Foreign trade recovery seen in Pearl River Delta

 

Source: China Daily   Updated: 2014-05-20
Exporters' confidence rises, even as materials and labor costs increase
The foreign trade climate index of small and medium-sized exporters in the Pearl River Delta surpassed the satisfaction threshold for the first time this year in April, indicating a recovery in trade, an industrial report said.
The index, which reflects exporters' confidence in shipping products overseas, was above the satisfaction threshold at 101.7 in April, according to the report, which was released Monday by Shenzhen Onetouch Business Service Co, a subsidiary of Alibaba.com.
Traders report grim outlook 
China's foreign trade down 1% in Q1  
The company, which provides Chinese exporters with online services, including customs clearance, trade financing, foreign exchange and logistics, releases the trade report each month.
According to the report, new orders, real export cargo volume and the capacity utilization rate in the Delta region, one of the major manufacturing and trade bases in China, were on the upswing in April.
"The upstream export trend in April indicated that manufacturers in the Delta region gradually warded off impacts brought about by a slower demand from overseas buyers after the Spring Festival, which is usually a period for slow trade growth," said Xiao Feng, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Onetouch Business Service.
But 2,000 small and medium-sized exporters surveyed in the Delta region reported an export value increase of only 0.87 percent year-on-year in April, indicating a weak recovery, according to the report.
According to the Guangdong customs authority, the trade value of Guangdong, which accounts for about one-fourth of the country's total trade, was down 18.7 percent year-on-year in April.
"The drop of export value was partly due to a lower price of Chinese products being shipped to major overseas countries and regions," said Xiao.
