That economy is still expanding, but at a rate – 4.7% annually in the latest quarter – that is disappointing in terms both of previous expectations and of population growth. The same can be said of Turkey, where growth has sagged to 2.3% in the latest quarter – which at least beats population growth but is meager compared with the country’s go-go years of 2010 and 2011, when it expanded by 9%.
再看看印度尼西亚。印尼经济仍在扩张，但增长率——上季度年化增长率4.7%——与此前的预期和人口增长率相比相当令人失望。土耳其也是如此，上季度增长率下降至2.3%——总算胜过了人口增长率，但与2010年和2011年的突飞猛进（增长率高达9%）相比显得相当疲软。南非亦然，其经济进步一直过于缓慢，不管是在黄金和其他资源的繁荣期还是萧条期，减贫方面也几无进展。
