Looking forward to
Environment recovery, risk still cannot be ignored
In the first half of 2017, the global economic situation continued to improve, presenting the first "simultaneous recovery" in seven years. In advanced economies, the us, the eurozone and Japan have generally recovered. In emerging economies, China and India continue to lead growth, and Russia and Brazil are emerging from recession. The international monetary fund and the world bank have raised global growth forecasts. International trade and investment continue to rebound, the WTO released by the world trade climate index for the highest level since May 2011, the international investment is also showing a sustained growth momentum, indicates the further recovery of world economy.
Under the environment influence, western medicine products at home and abroad continue to steady demand growth, combined with the Chinese government this year to continue the burden for the enterprise, accelerating the development of new formats, adjusting the trade structure, work harder to build favorable environment, to provide multiple power to promote trade growth, western medicine products in our country present ShuangWang situation of import and export trade. In the second half of the year, the import volume of Chinese western medicine products will continue the growth momentum of the first half of the year, maintaining the double-digit annual growth rate.
But there are still many uncertainties about growth in the second half of the year. One is that inflation in major economies, such as the us and the euro zone, is still facing challenges in global economic growth. Second, the United States has threatened to launch a "301 investigation" against China, and unilateral trade protectionism is on the rise, adding new uncertainties to the international trade situation. Third, the increase in the probability of geopolitical and military conflicts, the nuclear issue and the Syrian armed conflict will have negative effects on the international economy and trade. Four drug regulatory situation at home and abroad is becoming more and more strict, especially domestic agency GMP flight check increasingly frequent, generics consistency evaluation into the deepening the execution phase, gradually tightening environmental policy, enterprise survival pressure continues to increase, Five is to focus on the international market, seek increased Numbers of the domestic enterprise engaged in the import and export of western medicine, this will inevitably lead to more competitive, western medicine products export average falling are also associated with this.
