The export volume and growth rate have both reached the highest point in the fourth quarter. The monthly export and import volume has been 36.94 billion yuan in December, increasing 50.6%, the rapidest growth rate in 2016.
Mr. Wu Jian, the spokesman of Chengdu Customs, analyzes that the newly established leading companies and the gradual releasing of expanded projects, such as the official operation of Junma Project of Intel and the producing line of Foxconn for personal computers, have all driven the rapid growth for manufacturing trade. The volume of manufacturing export trade of Sichuan has amounted to 180.74 billion yuan, increasing 24.7%, which serves as the main reason for rebounding in trade.
