根据从各国政府、中央银行和世界62个经济公共部门收集的资料,日本贸易振兴会预测,工业国与亚洲的年增长今年将放慢,而许多发展中国家可期望有良好的经济表现。根据这些数据,日本贸易振兴会认为,国际货币基金组织在去年10月的一份报告书中,对1996年全球经济增长的预测过于乐观。报告书预测,今年全球经济将增长4.1％,超过去年的3.7％。 Based on information collected from Governments, central banks and the 62 economic public sectors in the world, JETRO predicts that the annual growth in the industrialized countries and in Asia will slow this year and that many developing countries may expect good economic performance. Based on these data, JETRO believes that in a report released in October last year, the IMF was overly optimistic about the global economic growth in 1996. The report predicts that the global economy will grow by 4.1% this year, up from 3.7% last year.
