According to the CEPD's goals, exports over the next 15 years should grow by 6.1 percent and imports by 7.9, so that by the year 2000, the ROC will approach a balance between imports and exports, enabling it to deserve the name of a "developed country in international trade."
依照經建會的規劃，未來十五年若每年出口增加百分之六．一，進口增加七．九，則到了西元二千年時，我國進出口將接近平衡，也就可以稱得上「國際貿易的已開發國」了。
