90年代前半期世界贸易的演变及其前景

Changes and Prospects for World Trade in the First Half of '90s

90年代初,世界贸易发展缓慢,到1994年才转为高速发展,这种高速发展的强劲势头,还会持续到90年代后半期。在其高速发展中,市场竞争加剧,美国在竞争中仍处于领先地位;德国的出口前景喜人,使美国的领先地位受到挑战;日本在市场竞争中也是一个最富有活力的国家。亚洲发展中国家和地区是世界上经济增长最强劲的地区,也是世界上最有吸引力的市场,美国、欧盟都急欲在亚洲扩大出口,它们的发展战略值得注意。

In the beginning of the '90s, the world trade saw a slow progress. It was from 1994 that the world trade began to develop at a high speed. This trend of development has continued to the next half of the '90s. Through this rapid development the worldwide market competition increases tensely. While the United States takes the leading place, the prospects for export from Germany is gratifying, which in turn challenges the United States in its position in the lead. Although Japan is one of the countries that is imbued with energy, the developing countries and regions in Asia are the fastest in economic growth as well as the most attractive market in the world. In this situation, the United States and Europian Union are eager to expand their exports to Asia, which merits attention.
