The situation is grim, Guangdong furniture industry has a loss of 40%

The loss of the furniture industry in Guangdong has reached 30% - 40%, and the situation is still serious in the financial crisis. Yesterday, the special theme event of “2012 Transformation and Upgrade into Financing Platform” jointly sponsored by China Small and Medium Enterprises Association and Guangdong Furniture Association was held in Guangzhou. Guangdong Economic and Information Committee said that Lecong will be the focus of transformation and upgrading.

The situation is severe over the financial crisis year

Zhang Chengzhi, secretary-general of the Guangdong Furniture Association, said in an interview with the reporter that due to the economic environment, the loss of the entire Guangdong furniture industry has reached 30%-40%. "In the financial crisis, many furniture companies took the initiative to close the door in order to avoid risks, but now they can only be forced to close because there is no market." He said that like some big stores, they are now operating very hard and the consumption is not prosperous. The parking lot is the most telling problem. From the previous weekend to the weekend, the front of the store was full of cars, but now I have to go and see a lot. According to Zhai Zecheng, president of the Guangdong Furniture Association, the economic situation of the entire industry this year is more severe than that of 2008. Both export and import enterprises are affected to varying degrees. )

Since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, the furniture export market has continued to slump. The EU recently officially passed the “Wood and Wood Products Regulations and New Environmental Design Directives” to further improve the export of wood products to China, which has made the originally stormy export market worse. At the same time, the domestic demand market has been increasingly ruined by real estate regulation since 2011. The three comprehensive factors have caused the furniture industry in Guangdong Province to fall into a cold winter. The small and medium-sized dealers generally suffered losses, and many dealers have withdrawn from the market.

Lecong is the key to transformation and upgrading

According to Zhai Zecheng, with the support of the Guangdong Economic and Information Commission, the association will adopt three measures to promote the transformation and upgrading of furniture enterprises and promote the industry to pick up. "For enterprises with good credibility, the association provides them with financing channels; the combination of large brand groups is promoted to the market; and the government, the market and consumers work together to re-establish consumer confidence in the furniture industry." The letter committee said that Lecong is the focus of transformation and upgrading.

“Many furniture companies have financing needs.” Zhang Chengzhi said that nowadays small and medium-sized furniture companies can't afford the mortgages. Moreover, even if the cost of financing is high, banks' interest rates for SMEs generally rise, and the annual interest rate can now reach 10%. On the other hand, companies that need funds no longer dare to lend. Because the market demand is not prosperous, banks provide short-term loans. If the company borrows money products and has not sold them, it will start to pay back.

This year, we will focus on supporting small and micro enterprises.

The furniture company and the platform can be connected to the platform to gain financial, information, management consulting, legal aid and other "one-stop" solutions. On the platform side, the furniture industry will also be specially designed to introduce loan products with industry characteristics. For example, if the loan period is extended, or the total credit is provided, how much will be used by the company under the total amount, and the interest will be counted. For example, if the company only needs 1 million yuan, it will only use 1 million yuan, and the rest will not be charged interest.

According to reports, in accordance with the relevant national policy requirements, the platform's key enterprises this year are small and micro enterprises with loan quotas ranging from 1.5 million yuan to 5 million yuan. In the first half of this year, the platform has signed agreements with more than ten banks across the country, and has obtained a credit line of 150 billion yuan, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in more than 20 cities across the country. This means that each city can get an additional loan credit of an additional 2.5 billion yuan. )
