Sign.

Data interpretation

Export scale is down, and the surplus is lower.

From the data point of view, Lu Zhiming, an analyst at Bank of Communications Research Center, pointed out that the main reason for the sharp drop in the trade surplus in August was that the import scale reached a record high while the export scale decreased.

From July 2011 to August, the import scale increased by 11 billion 920 million US dollars, while the export scale decreased by US $1 billion 820 million, so the trade surplus decreased by 13 billion 740 million US dollars over July.

In August, the year-on-year growth rate of imports increased. First, it was affected by the base period in 2010. Two, the pressure of domestic economic slowdown slowed down and the import demand slightly improved. Three, the state of international commodities continued to decline slightly, and the cost of domestic imports declined slightly, but the overall situation is still at a higher level.

Foreign trade data help reduce regulatory pressure

Zhang Yongjun, a researcher at China International Economic Exchange Center, said that foreign trade data should be basically consistent with expectations.

Surplus reduction

It helps to reduce the pressure of foreign exchange, and it can relieve the pressure of RMB appreciation.

The sharp increase in imports also has a positive effect on curbing domestic inflation and easing the pressure of macroeconomic regulation and control.

But he mentioned that although there is no need to worry about the foreign trade situation from the data, the deterioration of the export environment can not be ignored. The pulling effect of foreign trade on the economy is being cut down. Meanwhile, the industrial added value announced on the 9 day has obviously declined, and the downward trend of the economy deserves attention.
