Europe and the United States are both entering recession, and fears are mounting that the financial meltdown accompanying the sub-prime mortgage debacle has not worked itself out. All this is happening at a time when inflationary pressures hamper the usual monetary and fiscal remedies.
最为直接的威胁是发达国家经济减缓。欧洲和美国都步入衰退，人们越发担心伴随次级房贷危机而来的金融危机还远为结束。所有这些都恰逢通货膨胀压力阻碍正常货币和财政补救措施。欧洲央行紧密关注价格稳定，已经提高了利率。美联储或许也会效仿。因此，发达国家经济将会在一定时间里受到打击，这会影响新型市场出口产品的需求。
