Abstract

Stimulating the people’s consumption needs and adopting positive financial policies are the basic guarantee of the sustained development of our national economy. This essay mainly analyzes the effects of stimulating the sports consumption on the expansion of domestic needs and economic growth. Owing to the close relationship of sports with other industries, the increased consumption in sports will in turn lead to the development of many relevant industries. Also, the stimulation of economic growth from sports consumption is subject to little influence of the whole economic environment. Finally, the sports consumption generally tends to increase with the change of the people’s life consumption structure. All these indicate that the positive influences of stimulating sports consumption and economic growth can be predicted. But as far as the present state of our sports consumption is concerned, it is impractical to anticipate a great contribution of sports consumption to our economic growth in a short time. The article proposes that we should have an objective evaluation of the function of our present sports consumption.
