俄烏戰(zhàn)事恐使今年全球貿(mào)易增長幾近減半

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has dealt a severe blow to the global economy, reducing forecast global trade growth for 2022 from the 4.7 percent predicted last October to between 2.4 percent and 3 percent. The projection, based on a global economic simulation model, was made by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretariat in a note issued on Monday.

According to the same model, the crisis could lower global GDP growth by 0.7-1.3 percentage points, bringing it to somewhere between 3.1 percent and 3.7 percent for 2022.
報告還預測，根據(jù)同一模型，俄烏沖突將使今年全球經(jīng)濟增速下降0.7到1.3個百分點，降至3.1%到3.7%之間。
