Foreign Trade Index of Major Chinese Regions: Beijing
Xinhua is releasing dispatches on major economic indicators of ten major Chinese regions in the first three quarters of this year.
Following is a general development of foreign trade in Beijing in the first three quarters: Beijing-based enterprises exported 3.12 billion U.S. dollars during the January-August period, up 5.1 percent over the same period last year, but 6.9 percentage points lower than the first six months due to less demand in the international market.
