Good times – and these are good times for the global economy – are rarely the moment for concrete initiatives to deal with difficult problems. It is against this backdrop that I find welcome this weekend’s announcement by a group of major economies acknowledging their shared responsibility for the orderly resolution of global imbalances while sustaining robust growth.
现在绝对是全球经济的美好时光，但是美时光很少会使人们真正主动去解决困难的问题。正是在这种背景下我很高兴地看到本周末几大经济体联合作出声明，表示它们在保持经济强劲增长的同时，将共同努力寻求有序解决全球贸易失衡的问题。
