The report, which was requested by G-20 leaders at their summit in Seoul last November, found that between 2002 and 2007, the shadow banking system increased by $33 trillion, more than doubling in asset size from $27 trillion to $60 trillion. This is 8.5 times higher than the total US current-account deficit of $3.9 trillion during the same period.
该报告是应去年11月首尔峰会G20领导人要求撰写的，报告指出，在2002—2007年间，影子银行体系增长了33万亿美元，资产规模从27万亿美元提高到了60万亿美元。这是同期美国经常项目赤字总额——3.9万亿美元的8.5倍。
