Business change
Free trade area starts trading increased 40%
Chongqing commercial daily: the current international economic situation and, in this context initiated start years CAFTA? from 1st January to run so far, you can give what kind of evaluation?
Xu ningning: I just finished "China-ASEAN economic and trade cooperation report, mainly in the analysis of the CAFTA cooperation, based on the prospect of future trends, to the 11 countries of political and business circles to reasonable proposals. Pleasure in the first discussion on relevant developments with you.
CAFTA1 started January 1, China world is a great thing. I have always believed that in this world, one third of the population of the free trade area, 11 countries open their markets to each other, will change the map of the world economic development. Free trade area for 10 months, has helped China and ASEAN common responses to the risk of financial crises.
Chongqing commercial daily: in what respect?
Xu ningning: here are some very important data. CAFTA initiated before October, China and ASEAN trade grew by 42%, surpassing the United States, China has become the first ASEAN's major trade partners in investment, the ASEAN countries have become important sources of foreign investment, a Chinese enterprises "going out" the preferred one, for example in contracting projects, in areas such as investment, mineral resources, many enterprises in Chongqing to countries such as Singapore, Viet Nam, China on the ASEAN investment though absolute amount is still not great, but the speed is faster.
Tax rate changes
2015 more favorable tax will
Chongqing commercial daily: January 1, CAFTA implementation of tariff-free, but enterprises are concerned, this is not a free trade area of the final concessions?
Xu ningning: of course not, because now the enterprise with Cambodia, Laos, Viet Nam, Myanmar and other countries to do business, also do not enjoy the full tariff policy. CAFTA started also in the basic stages of completion, it is expected that by 2015, the vast majority of Member States of products of tariff is zero, free trade zone even fully completed.
Chongqing commercial daily: the current enterprise can enjoy tax? in what level?
Xu ningning: at present, our country on average import duty rates in ASEAN is 1%, the Member States of ASEAN and old on average tariff 1.6%, it should be said that are relatively low, because this year the average tariff is still foreign to 9.8%.
About ASEAN
Chinese enterprises also need extra lessons
Chongqing commercial daily: ASEAN is an emerging and a huge market, China's enterprises to develop?
Xu ningning: CAFTA than WTO also open, offers greater trade friction less, but there are many organizations do not understand. So ironically, some enterprises still ask, CAFTA? what you need to join it? ... It can be said that for CAFTA energy opportunities, there are some local governments and enterprises lack sufficient knowledge.
Chongqing commercial daily: in fact this is not a new topic, do you think companies should how to seize the opportunity?
Xu ningning: I would like to pass your report's continuing concern, let the parties know the CAFTA opportunities and challenges for economic and trade cooperation between the two sides agreed on development planning, understanding of the countries of the region's political, economic, social, cultural, and economic policies, industry guidance, investment environment, market characteristics, extra lessons to help Chinese enterprises. For example, enterprises to actively develop the tariffs in the market, export product is not to forget to fill in the free trade area of the preferential origin certificate, certificate of origin is not checked will not be able to demonstrate that your products are made in China, have been handed in tariff. At the same time, enterprises have to talk about policy, do a deal with the ASEAN countries products duty-free access to the local market.
How to make moves
: Policy into other markets
Chongqing commercial daily: for specific policies, can you give the enterprise branch offer advice?
Xu ningning: CAFTA will grow faster and faster, enterprises should promptly develop new marketing strategies and tactics; as soon as possible to understand China and ASEAN countries market opening timetable, such as for Laos, Viet Nam and other late-open country, making the programmes dealing with change, actively increasing the capacity of each other's market; second, to pay attention to walk into the other market feasibility analysis, concerned about the other changes of national economic policies to improve investment performance, promoting the enterprise products in new markets, expand into other markets-business channel, select the right business partner.
In particular, I would like to remind the Chinese enterprises, ASEAN and Japan, Korea and other countries have signed the implementation of free trade agreement, which also did not sign, plus some European countries and some product set for China to form the friction of trade barriers. In this context, the domestic enterprises to invest in ASEAN
Is an excellent opportunity. Of course, more and more outside the enterprise investment, use of ASEAN and the ASEAN and China's "zero tariff" to develop the Chinese market, there are opportunities.Chongqing opportunities
Two trump cards to make up the "bridgehead"
Chongqing commercial daily: facing an ASEAN huge domestic market, where the Government is also to take action?
Xu ningning: of course, such as the Guangxi Nanning in promoting "-Singapore economic channel" building consensus; Henan convened the ASEAN Forum exhibition economy cooperation; cooperation between Singapore and Guangdong building "knowledge city", built with the cooperation of Jilin Province "new agricultural cooperative food zone", and the Sichuan provincial cooperation built "Science and technology innovation Park". Chongqing two contractors "China-ASEAN legal co-operation and Development Forum" is also an effective way to promote cooperation.
Current is the development of China's economy during the crucial period of transformation, ASEAN is the key market, the first action will be benefited. Now, we ask about CAFTA phone there are hundreds per day.
Chongqing commercial daily: as early as 2007, Chongqing new open strategy, the main leading city said to "object-oriented ASEAN", do you think of Chongqing in ASEAN markets will act?
Xu ningning: I think, Chongqing open strategy of "South" is the ASEAN. Have a landlocked first bonded port area, the most comprehensive free trade zone, Chongqing become from ASEAN's recent "large regional transportation hub". At the same time, Kun Mann Highway and the trans-Asian railway infrastructure, Chongqing and ASEAN's distance reduced by more than half. With this Foundation, Chongqing as inland into ASEAN "bridgehead".
Government services
Working on the Business Advisory Council
Chongqing commercial daily: do you think the moment Chongqing Municipal Government can do what kind of work?
Xu ningning: Enterprise is the subject, I would like to place the Government should pay attention to and support for SMEs and mutually beneficial cooperation. As CAFTA, an important task is to make the majority of SMEs in the region, to share the mutual benefits of opening up the market, at the same time, it may avoid some SMEs on the open market. Chongqing Municipal Government can lead to introduce related policy initiatives to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN SME.
In addition, within the framework of the CAFTA are not yet a transnational business consulting, business and industry in the regional economic cooperation potential, and also has not been fully tapped. Should China and ASEAN cooperation needs of enterprises, China-ASEAN Business Council is preparing the establishment of the Business Advisory Council, Chongqing can actively recommend local representative bodies as the members of the Committee.
Chongqing commercial daily: Enterprise when you can enjoy the Advisory Committee's services?
Xu ningning: we plan to set up a meeting next month. Service content generally include: production and Marketing Advisory services, investment advisory services, business consulting, management consulting, legal, risk management, accounting services, auditing services, tax services, asset valuation, etc.
