亚洲地区,经济增长放缓 今年以来,亚洲地区一些主要经济增长放缓,出口需求下降并影响到金融市场的稳定。 显示该地区经济状况的主要指数如出口和商业信心等都不容乐观。亚洲不少国家和地区的经济主要是靠出口来推动的。“9·11”事件对它们的影响也首先反映在贸易数字上。比如,韩国已经预计9月份的进出口比去年同期分别下降了近12％和17％,贸易盈余减少一半以上。台湾9月份进出口的跌幅也创下纪录,当局预计今年全年的出口将比去年减少20％,到2002年第三季度之前都难以恢复。菲律宾今年头8个月的出口出现21年来最大跌幅,政府预计全年出口将萎缩10％到15％。
Slower Economic Growth in Asia Since the beginning of this year, some major economic growth in the Asian region has slowed down, the export demand has dropped and the stability of financial markets has been affected. Major indicators of the region’s economic conditions, such as exports and business confidence, are not optimistic. In many Asian countries, the economy is mainly driven by exports. The impact of “9.11” incident on them is also reflected in the trade figures first. For example, South Korea has already forecast that import and export in September will have dropped by nearly 12% and 17% respectively over the same period of last year, with the trade surplus reduced by more than half. Taiwan also recorded a record drop in imports and exports in September. The authorities expect exports this year to be 20% lower than last year and difficult to recover until the third quarter of 2002. Exports in the Philippines for the first eight months of the year showed its biggest drop in 21 years and the government expects full-year exports to shrink 10% to 15%.
