What is correct?

However, many problems haven't been overcome: The basic construction investment capital,especially the state credit capital, has been low, the investment demand stimulation measures haven't been done strongly so the effectiveness has been limited, the consumption prices and services have decreased and will be to decrease in next few months.

Hi,

efficiency focuses on doing things well.

effectiveness focuses on producing a desired effect or result. This seems to be the correct word for your paragraph.

In addition to your query, your sentences have other problems as well.

Best wishes, Clive
