Shenzhen Reports Double-Digit Foreign Trade Rise

Shenzhen, one of China's five special economic zones, scored a 12.1-percent growth in foreign trade in the first three months of the year, according to customs statistics.

From January to March, Shenzhen, which faces Hong Kong across a river, did US$ 15.23 billion worth of imports and exports. Of the total, exports accounted for US$ 8.07, up 10 percent from the same period last year.

The export mix has been optimized, with electro-mechanical products making up 62.36 percent of the total export commodities, and high-tech commodities accounting for 27.7 percent.

The city also approved 420 overseas-financed projects in the first quarter of the year, with overseas investment involved up 7.8 percent year on year to US$ 595 million.

Most of the overseas investment went to businesses featuring comprehensive technological services such as computer and network technology, transport and storage.
