CHINA'S SOFTWARE, INFO OUTSOURCING SERVICE IN STEADY GROWTH
DALIAN, Jun 19, 2009 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) --
China's software and
information service outsourcing services maintained robust
growth regardless of the negative influence of shrinking
external demand, to achieve 20 per cent growth in the
contracted value of software exports and making outsourcing
service.
China's contracted value of software exports, excluding
embedded software, grew 21.6 per cent year on year to US$2.53
billion in the first five months of 2009, and that of services
outsourcing went up 25.9 per cent to US$2.59 billion.
In 2008, the contracted value of software exports amounted
to US$3.38 billion, surging 80.2 per cent, and that of service
outsourcing, including information technology outsourcing and
business process outsourcing skyrocketed 160 per cent to
US$3.81 billion.
The steady improvement in China's software export and
information service outsourcing can be attributed to the solid
foundation of the industry, as well as China's supportive
measures for R&D, education and the software industry,
according to Wang Chao, Assistant Minister of Commerce.
The Ministry will continue to work on the policy guiding
system of the industry, improve the quality of service
outsourcing and reinforce the establishment of bases for
innovation. These efforts will help ward off the financial
crisis and support the industry's future development.
China's foreign trade has been negatively influenced by the
financial crisis since November 2008. The country's total
imports and exports of service trade amounted to US$304.5
billion in 2008, up 21.3 per cent year on year, but the growth
fell 9.6 percentage points from 2007.
