我國經濟發展現況及展望

回顧台灣經濟發展歷程，從1940年代後期到2005年的近六十年間，台灣從每人GDP不到100美元增加到16,000美元；出口金額從不到1億美元，成長至接近2,000億美元；從美援接受國，發展成為對外投資大國。

Looking back over the course of Taiwan’s economic development during the almost 60 years from the late 1940s to 2005, its per capita GDP has climbed from less than US$100 to US$16,000, its export value has grown from under US$100 million to nearly US$200 billion, and it has developed from a recipient of US Aid into a major provider of outward FDI.
Over the same period, Taiwan’s growth model has shifted from one mainly driven by inputs of labor and capital to one mainly led by inputs of innovation and R&D, while industrial development has gradually shifted from emphasis on capital accumulation to emphasis on heightening added value. These along with progress in political democratization and the enhancement of social justice have been the main ingredients in the success of the“Taiwan experience.”
