As a result, the differential between growth in the emerging and advanced economies – aggregated from IMF data, and including Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan in the emerging group – has declined considerably. Indeed, after averaging three percentage points for two decades and rising to 4.8 percentage points in 2010, the percentage-point differential fell to 2.5 last year and is expected to amount to just 1.5 this year.
与此同时，发达经济体正在从2008年的危机小心翼翼地复苏。结果，新兴和发达经济体之间的增长差异——据IMF数据加总，香港、新加坡、韩国和台湾被归为新兴经济体组——显著收缩。事实上，二十年来，这一差异平均值为三个百分点，2010年上升到4.8个百分点，去年下降到2.5个百分点，今年预计将继续下降到1.5个百分点。
