自2007年8月美国次级住房抵押贷款市场危机全面爆发以来,美国房地产市场低迷,美元加速贬值,国际金融市场动荡,世界油价迅速攀升,这些都引发人们对美国经济将陷入衰退、进而拖累全球经济明显失速的担忧。从2007年全年走势观察,世界经济总体运行态势依旧良好,继续延续着过去几年强劲增长的势头,欧元区和日本经济正处于经济上升阶段,新兴市场和发展中国家经济维持强劲增长,这在很大程度上缓解了美国经济减速造成的影响。 Since the crisis broke out in the U.S. subprime mortgage market in August 2007, the downturn in the U.S. real estate market, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, the turmoil in international financial markets and the rapid rise in world oil prices have all contributed to the recession in the U.S. economy and further to the global Concerns about a marked economic slowdown. From the observation of the whole year of 2007, the general operation of the world economy is still sound, continuing the momentum of strong growth in the past few years. The economy of the Euro-zone and Japan are in an economic upward phase, and the economies of emerging markets and developing countries maintain their strong growth. To a large extent, the impact of the slowdown in the U.S. economy has been eased.
