>Global economy contracts sharply
IMF稱全球經(jīng)濟(jì)將萎縮3%

The global economy is on track to contract "sharply" by 3% in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, much worse than during the 2008-09 financial crisis, according to a World Economic Outlook report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday.
國(guó)際貨幣基金組織(IMF)14日發(fā)布的《世界經(jīng)濟(jì)展望報(bào)告》稱，由于新冠肺炎全球大流行，預(yù)計(jì)今年全球經(jīng)濟(jì)將萎縮3%，衰退程度遠(yuǎn)超2008-09年金融危機(jī)期間的經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑。

"The world has changed dramatically in the three months since our last update of World Economic Outlook in January," IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath said at a virtual press conference, noting that the latest projection is 6.3 percentage points lower than the previous estimation.
IMF首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家吉塔·戈皮納特在視頻新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，自1月IMF發(fā)布上一版《世界經(jīng)濟(jì)展望報(bào)告》以來，三個(gè)月內(nèi)全球形勢(shì)急劇變化，最新的世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增速預(yù)測(cè)較1月下調(diào)6.3個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

Calling it the "deepest recession" since the Great Depression of the 1930s, Gopinath said the cumulative global output loss across 2020 and 2021 is expected to reach about $9 trillion, greater than the economies of Japan and Germany combined.
戈皮納特稱，這是自上世紀(jì)30年代大蕭條以來最糟糕的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，2020年和2021年全球可能會(huì)累計(jì)損失約9萬億美元的產(chǎn)出，這一數(shù)字超過了德國(guó)和日本的經(jīng)濟(jì)總量的總和。

美國(guó)停繳世衛(wèi)組織會(huì)費(fèi)

US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday a suspension of US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have deep concerns about whether America's generosity has been put to the best use possible," Trump told reporters, also claiming that "WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet, and share information in a timely and transparent fashion."

The announcement came as Trump is aggressively defending his own handling of the COVID-19 crisis after his administration has been increasingly scrutinized for downplaying the threat from the coronavirus early on and is being faulted for delays in testing.
