据有关资料显示,国际服务贸易正以超过货物贸易发展的速度高速增长。20世纪90年代尤其是1994年签订《服务贸易总协定》以来,服务贸易的发展势头更为强劲。1997年服务贸易总额比上年增长7．1%,达1．35万亿美元,占全球贸易总额的20．2%。服务贸易已打破多年来货物贸易在国际贸易领域内一统天下的局面,日益成为国际贸易不可 According to relevant information, international trade in services is rapidly growing at a rate faster than the development of the trade in goods. Since the 1990s, especially since the signing of the General Agreement on Trade in Services in 1994, the development momentum of service trade has been even stronger. In 1997, the total volume of trade in services increased by 7.1% over the previous year to 1.35 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for 20.2% of the total global trade. Service trade has broken the unification of the world trade in goods trade over the years and has increasingly become an issue of international trade.
