The devaluation of RMB will benefit the output of high-quality enterprises, industrial upgrading and improve international competitiveness
Regional trade cooperation continued to deepen, providing new impetus for industrial exports. RCEP officially came into force on January 1. We expect that RCEP will provide new impetus for the industry to expand exports in 2022.
The devaluation of RMB continued to benefit the export of high-quality Chinese enterprises. Since the middle and late April, the RMB has continued to depreciate. Under the expectation of continuous depreciation, textile and clothing enterprises with a high proportion of overseas exports may benefit.
Policies support the upgrading and transformation of intelligent and green industries to improve international competitiveness. The guidance on the high-quality development of chemical fiber industry jointly issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology and the national development and Reform Commission will help to strengthen innovation, accelerate the upgrading of industrial structure, promote high-end industry, gradually cultivate high-quality enterprises, form leading enterprises with ecological dominance and core competitiveness, and improve international competitiveness.
