Translation of a few economic terms

[Hann]

Hi all,

As one of the members of the China Economic Databases (ics.nccu.edu.tw/eced) a free site dedicated to China's economy, I was wondering if anyone could help with translating a few terms to make sure I got them correct.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

外國直接投資

Market value of publicly traded shares

公開地貿易份額的市場價值

Current account balance

經常收支差額. or 國際收支?

Public debt

公債

Sophistication of company operations and strategy

公司操作和戰略的優雅

Quality of the national business environment

全國商業環境的質量

Networked Readiness Index

網路的準備索引

As always, all help is appreciated and if anyone knows of a good online business/economics Chinese-English dictionary that would be great. My initial online searches have come up with less than stellar results.

Cheers

We have a lot of economic terminology in the Adso database. Most of the contributions come from those reading and/or translating mainland news texts though - I'm not sure if this accurately reflects terminology in Taiwan.

Our online editing interface is in simplified Chinese, but the database contains traditional data in addition to simplified data. If you are compiling data and are interested in sharing it in open source fashion (we need permission to distribute content for non-commercial use at a minimum), please get in touch.
