These signs are a direct footnote to the Sino-Russian non-dollarization economic and trade environment. The purpose of money is to circulate goods. Obviously, the increase of local currency settlement between China and Russia provides more space for Chinese and Russian enterprises to create income. It is not difficult to understand that the businesses of the two countries active in the Sino-Russian border have staged very prosperous business scenes in recent years.
Therefore, the proportion of Russian imports from China settled in RMB has also increased from less than 5% three years ago to 15%. We also noticed that the central banks of China and Russia signed a currency swap agreement as early as four years ago. According to a recent report summarizing the gold foreign exchange assets management activities of Russian banks, the share of RMB in the foreign exchange assets held by the Russian central bank suddenly increased by almost 14 times (from 1% in the third quarter of 20 17 to 14.7%).
In fact, in addition to strengthening cooperation in cross-border RMB business and other financial fields, as early as the beginning of 20 18, according to the report of Zhongxin. com, a Russian bank even airlifted 65.438+0 million rouble cash to Harbin Bank for the first time, realizing the two-way flow of rouble cash, which not only opened the customs entry and exit channels for airlifting rouble cash, but also realized the two-way flow of rouble cash, which is a cross-border bypass of the US dollar-based international clearing system.
According to customs data, by the beginning of 20 1 1, China's imports of Russian agricultural products increased by 52.5% year-on-year. 1 In the first month, the trade volume between China and Russia reached US$ 9.204 billion, up by 10.8% year-on-year, which was the first time in 20 1 year.
This reflects the Russian market's love for Russian quality products. What's more, Russia is transforming from a single energy source (oil, natural gas, etc.). ) Export-oriented economy develops into comprehensive consumer industries such as agriculture and food processing. In this regard, the president of the Russian Air Bridge Freight Company said that the freight volume between Russia and China will continue to grow in the next few years, especially in the context of the substantial growth of Internet commerce, but there are still some legal differences in logistics, which hinder freight efficiency.
This reflects the China market's love for Russian high-quality products, and Russian farmers have also reaped rich benefits. Take 65438+ 10, the peak consumption season before the Spring Festival as an example. Seafood from 83 countries and regions is exported to China market, and Russia ranks first, and its fishery is booming. Take seafood as an example, the demand for fresh seafood is growing steadily. Since June 20 1 16, China carried out the trial import of imported edible aquatic products at Suifenhe Port, a large number of Russian fresh aquatic products flooded into Suifenhe River, which not only changed the local economic structure and development model, but also enriched the dining tables of China and China people. For example, readers can easily find that Russian specialty foods such as chocolate, dairy products, seafood and wine are very popular around our lives, whether online or offline.
Meanwhile, times have changed. Recently, some Russian profiteers seem to be getting closer and closer between China and Russia. About 100 profiteers from Blagoveshchensk, the Russian Far East, arrived in Heihe, China on the other side of the river early in the morning, rushing between shopping malls, morning markets and physical stores, entering the mode of sweeping goods, spending all their cash and bringing the cheap products back to the Russian market for sale.
In fact, "profiteering" is a special group that appeared in the 1980s. Even the evolution of Sino-Russian trade may become the best footnote for international profiteering. For example, in the 1980s, someone traded a backlog of canned food from a factory in eastern Sichuan for a civil aviation plane. However, compared with the past, some new changes have taken place. In the past, China people mainly went abroad to buy products and brought them back to China for sale. Now foreigners also come to the China market to buy products made in China and bring them back to their own countries for sale. This has become a popular business model for foreigners.
According to a recent report in the Russian newspaper, the Russian authorities have expanded the list of strategic materials, and smuggling materials with strategic significance will be severely punished. At present, this list includes fish fillets, canned fish, sturgeon caviar, shrimp and shellfish. Experts said that expanding this list is aimed at coping with the endless tricks of smugglers. For example, according to Sputnik news agency & radio's 65438+1October 18 report, according to Russian Far East Customs, customs officers intercepted 5 1 ton of live crabs smuggled into China, worth about 540,000 US dollars. Russian media claimed that these people were active in Sakhalin, Primorsky Krai and other parts of the Far East, and repeatedly exported valuable seafood from Russia with forged documents.
