The recession in other advanced economies (the euro zone, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand) started in the second quarter of 2008, before the financial turmoil in September and October further aggravated the global credit crunch. This contraction has become even more severe since then.
其他发达经济实体 （欧元区、英国、欧盟、加拿大、日本、澳大利亚及新西兰）从2008年 的第二季度开始衰退，此后发生于9月和10月的金融风暴进一步加剧了全球的信贷萎缩。这种收缩态势自此以后愈演愈烈。
