World economy to shrink 5.2%
今年全球經濟或下滑5.2%

The coronavirus will cause global economic output to contract by 5.2% in 2020, the World Bank said on Monday, warning its latest forecasts would be revised downward if uncertainty persists over the pandemic and business lockdowns.
世界銀行6月8日表示，新冠病毒將導致2020年全球經濟產出萎縮5.2%，並警告稱，如果大流行和企業停擺的不確定性持續存在，將下調這一最新預測。

In its latest Global Economic Prospects report, the World Bank said advanced economies are expected to shrink 7% in 2020, while emerging market economies will contract 2.5%, their first since aggregate data became available in 1960.
世界銀行在其最新發布的《全球經濟展望》報告中表示，發達經濟體2020年產出預計將萎縮7%，而新興市場經濟體將萎縮2.5%，爲自1960年有彙總數據以來首次萎縮。

On a per-capita GDP basis, the global contraction will be the deepest since 1945-46, as World War II spending dried up.
全球人均國內生產總值將創自1945-46年以來最嚴重萎縮，當時二戰時期的支出枯竭。

The report noted the downturn is hitting hardest in countries where the coronavirus epidemic has been the most severe and where there is heavy reliance on global trade, tourism, commodity exports and external financing.
報告指出，遭受經濟打擊最爲嚴重的是那些受新冠病毒疫情影響最嚴重的國家，以及極度依賴全球貿易、旅遊、商品出口和外部融資的國家。

The report also showed 2020 contractions of 6.1% for the US and Japan, a 9.1% contraction for the Eurozone, 8% for Brazil and 3.2% for India. China is expected to maintain growth of 1% in 2020.
報告還顯示，2020年美國和日本的經濟預計將縮減6.1%，歐元區萎縮9.1%，巴西和印度分別收縮8%和3.2%。預計中國2020年將保持1%的增長。
