近年台湾省石化工业的发展及其与祖国大陆的关联

Development of Taiwan’s Petrochemical Industry in Recent Years and Its Correlation with Mainland

我国台湾省石化工业的发展是先从下游加工开始，在资金积累后再向中上游延伸。由于六轻计划实施，估计至1998年底，总炼油能力可达46Mt／a，乙烯生产能力为2．55Mt／a，已具有相当规模，部分产品也已具有国际竞争能力，台湾省内的市场过小，大部分产品销往亚洲市场，尤以祖国大陆为主，对祖国大陆市场的依赖性很大。自1997年7月以来，受东南亚经济危机影响，相关各国和地区货币汇率大幅贬值，台湾石化业倍受打击，影响发展。

The development of Taiwan’s petrochemical industry started from downstream processing, then accumulated capital and extended to medium-and up-stream. Because of the implementation of “Liu Qing” project (6th set of petrochemical project), it is estimated that by the end of 1998 the scale of Taiwan’s petrochemical industry has been quite big with the production of refining oil about 46 million ton and ethylene 2.55 million ton. Part of its products has had international competitiveness. Due to the smaller market in this island province f most of Taiwan’s products are exported to other Asian countries or regions. The mainland is the most important market so that Taiwan’s Petrochemical industry relies greatly on it. Since July 1997, the financial crisis of Southeast Asia has resulted in big currency devaluation in many countries and regions, thus Taiwan’s petrochemical industry has had heavy impact and its development has been affected.
