[摘要]经济增长具有阶段性。经济增长的阶段性一定程度体现在保险业发展之中,并对整个保险业的发展产生影响。我国保险业处在初级阶段将是一个长期的过程;我国保险业的发展存在波动性、周期性,必须坚定不移地贯彻落实科学发展观;我国保险业发展方式的转变是必然的,但不是自发的,需要进一步加强宏观调控,通过“有形的手”引领发展。 [关键词]经济增长阶段性;保险业特征;发展方式转变;宏观调控 [中图分类号]F842[文献标识码]A[文章编号]1004-3306(2008)01-0030-03 Abstract:Economic growth is cyclical in nature. This is also demonstrated in the development of the insurance industry to some extent and will exert an impact on the whole insurance industry. China′s insurance industry will be in an initial stage of development, for a fairly lengthy period of time. The development of China′s insurance industry will also be fluctuating and periodic and we should adamantly implement the scientific concept of development. The change of growth mode of China′s insurance industry will be inevitable but not spontaneous. It should be guided through “a visible hand” of macro control and modulation. Key words:the cycle nature of economic growth; characteristics of the insurance industry; change of the mode of development; macro control and modulation
