聽說過“新鉆十一國”嗎？

　　The Next Eleven (known also by the numeronym N-11) are the eleven countries – Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Turkey, South Korea, and Vietnam – identified by Goldman Sachs investment bank and economist Jim O'Neill in a research paper as having a high potential of becoming, along with the BRICs, the world's largest economies in the 21st century. The bank chose these states, all with promising outlooks for investment and future growth, on December 12, 2005. At the end of 2011, the four major countries (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey), also known as MIKT, made up 73 percent of all Next Eleven GDP. BRIC GDP was $13.5 trillion, while MIKT GDP at almost 30 percent of that: $3.9 trillion.

　　Next Eleven(縮寫為N-11，新鉆十一國)指孟加拉國、埃及、印度尼西亞、伊朗、墨西哥、尼日利亞、巴基斯坦、菲律賓、土耳其、韓國以及越南等十一個國家，高盛投資銀行經(jīng)濟學家吉姆•奧尼爾在一篇研究論文中將這十一個國家與“金磚四國”并列為二十一世紀全球最大經(jīng)濟體國家。高盛銀行在2005年12月12日將這些國家選為“新鉆十一國”，每個國家都有良好的投資和增長前景。到2011年底，其中的四個主要國家(墨西哥、印度尼西亞、韓國和土耳其)的國內生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)占所有十一國的73%。“金磚四國”的GDP為13.5萬億美元，而上述四國的GDP約占其30%，為3.9萬億美元。

　　The criteria that Goldman Sachs used were macroeconomic stability, political maturity, openness of trade and investment policies, and the quality of education. The N-11 paper is a follow-up to the bank's 2003 paper on the four emerging "BRIC" economies, Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

　　高盛銀行在選擇這些國家時采用的標準有：宏觀經(jīng)濟穩(wěn)定程度，政治成熟度，貿易及投資政策開放程度，以及教育質量。這篇有關“新鉆十一國”的論文是2003年“金磚四國”(巴西、俄羅斯、印度、中國)論文的后續(xù)篇。
