摘要：Services are acquiring increased
importance within economies,
employment, international trade and
foreign investment worldwide. Since
1990, cross-border trade in services has
tripled and the stock of foreign direct
investment in services has quadrupled.
Growth in services, stimulated by the
dynamism of technological change, has
been consistently higher than that of
goods. Modern services are at the heart of
debates on competitiveness and
technological innovation, as they foster
the modernization of productivity and
encourage improvements in distribution,
marketing and financial intermediation, as
well as infrastructure and logistics.
