But the overall impact of ODA remains dubious. In a report released last March, the UK’s House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs cited disagreement among experts on the issue, with estimates ranging from a 0.5% boost to annual GDP growth in recipient countries to no effect on growth at all.
但ODA的总体影响仍然值得质疑。在去年3月的一份报告中，英国上议院经济事务委员会援引了专家在这一问题上的分歧——ODA对受助国年GDP增长的提振作用众说纷纭，有人说可达0.5%，有人说根本毫无作用。
