專家指出，外貿的穩定增長將有助于提振整體經濟前景和市場信心，增加我國對外國投資者的吸引力。

海關總署6月9日公布的數據顯示，我國5月份出口總值打破了預期，達到1.98萬億元，同比增長15.3%;進口1.47萬億元，同比增長2.8%。

我國今年5月份的進出口總值達到了3.45萬億元，同比增長9.6%，從而使我國今年前5個月的進出口總值達到了16.04萬億元，同比增長8.3%。

Analysts said stabilizing foreign trade and investment has become especially important，as China strives to sustain growth and keep market entities and employment stable despite the complex internal and external environment.

Zhao Ping，vice-president of the Academy of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade，said the advantages of China's complete industrial chains will be further unleashed to bolster the competitiveness of its foreign trade enterprises as the epidemic eases，and carefully designed policies are now in place to buoy the economy.

Raymond Siu，chief financial officer and interim president of US-based paints，coatings and specialty materials company PPG's arm in the Asia-Pacific region，said that China has the most comprehensive and resilient supply chain system，and as it continues to open up，foreign companies are benefiting from increased opportunities in the growing Chinese market.

貨膨脹會促使貿易值增長，但是相比出口的強勁反彈，這方面的影響相當有限。他還指出，中國的外貿將會繼續擴張升級，因為近期發布的穩外貿政策需要過一段時間效果才能完全顯現。

國務院總理李克強6月8日主持召開國務院常務會議，承諾將部署進一步穩外貿穩外資舉措，提升對外開放水平。他還要求打通堵點、完善配套，充分發揮政策效應。
