对当前实施“扩大内需”战略的理性思考

The Rational Thinking on Implementing the Strategy of "Expanding Domestic Demand"

为应对当前的全球金融危机,中国及时启动了4万亿元投资的"扩大内需"计划。实际上,扩大内需计划在1998年亚洲危机后就提出了。这次战略举措尽管在解决当时的经济"疲软"问题,维持中国经济数年的高增长功不可没,但这一计划对于"扩大内需"本身而言,却是失败的。因此,应该认真总结经验教训,以免在这轮"扩大内需"战略后重蹈覆辙。

To respond to the global financial crisis, China launched four trillion yuan investment plan of ＂expanding domestic demand＂ in time. Actually, the plan of expanding domestic demand was put forward after the Asian crisis in 1998. In solving the problems of economic weakness, maintaining the high economic growth for several years, this strategic countermeasures played important role. But it was a failed plan to the plan itself of ＂expanding the domestic demand＂. Hence, it should conscientiously summarize experience and lessons in order to avoid the same mistake in this round strategy of ＂expanding domestic demand＂.
