en-us	Opening Remarks by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva at Joint Press Conference with World Bank Group President David Malpass on the Coronavirus Response 
zh-cn	国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜 • 格奥尔基耶娃在与世界银行集团行长戴维 • 马尔帕斯共同举行的关于冠状病毒应对措施联合新闻发布会上的开幕辞 

en-us	Good morning! David Malpass and I got an early start today with a 7 am conference call of the IMFC—the IMF's governing body representing our 189 member states. 
zh-cn	早上好！戴维·马尔帕斯和我今天早上七点与国际货币与金融委员会（代表我们189个成员国的管理实体）举行了电话会议。 

en-us	Before I go any further, let me express my deepest sympathies for all the suffering that the outbreak is causing. 
zh-cn	在阐述以下内容之前，我想向所有因疫情遭受痛苦的人表示深切同情。 

en-us	We all recognize that the situation with the spread of the coronavirus is very serious and could well get worse. 
zh-cn	我们都认识到，冠状病毒传播形势很严峻，很可能进一步恶化。

en-us	This affects us all. 
zh-cn	这会影响我们所有人。 

en-us	I will start by setting out why I felt it was necessary to have this call: 
zh-cn	我首先想说明，为什么我认为有必要举行这次电话会议： 

en-us	First, to place our scenarios about the potential impact on the global economy in the context of what we know and what we don’t yet know about the coronavirus; 
zh-cn	第一，根据我们对冠状病毒已经了解和尚未了解的情况，分析有关全球经济可能受到潜在影响的情景； 

en-us	Second, to concentrate on a framework for how to think about the shock and how we – the membership, the Fund, and other global institutions – can support those affected by this crisis in an effective and coordinated way; and 
zh-cn	第二，侧重于通过一个框架理解这一冲击，并分析我们（成员国、国际货币基金组织和其他全球机构）如何以有效和协调一致的方式向受本次危机影响的各方提供支持； 

en-us	Third, in that spirit of cooperation to learn from each other, especially from those most exposed to the outbreak. 
zh-cn	第三，本着这种合作精神，相互学习，特别是向那些处于疫情前沿的国家学习。 

en-us	What We Know 
zh-cn	我们已经了解什么 

en-us	We know that the disease is spreading quickly. 
zh-cn	我们知道，这一疾病在迅速传播。

en-us	With over one-third of our membership affected directly, this is no longer a regional issue – it is a global problem calling for a global response. 
zh-cn	我们三分之一以上的成员国受到直接影响，因此，这不再是地区性问题——而是全球性问题，需要全球对策。 

en-us	We also know that it will eventually retreat, but we don’t know how fast this will happen. 
zh-cn	我们还知道，疫情最终将消退，但我们不知道这个过程会有多快。 

en-us	We know that this shock is somewhat unusual as it affects significant elements of both supply and demand: 
zh-cn	我们知道，这次冲击有些不寻常，因为它对供给和需求的重要因素同时产生影响。 

en-us	Supply will be disrupted due to morbidity and mortality, but also the containment efforts that restrict mobility and higher costs of doing business due to restricted supply chains and a tightening of credit. 
zh-cn	由于发病率和死亡率，供给会受到破坏，但限制人员流动的疫情控制措施，以及供给链受限和信贷收紧造成的营商成本上升也会破坏供给。 

en-us	Demand will also fall due to higher uncertainty, increased precautionary behavior, containment efforts, and rising financial costs that reduce the ability to spend. 
zh-cn	需求也会下降，原因包括不确定性上升、预防行为增多、疫情控制措施，以及资金成本增加导致支出能力下降。 

en-us	These effects will spill over across borders. 
zh-cn	这些效应会跨境扩散。 

en-us	Experience suggests that about one-third of the economic losses from the disease will be direct costs: from loss of life, workplace closures, and quarantines. 
zh-cn	经验显示，疾病造成的经济损失约有三分之一是直接成本：失去生命、关闭工作场所和检疫隔离带来的成本。

en-us	The remaining two-thirds will be indirect, reflecting a retrenchment in consumer confidence and business behavior and a tightening in financial markets. 
zh-cn	剩下的三分之二将是间接成本，反映了消费者信心的下降、商业活动的收缩以及金融市场的收紧。 

en-us	The good news is that financial systems are more resilient than before the Global Financial Crisis. 
zh-cn	好消息是，当前的金融体系比全球金融危机之前更有韧性。

en-us	However, our biggest challenge right now is handling uncertainty. 
zh-cn	然而，我们现在面临的最大挑战是应对不确定性。 

en-us	Under any scenario, global growth in 2020 will drop below last year’s level. How far it will fall, and for how long, is difficult to predict, and would depend on the epidemic, but also on the timeliness and effectiveness of our actions. 
zh-cn	不论出现哪种情景，2020年的全球增长率都将低于去年的水平：很难预测降幅会有多大以及持续时间会有多长，这取决于疫情，也取决于我们行动的及时性和有效性。  

en-us	This is particularly challenging for countries with weaker health systems and response capacity—calling for a global coordination mechanism to accelerate the recovery of demand and supply. 
zh-cn	对于卫生系统和应对能力更为薄弱的国家，这尤其具有挑战性——需要具备全球协调机制，加快恢复需求和供给。 

en-us	How to Respond at the Member Level 
zh-cn	在成员国层面如何应对 

en-us	The number one priority in terms of fiscal response is ensuring front-line health-related spending to protect people’s wellbeing, take care of the sick, and slow the spread of the virus. 
zh-cn	财政应对政策的首要任务是确保一线卫生支出，保护人民安康，救治病人，并减缓病毒传播速度。

