摘  要:随着中国改革开放的深入发展，中国对外贸易规模不断扩大，2012年对外贸易额已达3.87万亿美元，居世界第一。然而在外贸飞速发展的同时，也存在很多的问题。因此，对外贸易能否促进一国经济增长成为专家学者研究的一个热点话题。本文就我国对外贸易与经济增长的关系从理论和实证方面进行了探讨，得出对外贸易对中国的经济增长起着促进作用这一结论；并提出了中国的对外贸易开放程度还不高这一问题。为了更好的解决这一问题，促进我国经济的持续稳定发展，我们必须要大力加强各国合作，重视提高对外贸易的开放度，此外，在对外贸易与经济增长的关系中，实际进出口总值趋于平衡也是实现国内经济增长的关键因素，因此在现阶段，我国在保持出口增加的同时还应当适当地加强进口；为了促进中国经济的持续稳定健康发展，我国必须要大力改善商品的结构，大力加强服务业等第三产业的发展，从而促进国内经济的平衡稳定发展。
