In the first 11 months of this year, my country's import and export scale has exceeded the level of last year. Regarding the development trend of foreign trade throughout this year, the Ministry of Commerce predicted at a regular press conference on December 16 that the structure of foreign trade import and export will be further optimized throughout the year, high-quality development will be accelerated, and the status of a major trading country will be consolidated, which can be successfully completed.

The third is the rise in commodity prices, which has a greater boost to import growth.
        However, the current foreign trade development still faces many uncertain, unstable and unbalanced factors. The global epidemic fluctuates repeatedly, the international situation is complex, the problems of poor shipping, and the shortage of chip supply cannot be fundamentally alleviated in the short term. The overall cost of enterprises remains high, and foreign trade operations are facing greater challenges. huge pressure.
