Floods in Thailand last year threw 700,000 people out of work and had knock-on economic effects around the world. The Economist reports that American bank JP Morgan has estimated that the disaster set back global industrial production by a surprisingly large 2.5%.
泰国去年的洪灾使700，000的人口失去了工作，对全世界各地的经济都产生了影响。根据《经济学人》的报道，美国银行摩根大通估计这场灾难使全球工业生产量降低了2.5%。这一数字之大，令人咋舌。由于洪灾所带来的经济损失，其增长速度比各个地区的人均GDP增长速度都要快。
