论东南亚贸易自由化与经济增长

On Trade Liberalization and Economic Growth in Southeast Asia

战后,东南亚国家的贸易政策大致经历了三个阶段。80年代末90年代初开始,各国加快了贸易自由化的步伐。各国大幅降低关税水平,减少非关税壁垒,使之关税水平和结构呈现新的变化。东南亚国家贸易自由化推动了进出口贸易规模的扩大,提升了货物与服务的世界市场占有率,促进了产业部门尤其是制造业的出口贸易、劳动生产率和最终收入的增长,从而成为国内经济增长的引擎。在世界性和区域性贸易自由化加速发展的背景下,东南亚国家贸易自由化的进程将有所加快。

The trade policies of Southeast Asian countries have experienced three stages after World WarⅡ. Since late 1980s and early 1990s, the countries concerned have accelerated trade liberalization. They have lowered the tariff rates and reduced non-tariff barriers, which resulted in the changes in tariff level and structure. The trade liberalization in Southeast Asian countries has promoted the expansion of import and export trade, increased the world market share of good and service, promoted the increase of export trade, labor productivity and ultimate yield of the industrial sector, especially manufacturing, thus becoming the engine of domestic economic growth. With the accelerated development of worldwide and regional trade liberalization, the progress of trade liberalization in Southeast Asian countries will be further quickened.
