The share of consumption in GDP in these economies fell from more than 60% in the early 1980’s to less than 50% today. In China, it is less than 40% – far below the norm for the world’s major economies and for other Asian economies at a comparable stage of development – despite nearly 7% annual average growth in China’s per capita consumption in recent years.
这些经济体消费占GDP的比重从20世纪80年代初的60%多下降到了如今的不到50%。中国更是只有不到40%，远低于世界主要经济体的平均水平，也低于处于可比发展阶段的亚洲经济体，虽然近年来其人均消费平均年增长率接近7%。
