摘要
20多年来泰国经济持续增长,取得了可喜成果。特别是近几年,在世界各国经济增长速度大都降低的情况下,泰国仍保持着稳定的发展,其成就引起国际上的重视。一般估计,90年代泰国可能跨入“新兴工业国”行列,继“亚洲四小龙”之后,成为“第五条小龙”。现将泰国经济发展的主要情况与经验综述如下。
The continuous develop- ment of Thai economy in the rocent 20 years has caught big attentions in the world. It is generally estimated that Thailand might step into the rank of newly-industrialised countries by the 1990s, and become the 'Fifth Small Dragon in Asia'.From 1961 to 1986, Thailand had carried out 5 Economic Development Plans. During the first 21 years, its economy had undergone an annual growth rate of 7.3% and from 1982 to 1986 4.4%. Within 26 years its gross domestic product has increased by 4 times and the average personal income by 8.6 times. Export has also rised by a big margin.On one hand, the reason for such a continued and steady development lies in the stability of Thai's political situation in the past 20 years, and on the other hand, in the full use of 'three lows and one high' (i.e. low oil price, low dollar exchange rate, low loan interest and high exchange rate of major European currencies) in the development of world economy and correct adoption of policies or measures.
