Global economy on track for worst half-decade of growth in 30 years, says World Bank
世行：全球经济面临30年来最差的五年增长
Multilateral lender warns of potential for decade of ‘wasted opportunity’
世界银行预测，今年全球经济增长将连续第三年放缓，“若没有重大方向调整，2020年代将成为浪费机会的十年。”
The global economy is on track for its worst half-decade of growth in 30 years, the World Bank has warned in its latest projections for 2024, as higher borrowing costs and geopolitical tensions weigh on output.
世界银行(World Bank)在其对2024年的最新预测中警告称，全球经济将录得30年来最糟糕的五年增长。借款成本上升和地缘政治紧张拖累了产出。
In forecasts published on Tuesday, the multilateral organisation said gross domestic product in the world economy was set to expand just 2.4 per cent in 2024 — down from 2.6 per cent last year. If the predictions are accurate, it would mark the third year in a row where growth would prove weaker than the previous 12 months.
该多边组织在周二发布的预测中表示，2024年世界经济的国内生产总值(GDP)将仅增长2.4%，低于去年的2.6%。如果这些预测准确，那将标志着世界经济增长连续第三年放缓。
“Without a major course correction, the 2020s will go down as a decade of wasted opportunity,” said Indermit Gill, the World Bank’s chief economist and senior vice-president.
“若没有重大方向调整，2020年代将作为浪费机会的十年载入史册，”世行首席经济学家兼高级副行长英德米特•吉尔(Indermit Gill)表示。
