印度今年經濟增長將超中國

It’s official, sort of. After 20 years of breakneck growth, China is going to pass the title of the world’s fastest growing big economy to India this year.

來自印度方面的官方消息：經過20年的飛速發展，中國將在今年卸任“全球增長最快的經濟大國”這一頭銜，接任者是印度。

New projections out of New Delhi Friday confirmed that the government expects gross domestic product to grow by over 8% next year, rising to over 10% in subsequent years (albeit, the government’s fiscal year runs from April to April, rather than being a calendar year).

上週五，新德里公佈的最新規劃中稱，印度政府預計下一年國內GDP增長率將超過8%，並在隨後幾年突破10%（注：印度政府的財年從每年4月份開始，而非按日曆年計算）。

Delhi’s forecasts come as China’s growth is slowing down, as the authorities switch their emphasis from export-oriented manufacturing to more domestically- and service-based activities. However, China’s economy remains more than twice as large as India’s, meaning that it, rather than India, will remain Asia’s powerhouse for the foreseeable future.

與此同時，中國的增長正在放緩，政府正轉換重心，從出口導向型製造業轉向內需和服務驅動經濟。儘管如此，中國的經濟規模仍是印度的兩倍以上。也就是說，在可預見的未來，亞洲經濟的主要動力仍將來自中國，而不是印度。
