国际贸易是粤港澳大湾区社会经济发展的重要特征和产业优势。2018年,粤港澳大湾区对外贸易继续稳步发展,其全球贸易中心和国际采购中心的地位得到进一步巩固。大湾区内部城市间的贸易往来协作也稳步推进,湾内贸易水平不断提升。要将粤港澳大湾区打造成世界级自由贸易港,需要从内外两个方面着手:一方面,对标全球一流自由贸易港的各项发展指标,为大湾区国际贸易树立更严苛的发展标准;另一方面,需要通过“放开一线、管住二线”等途径,充分结合粤港澳大湾区自身特点,真正实现湾区内自由贸易港的一体化。
<<International trade is the most important feature and industrial advantage of the social and economic development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In 2018,the foreign trade of this bay area has been developing steadfastly and its role as the global center of trade and international purchasing got more stabilized. The cooperation and exchange within the bay area were enhanced greatly. In order to make the bay area into a world-class free trade port,we should make efforts on two aspects. One is to compare with and learn from the various development indexes of worldclass free trade ports,and make progress based on these indexes;the other is to take into account of the characteristics of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area,and try to apply the methods of “breaking the boundary of countries and taking control of the ties between non-pilot areas” to customs managements,so as to realize the integration among all the free trade ports in the bay area.
