摩根士丹利总经济师斯蒂芬·罗奇(Stephen Roach)认为,保持高经济增长速度对中国政府是非常重要的,但更重要的应该是经济结构的调整。罗奇说,中国政府很看重8％的增长速度,事实上经过努力它也能够实现或接近实现这个目标(摩根士丹利预测1998年中国GDP增长7％)。但是,对中国而言,最重要的是想要一个高质量的增长还是高速度的增长。高速度的增长可以用扩大投入(资本和资源)来实现, Stephen Roach, chief economist at Morgan Stanley, believes that maintaining a high rate of economic growth is very important to the Chinese government, but more importantly, the adjustment of the economic structure. Roach said that the Chinese government places great emphasis on the growth rate of 8%. In fact, it can also achieve or is close to achieving this goal (Morgan Stanley predicts China’s GDP growth of 7% in 1998). However, for China, the most important thing is whether you want high-quality growth or high-speed growth. High-speed growth can be achieved by expanding investment (capital and resources)
