近年来，中国数字经济规模迅速扩大。虽然经济的平均数字化水平仍然低于发达经济体，但在某些地区和行业，特别是电子商务和金融科技以及沿海地区，数字化水平已经很高。这种转变促进了生产率的增长，对各部门的就业产生了不同的影响。展望未来，数字化将继续通过提高效率来重塑中国经济，随着经济的成熟，潜在增长率的下降趋势将有所缓和，但不会逆转。政府应该发挥关键作用，最大限度地发挥数字化的好处，同时最大限度地减少相关风险，例如潜在的劳动力中断，侵犯隐私，新兴的寡头垄断和金融风险。
China’s digital economy has expanded rapidly in recent years. While average digitalization of the economy remains lower than in advanced economies, digitalization is already high in certain regions and sectors, in particular e-commerce and fintech, and costal regions. Such transformation has boosted productivity growth, with varying impact on employment across sectors. Going forward, digitalization will continue to reshape the Chinese economy by improving efficiency, softening though not reversing, the downward trend of potential growth as the economy matures. The government should play a vital role in maximizing the benefits of digitalization while minimizing related risks, such as potential labor disruption, privacy infringement, emerging oligopolies, and financial risks.
