In practice, the global crisis means that sustainable investments are being curtailed rather than expanded in the developing world. As access to international bank loans, bond flotations, and foreign direct investment is lost, infrastructure projects talked about in the past are now being shelved, threatening the political and economic stability of dozens of developing countries.
实际上，全球经济危机意味着，发展中国家的可持续投资出现缩减，而不是增长。由于这些国家无法得到国际贷款，无法发行公债并得到外国的直接投资，过去谈到的那些基建项目如今年都被搁置下来，这也就让众多的发展中国家的政治与经济稳定受到威胁。
