国内外市场开拓对上海1997年的经济形势是至关重要的。1997年的国际市场对我们是比较有利，增长速度上去了，对于出口产品的需求就比前几年好些。如日本从去年开始上去了，今年一季度增长达到3．94％，在发达国家中是高的。这会带动我们的出口。今年利用外资的形势不容乐观，因 Market development at home and abroad is crucial to the economic situation in Shanghai in 1997. The international market in 1997 was more favorable to us. The growth rate went up and the demand for export products was better than in previous years. For example, Japan began to go up from last year, and its growth in the first quarter of this year reached 3.94%, which is high in developed countries. This will drive our exports. The situation of using foreign capital this year is not optimistic.
