"世界銀行修正中國成長預測"

全球經濟成長預測遭砍。

世界銀行下修了對中國經濟成長的預測。此金融機構上週聲明表示，他們現在預期成長約在7.7%左右，比原先預測的8.4%要來得低。下修的原因來自萎靡的全球狀況──全球成長由2.4% 下修至2.2%──另外，也受到中國試圖重整經濟的影響。

中國的經濟成長多年來都由出口帶動，但由於全球需求下滑，中國政府正嘗試推動內需增長。世界銀行的專家表示，嘗試改變中國經濟方向將導致短期的成長衰減。

世界銀行首席經濟學家巴蘇在談到全球經濟問題時表示：「雖然金融產業出現些許希望曙光，但在現實經濟中，緩慢的成長則是不尋常地冗長。這情形反映在工業化國家居高不下的失業率上，另外歐元區失業率上升，而新興經濟體則是成長緩慢。」

(Business) World Bank Revises China Growth Forecast

Predictions for global growth have also been cut.

The World Bank has cut its prediction for growth in the Chinese economy. The financial body stated last week that it now expects growth of 7.7% this year, down from the previous forecast of 8.4%. It said the reasons for the revision were poor global conditions V the prediction for international growth was cut from 2.4% to 2.2% V and the effects of Chinas attempts to restructure its economy.

Chinese economic growth has been driven for years by exports, but with global demand now falling, the national government is trying to boost internal demand. Experts at the World Bank have said that attempts to alter the course of Chinas economy will cause a short-term reduction in growth.

Speaking about global economic concerns, World Bank chief economist Kaushik Basu said: While there are markers of hope in the financial sector, the slowdown in the real economy is turning out to be unusually protracted. This is reflected in the stubbornly high unemployment in industrialized nations, with unemployment in the eurozone actually rising, and in the slowing growth in emerging economies.
