Ningbo, a city dominated by open economy, releases its new round of open-economy goals at the beginning of each year.
At the municipal export-oriented economy working conference held on March 27, the municipal government published the "Government's proposal on speeding up the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade services and building the modern international port city" (hereinafter referred to as the proposal) and proposed that by 2016, the volume of imports and exports via Ningbo Port will reach US$ 320 billion, with US$150 billion being self-managed import-export volume.
According to the proposal, to achieve a better balance between exports and imports, Ningbo will actively develop the import trade while further maintaining and expanding exports. By strengthening the promoting role of imports to the economic balance and structural adjustment, Ningbo will enhance the cultivation of import bodies and carriers, and make the city one of the most important import ports in China. By 2016, the development of the import trade will be accelerated, and the import volume will account for 40% of the city's total foreign trade volume.
In the following years, Ningbo Bonded Zone, already chosen as a national demonstration area for import-driven innovations, will play a more important role in promoting the development of import trade in Ningbo.
