英文摘要 |
The past year has seen the global economy well on its way to recovery, albeit with emerging economies posting stronger growth than developed ones. Yet differences among countries in terms of fiscal and monetary policies have made it difficult to expand international cooperation, economic growth has had little effect on labor markets, and advanced nations are still suffering from high unemployment rates. Moreover, international grain prices have continued to rise since October 2010, and any further increases could drive over forty million more people around the world into poverty. The most vulnerable are those who live in low- and middle-income countries, many of which are partners to Taiwan. The remaining obstacles to global economic growth and imbalances in regional development indicate that promoting balanced, sustainable development must therefore be the priority for our international development assistance. |
