摘要:自20世纪80年代以来，出现了一种引人注意的经济现象：以美国为首的发达国家出现了经济服务化的趋势，近年来，服务贸易的增长持续超过商品贸易，服务贸易、服务业等带来的经济增长是不争的事实。随着区域经济一体化的不断加强，世界经济结构的调整，服务产业的迅速发展，国际投资的不断增加，带动了整个世界经济的迅速发展，以美国为例，美国是世界上最大的第三产业国，其服务业的产值约占国内生产总值的90%，在WTO成立之后，服务业的重要意义逐渐凸显了出来，且服务贸易的发展可带动各国人员的流动，人才的交流，同时还可以促进经济的发展，因此，各国都在不断的发展服务贸易以带动自身经济的发展。我国由于人口众多，贫富差距较大，人口分不均等因素，服务业的发展还处于初步成长阶段，在体质、结构、规模以及国际竞争力上都存在不足，需要借鉴美国等发达国家服务贸易的优势，以提高我国服务贸易的国际竞争力。
