Text A 广州申亚财政与市场预测

广州经济发达，财力雄厚。1999年至2003年，广州市累计财政收入年均增长速度达到18%。随着经济的持续稳定增长，预计到2010年广州的财政收入将超过90亿美元。

体育事业是政府公共财力投入的重点领域之一，2002年广州财政投入体育事业经费1390万美元，2003年增加到1960万美元。如广州获准承办2010年亚运会，我们将确保举办亚运会所必需的公共财力，逐年安排资金，按时完成亚运体育场馆及配套设施的建设。

为解决举办2010年亚运会所需要的资金，我们编制了合理稳妥的资金计划。分为两大部分：

第一部分为非组委会概算，总投入为11.727亿美元。其中，场馆设施计划投资为4.252亿美元，包括新建场馆和现有体育场馆的更新改造投资。配套设施投资7.234亿美元，主要建设亚运村、记者村、新闻中心、场馆道路绿化和环境保护等设施。资金由政府和民间共同筹集。

第二部分由组委会概算。收入总额为2.05亿美元，支出总额为2.02亿美元。支出项目中，安排竞赛费用5200万美元，主要包括组委会竞赛部和各单项竞委会组织各项比赛需要的费用；安排宣传推广及文化等费用4875万美元，主要包括国内宣传推广及文化等费用，以及亚组会与亚奥理事会在亚洲及世界范围内共同进行的宣传推广费用。

概算支出是科学的、实事求是的，能够有效保障举办2010年亚运会所必须的各项支出的需要。每项支出中都安排有合理数额的不可预见费用。

可见，如果广州承办亚运会，我们能够确保充足的财力支持。这种保证主要来源政府的大量投入和承诺，来自于我国经济的稳步发展和人民生活水品的提高。
