The Chinese economy is on track to grow by 8.5% in 2021, up 0.6 percentage points from a previous projection, the World Bank Group said in its latest Global Economic Prospects released on Tuesday.

這份半年度報告預(yù)計， 2021年全球經(jīng)濟(jì)增速為5.6%，比之前的預(yù)測高出1.5個百分點，這主要是由于幾個主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體的強(qiáng)勁復(fù)蘇。

Among major economies, US growth is projected to reach 6.8% this year, reflecting large-scale fiscal support and the easing of pandemic restrictions, according to the report.
主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體中，預(yù)計美國今年增長將達(dá)到6.8%，反映出大規(guī)模財政支持和放松防疫限制措施的影響。

盡管出現(xiàn)復(fù)蘇，但到今年年底全球產(chǎn)出將比疫情前預(yù)測低2%左右。
