2016年,全球经济依然疲弱,并延续多年以来格局分化的态势。初步估计,全年的经济增速仅为2.5%,创下5年来的新低;国际贸易增速不到2%,亦创下2010年以来的最低增速,一部分经济体甚至呈现下滑态势。外国直接投资大幅下降12.5%,而且主要依靠并购拉动,对实体经济增长的推动作用不大。欧洲和日本等发达经济体央行进一步推行负利率政策,维持量化宽松举措,尽管其政策利率维持在 In 2016, the global economy remained weak and continued its pattern of differentiation over the years. According to preliminary estimates, the economic growth rate for the whole year was only 2.5%, hitting a new low in five years; the growth rate of international trade was less than 2%, and it also set the lowest growth rate since 2010. Some economies even showed a downward trend. Foreign direct investment dropped sharply by 12.5%, and it mainly relied on mergers and acquisitions, which had little effect on the growth of the real economy. The central banks of advanced economies such as Europe and Japan further promoted negative interest rate policies and maintained quantitative easing measures despite maintaining their policy interest rates.
