Part "Analysis and Evaluation of the Situation," mainly includes an analysis of the world economy and trade in 2004, China's foreign economic and trade situation, the international commodity market, the engineering contracting market, and an outlook on the overall trends for 2005. In 2004, the world economy continued to grow. Developed economies showed steady upward trends, while emerging markets and developing countries experienced strong growth.
