我看到国家统计局刚刚公布的2月份数据当中,有一个数字非常低,就是社会消费品零售总额这个数字,从来没有这么低过。从来春节月份都比平常月份高几个百分点,在最萧条的1999年,春节也是11点几的增长,平常月份是百分之六、七。而今年,居然前两个月平均累计增长是8.5%。 One of the figures I have just seen released by the National Bureau of Statistics for February is very low, the figure for the total retail sales of social consumer goods, which has never been lower than that. The Spring Festival has always been a few percentage points higher than usual in the most sluggish 1999, the Spring Festival is also a 11 o’clock growth of 6%, compared with 6% in normal months. This year, the average cumulative increase in the first two months was 8.5%.
