GUANGZHOU: Guangdong's import volume reached US$149.61 billion in the first 11 months this year, a record high in the province's foreign trade history.

The figure represents an increase of 27.2 per cent from the same period of the previous year, and US$18.91 billion more than the province's total import volume in 2003, an official from Guangdong Customs said yesterday.

The province's import volume from general trade reached US$40.86 billion from January to November, 26 per cent up year-on-year, while imports from processing industry came to US$89.8 billion, a year-on-year growth of 23.3 per cent.

The good performance by the province's import industry has helped Guangdong, China's biggest foreign trader, realize a total foreign trade volume of US$319.07 billion in the 11 months ending November, up year-on-year 25.8 per cent and accounting for 30.7 per cent of the country's total.

It is the first time in its foreign trade history that Guangdong's total import and export volume hit more than US$300 billion in a year, Wu said.

The province's export volume recorded a year-on-year increase of 25.5 per cent to come to US$169.46 billion in the first 11 months.

The southern Chinese province that borders Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions has posted a foreign trade surplus of US$19.85 billion.

Hong Kong, the United States and European Union (EU) continued to be the three biggest trade partners of Guangdong this year.

Orders from Hong Kong notched up at US$60.37 billion in the first 11 months this year, 26.6 per cent up year-on-year, while Guangdong's exports to the United States and EU also reached US$40.85 billion and US$24.42 billion, up year-on-year 22.5 per cent 19.1 per cent respectively.

The province's exports to the countries of Middle East, the countries of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and South Korea also enjoyed big growth in the first 11 months.
