Policy steps to sustain China trade momentum

BEIJING: China will roll out a raft of well-focused policy steps to sustain the momentum of its foreign trade, which has been resilient and stable in the first eight months of the year despite sluggish global economic and trade growth, says the Commerce Ministry.

“The country will fine-tune its policy mix to address the pressing concerns facing enterprises. Targeted measures to advance the development of processing trade and shore up the growth of services trade and digital trade, for instance, will be introduced,” said He Yadong, a spokesman of the ministry, at a news conference last Thursday.