en-us	I can’t emphasize enough the urgency of stepping up health-related measures—and the need to ensure the production of medical supplies so that supply is at par with demand. 
zh-cn	加大卫生措施力度的紧迫性再怎么强调也不为过——需要保证医疗用品生产，使供给能够满足需求。 

en-us	Second, macro-financial policy actions may be required to tackle the supply and demand shocks that I mentioned above. 
zh-cn	第二，可能需要采取宏观金融政策行动，应对我上面提到的供给和需求冲击。

en-us	The aim should be to stress “no regret” actions that shorten and soften the economic impact. 
zh-cn	目标应是采取“无悔”行动，缩短和减缓经济所受的影响。 

en-us	They should be timely and targeted to the sectors, businesses and households hardest hit. 
zh-cn	有关措施应当及时实施，针对受冲击最严重的部门、企业和家庭。 

en-us	A generalized weakening in demand through confidence and spillover channels—including trade and tourism, commodity prices, and tighter financial conditions—would call for an additional policy response to support demand and ensure an adequate supply of credit. 
zh-cn	对于信心和溢出效应渠道（包括贸易和旅游、大宗商品价格和金融状况收紧）产生的需求普遍减弱，需要采取额外的应对政策，以支持需求，确保充足的信贷供给。  

en-us	Third, adequate liquidity will also be needed to offset financial stability risks. 
zh-cn	第三，还需要保证充足的流动性，以抵消金融稳定风险。 

en-us	In short: the situation is evolving rapidly and we should stand ready to provide a more forceful, coordinated response if conditions require it. 
zh-cn	简言之，形势在快速变化，我们应随时准备在必要时采取更加有力、协调的应对行动。

en-us	Along these lines, I welcome the statement from the G7 yesterday that they are ready to cooperate further on timely and effective measures. 
zh-cn	为此，我欢迎七国集团昨天发表的声明，即做好准备就采取及时和有效的措施进一步开展合作。 

en-us	How the Fund Can Help 
zh-cn	国际货币基金组织能如何提供帮助 

en-us	For our part, the Fund is ready to help its membership. 
zh-cn	国际货币基金组织随时准备为成员国提供帮助。 

en-us	There are many members at risk, including those with weak health systems, inadequate policy space, commodity exporters exposed to terms-of-trade shocks, and others that are particularly vulnerable to spillovers. 
zh-cn	许多成员国面临风险，包括卫生系统薄弱、政策空间不足的国家，面对贸易条件冲击的大宗商品出口国，以及其他一些特别容易受到溢出效应影响的国家。 

en-us	I am particularly concerned about our low-income and more vulnerable members – these countries may see financing needs rise rapidly as the economic and human cost of the virus escalates. 
zh-cn	我特别关注低收入和更为脆弱的成员国—— 随着病毒带来的经济和人员成本不断增加，这些国家的融资需求可能迅速上升。 

en-us	Our staff are currently working on identifying vulnerable countries and estimating potential financing needs should the situation deteriorate further. 
zh-cn	我们的工作人员目前正在识别脆弱国家，并估计形势进一步恶化情况下的潜在融资需求。 

en-us	The Fund has resources available to support the membership: 
zh-cn	国际货币基金组织具备用于支持成员国的资源： 

en-us	Thanks to the generosity of our shareholders, we have about $1 trillion in overall lending capacity. 
zh-cn	在股东的慷慨出资下，我们的总体贷款能力约为1万亿美元。 

en-us	For low-income countries, we have rapid-disbursing emergency financing of up to $10 billion (50 percent of quota of eligible members) that can be accessed without a full-fledged IMF program. 
zh-cn	对于低收入国家，我们具备多达100亿美元的快速拨付紧急融资（合格成员国份额的50%），这些国家可以在不实施全面的国际货币基金组织规划情况下利用这些资金。 

en-us	Other members can access emergency financing through the Rapid Financing Instrument. 
zh-cn	其他成员国可以通过快速融资工具获得紧急融资。

en-us	This facility could provide about $40 billion for emerging markets that could potentially approach us for financial support. 
zh-cn	对于可能向我们寻求资金支持的新兴市场，这一机制可以提供约 400亿美元。 

en-us	We also have the Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust – the CCRT – which provides eligible countries with up-front grants for relief on IMF debt service falling due. 
zh-cn	我们还具备控灾减灾信托（CCRT），向符合条件国家提供前期赠款，用于减免它们对国际货币基金组织的到期债务。

en-us	The CCRT proved to be effective during the 2014 Ebola outbreak, but is now underfunded with just over $200 million available against possible needs of over $1 billion. 
zh-cn	CCRT在2014年埃博拉疫情中被证明是有效的，但目前资金不足，仅有略高于2亿美元，而潜在需求为10亿美元。

en-us	I called on member countries to help ensure that this facility is fully re-charged and ready for the current crisis. 
zh-cn	我呼吁成员国协助确保这一机制得到充足的资金补充，以便应对当前的危机。  

en-us	In Short 
zh-cn	总结 

en-us	Our united message to the public is: 
zh-cn	我们对公众的统一讯息是： 

en-us	The Fund is fully committed to supporting our member countries, particularly the most vulnerable; 
zh-cn	国际货币基金组织坚定地致力于向成员国特别是最脆弱的国家提供支持； 

en-us	We have the tools to help; and 
zh-cn	我们具备提供帮助的工具； 

en-us	We are coordinating closely with our partner institutions.
zh-cn	我们正在与伙伴机构密切协调。
