,也成为我市外汇金融和外贸管理领域密
切合作、共同助推涉外经济发展的一个新的里程碑。
银行、保险合作共赢,创新性产品支持外贸企业开拓新市场。在传统市场出口前景不乐观的情况下,东欧、中东等出口市场却仍然保持了强劲的增长势头。但是由于上述市场属于高风险地区,很多企业面对订单却不敢接单。在外汇局的大力支持下,我市银行进行了大胆的创新,主动与保险公司对接,对买入的出口应收账款投保出口信用保险,并在此前提下对企业发放出口贸易融资。这种做法有效分摊了风险,增强了出口企业的风险管理和融资能力,为涉外企业开拓东欧、拉美、非洲等地区及广大新兴市场提供了强有力的金融支持。目前,我市已有多家企业通过上述方式得到融资。亿元人民币的专项融资配套,可以基本满足126家成长性外贸企业的资金需求,必将成为我市外贸企业攻坚克难最强有力的资金支持。随着中小企业外汇金融服务年活动的不断推进,外汇局宁波市分局还将围绕汇率、大宗商品交易、小微企业等,开展各具特色的主题活动。
2.2扶危济困:银行与企业共克时艰
长期以来,外汇局宁波市分局一贯坚持服务开放型经济发展的理念,在百家成长型外贸企业专场活动上,外汇局宁波市分局宋汉光局长向全市外汇金融系统发出倡议,要求各外汇指定银行积极拓宽资金渠道,主动创新外汇金融产品,自觉加大对中小企业让利,破解当前企业发展难题,与广大中小企业共克时艰,共同成长。在外汇管理部门的大力倡导下,中国银行宁波市分行、中国进出口银行宁波分行和中国信用保险公司宁波分公司向广大企业做出郑重承诺:加大对企业的信贷支持,不设定企业存款、结算、承兑汇票、个人理财等任何附加条件,不增加隐性财务成本,并在费率、利率等方面按市场水平予以下浮。掷地有声的承诺,给广大外贸企业拓展业务吃了一个“定心丸”。在“中小企业外汇金融服务年”活动的积极推动下,我市外汇指定银行通过总分行联动、海内外联动等方式,多方筹措低成本外汇资金,投入到对我市外贸企业的支持中去。在本次专场活动中,有126家成长型外贸企业提出了约79亿元人民币的融资需求。对此,参加专场活动的两家银行表示,宁波分行已经预留了50亿元人民币的融资额度,另外,再从海外筹措低成本资金20亿元人民币,用于专项满足百家成长型企业的贸易融资需求。
今年宁波外贸分析
2012年一季度浙江宁波外贸外经低速增长一季度,浙江省宁波市外贸进出口总额222.9亿美元,同比增长1.9%,增速比1-2月回升2.5个百分点。其中出口133.0亿美元,增长4.8%;进口89.8亿美元,下降2.1%。
黄岩岛问题对宁波外贸对影响
对宁波今年前4个月分析,宁波口岸对菲律宾进出口总额累计为3.1亿美元,同比增长
2.1%。其中,进口2831万美元,下降34.2%;出口2.8亿美元,增长8.2%。从主要进出口商品看,进口未锻造的铜及铜材1009万美元,下降64.5%;进口废金属697.9万美元,增长11.7%;出口机电、音像设备及其零附件5542万美元,增长15.3%;出口纺织原料、纺织制品5531万美元,增长1.1%。宁波海关有关人士认为,虽然对菲贸易占宁波口岸外贸总额的比例较小,但由于黄岩岛所在海域毗邻国际海运航线要道马六甲海峡,该事件未来对国际海运航线的后续影响值得关注。
