Abstract: The current economic policy is to expand domestic demand and implement economic structural adjustment for improving economic growth. Therefore, it is very important for China to study its saving rate, especially corporate saving rate, which is the base of domestic demand. This paper redefines the corporate saving rate, based on about 189 million firms in the database of bureau of statistics, and analyses the corporate saving rate from 1996 to 2007. We conclude that: (1) Chinese corporate saving rate (as a share of value added) is 0287 in 12 years, and is still at a high level and increases with years; (2) Chinese corporate saving rate is always higher than that of developed countries, but high corporate saving rate has become a global trend and not a unique phenomenon in China; (3) saving rate in private firms maintaining a high level of growth, is approximately 023, much lower than that of stateowned and foreign firms, whose saving rate declines in recently years; (4) Chinese corporate saving rate has obvious industry characteristics. Corporate savings rate of traditional laborintensive industries is relatively low, and capitalintensive industry is high.
