记者:2013年,亚洲国家经济继续领跑全球,但风险和挑战有所增多,保持可持续发展的压力增大。作为亚洲第一经济大国,中国在促进亚洲地区保持经济增长势头、开展互利合作方面可以发挥什么作用?
Journalist In 2013, the economy of the Asian countries continued to lead the global economy, but risks and challenges were on the rise, and the pressure of maintaining sustainable development builds up. As the largest economy in Asia, what role can China play in promoting sustained momentum of economic growth and carrying out mutually beneficial cooperation in Asia
刘振民:2013年,亚洲经济继续保持较快增长,仍是当今世界最具活力和潜力的地区之一,是拉动世界经济复苏与增长的重要引擎。据国际货币基金组织(IMF)预测,亚洲新兴经济体今明两年经济增长分别为6.3%和6.5%,远高于世界平均水平。同时,受发达国家货币政策调整等影响,一些国家市场波动加剧,亚洲经济下行风险上升。尽管中国经济也面临一些压力,但仍是世界上增速最快的大国,发挥着地区经济稳定器的重要作用。
Liu Zhenmin Asia has maintained relatively rapid economic growth in 2013, and is still one of the regions with the most vigor and potential in the world today, serving as a major engine to stimulate the world’s economic recovery and growth. The IMF forecasts that, the economic growth rates of Asia’s emerging economies in this year and the following year are 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent respectively, much higher than the world’s average. Meanwhile, affected by the adjustment of monetary policies in developed countries, the market fluctuation in some countries is aggravated, and the risk of economic downturn in Asia increases. Although China’s economy is also faced with some pressure, China is still a major power with the highest growth rate in the world, playing a crucial role in stabilizing regional economy.
中国与亚洲国家的经贸联系非常紧密,已成为许多亚洲国家的最大贸易伙伴、最大出口市场和重要投资来源地。中国广泛开展同地区国家的务实合作,与亚洲国家积极开展高新科技、新能源和节能环保等领域合作,推进与周边国家的产业园、生态园、经贸区等合作项目。今年1至9月,中国与东亚和南亚国家贸易额超过8343亿美元,占同期中国对外贸易总额的27.3%。中国对外投资约七成投向亚洲国家和地区。据估计,中国经济增长对亚洲经济增长的贡献率超过50%。
With very close economic and trade relations with other Asian countries, China has become the largest trade partner, largest export market and an important investment source of many Asian countries. China carries out pragmatic cooperation widely with other countries in the region, implements cooperation actively with other Asian countries in fields such as high and new technology, new energy, energy conservation and environment protection, and promotes cooperative projects of industrial parks, ecological parks and economic and trade zones with neighboring countries. The total trade volume between China and the East Asian and South Asian countries from this January to September exceeded 834.3 billion USD, which took up 27.3 percent of China’s total foreign trade volume during the same period. About 70 percent of China’s foreign investment goes to the Asian countries and regions. It is estimated that the contribution rate of China’s economic growth to Asian economic growth has surpassed 50 percent.
