A UN report has revised world economic growth projections as a result of robust rebounds in China and the US, but warned against fragilities in other economies in the context of COVID-19. In its mid-year update of the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2021, which was released on Tuesday, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) now predicts the world economy will grow 5.4% in 2021, instead of the 4.7% forecast in January.
联合国经济和社会事务部5月11日发布《2021年世界经济形势与展望》年中更新报告。报告说，鉴于中国和美国经济复苏势头强劲，将2021年世界经济增长预期从1月份预测的4.7%上调至5.4%。但报告提醒称，鉴于新冠疫情尚未结束，其余地区经济形势依旧严峻。
The department revised its forecast for China from 7.2% to 8.2%; and for the US from 3.4% to 6.2% for 2021.
报告将2021年中国经济增长预期从年初预测的7.2%上调至8.2%，将美国经济增长预期从3.4%上调至6.2%。
The pandemic is far from over for a majority of countries.
报告认为，对大多数国家来说，疫情远未结束。
For many developing countries, economic output is only projected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 or 2023, according to the report.
许多发展中国家的经济产出要到2022年或2023年才能恢复到疫情前水平。
While the global growth outlook has improved, surging COVID-19 infections and inadequate vaccination progress in many countries threaten a broad-based recovery of the world economy, warned the report.
报告警告称，尽管全球增长前景有所改善，但许多国家新冠感染率飙升且疫苗接种进展缓慢，威胁着世界经济的广泛复苏。
