The pattern of foreign trade growth was reversed in 1984 : the value of exports increased by 10 per cent , but imports jumped 38 per cent with the result that the visible trade account was in deficit by us $ 1 . 1 billion 1984年外贸发展模式出现反向发展，出口值增长10 % ，进口值急剧上升到38 % ，结果有形贸易支出出现逆差，达11亿美元。
Nevertheless , exports of other services , in particular trade - related services , rose further in 1997 . as a whole , invisible trade registered a surplus of 112 . 5 bn in 1997 , resulting in a deficit of 51 . 0 bn in the overall trade account 整体来说，无形贸易在一九九七年录得1 , 125亿元盈馀，抵销了部分有形贸易赤字，故贸易账录得510亿元的赤字。
The more the international division develops , the more the forms become diversified , which prominently is : from inter - industry to inner - industry division ( the border is moving inward ) , from tangible trade to intangible trade division 国际分工越是发展，其形式就越多样化，突出表现为：从产业间到产业内(分工边界内移) 、从有形贸易分工到无形贸易分工。
With imports falling to a larger extent than exports , the visible trade deficit narrowed to $ 81 . 4 billion , or 5 . 7 per cent of the value of imports in 1998 , from $ 159 . 1 billion or 9 . 9 per cent of the value of imports in 1997 鉴于进口的跌幅较出口的为大，有形贸易赤字在一九九八年收窄至814亿元，相当于进口货值的5 . 7 % ；而一九九七年有形贸易赤字则为1 , 591亿元，相当于进口货值的9
There are no official statistics covering the invisible account of the balance of payments ， but the size of the visible trade surplus during 1981 - 1983 and a pronounced increase in earnings from tourism suggest that the current account has been in surplus over the past few years 没有官方的统计资料涉及无形贸易收支，但在1981 1983年期间的有形贸易顺差的大小和旅游赢利的显著增长表明了经常项目在过去几年里有盈余。
In 2002 , the total value of visible trade ( comprising re - exports , domestic exports and imports of goods ) reached $ 3 , 164 billion , corresponding to 251 per cent of gdp . this was distinctly larger than the ratios of 138 per cent in 1982 and 235 per cent in 1992 二零零二年，有形贸易(包括转口、港产品出口及进口货物)的总值达31 , 640亿元，相当于本地生产总值的251 % ，这个比率明显大于一九八二年的138 %及一九九二年的235 % 。
In 2000 , the value of visible trade ( comprising re - exports , domestic exports and imports of goods ) amounted to $ 3 , 234 billion , corresponding to 254 per cent of gdp . this was considerably higher than the ratios of 148 per cent in 1980 and 221 per cent in 1990 二零零零年，有形贸易（包括转口、港产品出口及进口货物）的总值为32 , 340亿元，相等于本地生产总值的254 % ，这个比率明显高于一九八零年的148 %及一九九零年的221 % 。
As far as import demand is concerned , the slowing domestic consumption and private investment is expected to produce a restraining effect . the visible trade deficit should significantly reduce . at the same time , off - shore trade and exports of professional and business services should expand further 由于进口需求预期因本地消费和私人投资减慢而放缓，有形贸易赤字应会显著收窄，而海外贸易和专业与商业服务出口应会进一步增加。
By a decrease in visible trade deficit , an increase in invisible trade surplus , a continued net inflow of external factor income , and a continued net outflow of current transfers . with exports of goods increasing faster than imports of goods , the visible trade deficit decreased to $ 1 . 4 billion in the third quarter of 2003 , from $ 5 . 0 billion in the same quarter in 2002 与二零零二年同季比较，二零零三年第三季录得的经常帐盈馀中，有形贸易赤字有减少、无形贸易盈馀有增加、对外要素收益有持续的净流入、和经常转移有持续的净流出。
Comparing the third quarter of 2003 with the second quarter of 2003 , and bearing in mind that this comparison for the main current account components may be affected by seasonal factors , the visible trade deficit decreased from $ 9 . 8 billion to $ 1 . 4 billion , while the invisible trade surplus increased from $ 28 . 3 billion to $ 41 . 6 billion 二零零三年第三季经常帐的主要组成部分与二零零三年第二季比较（这样的比较可能会受季节性因素影响） ，有形贸易赤字由98亿元减少至
