According to estimates of the Council for Economic Planning and Development, by the end of the century the R.O.C could enter the ranks of the developed nations. Per capita GNP could exceed US $ 13,000. At that time, the standard of living will not be much different than in the U.S. or Europe.
根據行政院經濟建設委員會的預測，至本世紀末，我國可邁向已開發國家之林，平均每人國民生產毛額（Percapita GNP）將可達美金一萬三千餘元。
