昨天，海關總署對外發(fā)布了今年5月份的外貿進出口數(shù)據(jù)。上個月，我國進出口總值1.97萬億元，同比下降9.7%；其中出口1.17萬億元，同比下降2.8%。上個月的進口額則出人意料出現(xiàn)大幅下滑，進口額為8033.3億元，下降幅度達到18.1%。
進口額大幅下滑致順差擴大65%
因為進口額的大幅下滑，導致上月末我國貿易順差達到3668億元，同比擴大了65%。至此，今年前5個月，我國進出口總值9.47萬億元人民幣，比去年同期下降7.8%。其中出口5.4萬億元，扭轉了今年初同比下滑的趨勢，實現(xiàn)了同比增長0.8%；但進口則同比下滑17.2%，為4.07萬億元，這也致使今年前5個月我國貿易順差達到1.33萬億元。
煤炭、鐵礦石進口降幅明顯拖累進口額下滑
對于上個月我國外貿進口額出現(xiàn)出乎預料的下滑，有財經機構指出今年以來煤炭進口降幅最為明顯，鐵礦石進口也出現(xiàn)較大下滑，拖累了進口額的下滑，同時也顯示中國經濟內需仍然疲軟。據(jù)海關總署的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，5月份我國煤炭進口量環(huán)比大幅下滑近30%，同比降幅超過40%。今年前5個月累計進口量為8326萬噸，比去年同期累計進口量大幅減少近40%。主要原因是國內煤炭市場的不景氣、產能過剩擠壓了進口煤的市場空間。另外，進口煤因失去價格優(yōu)勢而受到冷落。
中日貿易明顯下降
而今年以來中日貿易則明顯下降，無論貿易總值還是進口額和出口額的下降幅度都超過了11%。前5個月，內地與香港貿易也大幅下降，其中對港出口下降9.2%；自港進口更是大幅下降24.1%。（中國進出口網(wǎng)）
