IMF：中国将是主要经济体中今年唯一正增长国家

The global economy is now projected to contract by 4.4% in 2020 — an upward revision from an estimate of -4.9% made in June (which has now also been revised to -5.2% due to a new methodology used by the IMF). The IMF’s forecast assumes that social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic will continue into 2021, and that local transmission will fall everywhere by the end of 2022.

根据国际货币基金组织的预测，全球经济在2020年将萎缩4.4%，高于6月份下降4.9%的预测（由于国际货币基金组织采用新方法，该数据被修正为下降5.2%)。国际货币基金组织的预测认为，新冠疫情造成的社交隔离措施将持续到2021年，到2022年年底，全球各地的社区传播都将减少。

Among major economies, only China is expected to expand in 2020. The IMF believes the country, which battled Covid-19 earlier than the rest of the world and was quickly able to move out of lockdown due to strict containment measures, will grow by 1.9%.

在主要经济体中，只有中国有望在2020年实现经济增长。国际货币基金组织预计今年中国经济增长将达到1.9%。中国比世界其他国家更早抗击新冠肺炎疫情，由于采取了严格的管控措施，迅速走出了封锁状态。
