At the height of the global crisis in 2009, many low-income countries experienced a slowdown in growth marked by falling exports, lower remittances from expatriate workers, and subdued foreign investment. The social consequences were severe: the World Bank estimates that an additional 64&nbsp;million people were left in extreme poverty by the end of 2010.
2009年全球危机处于顶峰时，许多低收入国家经历了因出口下降、侨民寄回外汇减少以及外国投资出逃所造成的增长减速。这造成了严重的社会后果：世界银行估计，到2010年底，世界极端贫困人口数量增加了6400万。
