In recent years, mounting domestic political pressure has driven Western governments to adopt increasingly insular policies. And, just a few weeks ago, the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) acted to bolster a currency-reserve pool to help ease short-term liquidity pressures and to establish their own development bank – a direct challenge to the IMF and the World Bank.
近几年来，日益增加的国内政治压力促使西方政府采取日益孤立的政策。而就在数周前，金砖国家（巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南非）采取行动，建立货币储备池以缓解短期流动性压力并建立其自身的开发银行——这是对IMF和世界银行的直接挑战。
