From the Shandong provincial chamber of Commerce, we learned that in 2014, the total import and export value of our province was US $277 billion 120 million, an increase of 4% over the same period last year.

Affected by the slow recovery of world economy and weak external demand, Shandong's foreign trade growth slowed down.

Wang Hua, director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce, said that from the perspective of the development trend of foreign trade, Shandong's foreign trade growth slowed down after the financial crisis.

From 2002 to 2008, Shandong's foreign trade increased by 29.2% annually, and from 2008 to 2014 was 6 years. The total foreign trade grew by only 9.8% in the past 6 years.

Wang Huatanchen, how to cultivate new competitive advantages is an important task facing the current business.

Ji'nan customs data show that in 2014, general trade imports and exports accounted for 61.8% of total imports and exports in the same period, while processing trade accounted for 30.8%. In terms of market structure, Shandong had maintained a good trend in the import and export growth of 32 Maritime Silk Road countries and 47 land Silk Road Economic Belt countries, with an increase of 7.3% and 4% respectively.

"It is estimated that the overall development of foreign trade in our province will be better in 2015."

From the world economic situation, the US economy has relatively stable recovery trend. The growth of developing economies and emerging market economies will be slightly higher than that of developed economies. Under the guidance of market diversification strategy, these will play a positive role in stabilizing Ji'nan's foreign trade exports.

Gu Chuntai, deputy director of the Institute of international economics of the Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the structural adjustment of foreign trade needs a long process.

Under the new normal economic situation, enterprises should not rely too much on the substantial recovery of the European and American economies, or increase the intensity of reform and opening up and the innovation of institutional mechanisms, so as to boost the structural adjustment, optimize the structure and enhance the competitiveness of products, thus counteracting the impact of the sluggish external demand.

Despite major changes in the operational environment of foreign trade, foreign trade is still in an important period of strategic opportunity. We can actively promote a new round of opening up, such as the "one belt and one way" strategy and the China South Korea Free Trade Zone, which will create new development space for Shandong.
