电子产品出口搁浅

Electronics and Information Technology Exports Brake

电子信息产业是我国的出口"龙头"之一。在短暂的蛰伏、调整之后,该产业终将再次崛起,成为推动国民经济增长的重要引擎。

The export value of Chinese electronics and information technology products in 2008 totaled USD 521.76 billion, rising at an annual rate of 13.55%. However, exports dropped in the second half of the year, and this trend has continued. In the first quarter of 2009, China's exportation of communication equipment was valued at USD 22.166 billion with a year-on-year fall of 14.7%; the value of broadcasting and TV equipment exports fell by 31.25% year on year to USD 1.841 billion; computer exports fell by 24.47% to USD 45.19 billion; and exports of household appliances fell to USD 20.883 billion, a decrease of 20.98% compared with the corresponding period in 2008. The exports of electronic components, electronic devices, electronic materials, and electronic apparatus also declined sharply. The decline in exports of electronic and information technology products is inevitable in 2009 as global economic turmoil continues. But the future is not so grim: Chinese high-tech products still have many advantages in global markets; firms are ref ining their management and exploring new markets; and the government is taking all manner of measures to spur growth. All of these factors will mitigate the decline.
