en-us	 WASHINGTON, April 17, 2020—World Bank Group President Malpass today delivered the following remarks at the Development Committee virtual meeting: 
zh-cn	2020年4月17日，华盛顿：世界银行集团戴维·马尔帕斯今天在发展委员会虚拟会议上发表了以下讲话： 

en-us	“Thank you very much, Chair.  
zh-cn	感谢主席先生。

en-us	Good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone around the world, and welcome to the Spring 2020 Plenary of the Development Committee. 
zh-cn	在世界各地的各位，早上好，下午好，晚上好，欢迎出席发展委员会2020年春季全体会议。 

en-us	A year ago, I was privileged to attend the Development Committee Plenary for the first time as President of the World Bank Group. 
zh-cn	一年前，我荣幸地首次作为世界银行集团行长出席了发展委员会全体会议。

en-us	And, six months ago, during our Annual Meetings, we celebrated our 100th Development Committee meeting. 
zh-cn	6个月前，在年会期间，我们庆祝了第100次发展委员会会议的召开。 

en-us	We face a very different and more challenging environment today. 
zh-cn	今天，我们面临大为不同和更具挑战性的环境。

en-us	This is an unprecedented crisis, with devastating health, economic and social effects felt around the world. 
zh-cn	这是一场前所未有的危机，对健康、经济和社会的破坏性影响在全世界都能感觉到。 

en-us	I want to start by saying that I hope you and your families are healthy and coping well in these challenging times. 
zh-cn	我首先要说，我希望各位及各位的家人都很健康，很好地应对这一具有挑战性的时期。

en-us	I also want to express my deepest condolences to the millions of people in countries around the world who are suffering from COVID-19 or who have lost a loved one to the pandemic. 
zh-cn	我也想对世界各国饱受新冠疫情之苦或者在大流行中失去亲人的很多人表示最深切的慰问。 

en-us	Beyond the health impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are expecting a major global recession. 
zh-cn	除了新冠肺炎大流行带来的健康影响外，我们预计会出现严重的全球经济衰退。

en-us	Our estimates suggest a much deeper global downturn than the Great Recession, given the declines in production, investment, employment and trade.  
zh-cn	考虑到生产、投资、就业和贸易下滑情况，我们的估计是远比“大衰退”更深层的全球经济衰退。 

en-us	And while the tragic impacts of this pandemic are being felt globally, this crisis will likely hit the poorest and most vulnerable countries – and people – the hardest. 
zh-cn	虽然这场大流行的严重影响全球都能感觉到，但这场危机可能对最贫困最弱势国家及其人民的打击最大。

en-us	IDA countries, which are home to two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor, will be severely affected. 
zh-cn	IDA国家占全球极端贫困人口的三分之二，将受到严重影响。 

en-us	Amid what is, candidly, a grim outlook, I welcome this opportunity for an open discussion on our best development response. 
zh-cn	坦率地说，在这种黯淡的前景中，我欢迎有此机会公开讨论我们的最佳发展对策。

en-us	I’m going to describe what the World Bank Group has done so far, but it’s clear that it won’t be enough.  
zh-cn	我下面介绍一下世界银行集团迄今为止所做的事情，但显而易见是不够的。

en-us	If we don’t move quickly to strengthen systems and resilience, the development gains of recent years can easily be lost.  
zh-cn	如果我们不尽快行动起来加强系统和韧性，近年来的发展成果很容易就会丧失。

en-us	I invite you to let your written statements speak for themselves and to comment openly and respond to what others have said. 
zh-cn	我邀请各位抛开发言稿，开诚布公地评论和响应其他人的发言。 

en-us	I’m happy to be joined by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, who was a great partner for me during my first months at the World Bank and is an even more effective partner now as the Fund’s Managing Director. 
zh-cn	我很高兴基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃加入我一起，在我到世行任职的头几个月里，她是我出色的合作伙伴，现在作为基金组织总裁，她成为更加有效的合作伙伴。

en-us	Kristalina has navigated these challenging times with grace, enthusiasm, and expertise.

en-us	With existing resources, fully leveraged and front loaded, we are able to provide $160 billion of financing over the next 15 months. 
zh-cn	利用现有资源，充分撬动和前期加重，我们能够在未来15个月提供1600亿美元的融资。

en-us	IDA will provide $50 billion of that total on grant and highly concessional credit terms. 
zh-cn	IDA将以赠款和非常优惠的信贷条件提供其中的500亿美元。 

en-us	Our program is based on three pillars: 
zh-cn	我们的计划基于三个支柱： 

en-us	protect the poorest and most vulnerable households; 
zh-cn	保护最贫困最弱势的家庭； 

en-us	support businesses and save jobs, which IFC and MIGA are working with private sector clients to do by supporting trade and working capital lines; and

en-us	In order to act efficiently and achieve impact at scale, we invite parallel and co-financing and the use of World Bank-facilitated joint procurement of medical equipment and supplies. 
zh-cn	为了高效率地行动和实现规模化影响，我们邀请进行平行和联合融资，利用世行便利化联合采购流程采购医疗设备和物资。 

en-us	With the recently concluded IBRD and IFC capital increases and the IDA19 replenishment, we are now better positioned to support our members with the initial response to COVID-19. 
zh-cn	有了最近完成的IBRD和IFC增资以及IDA19增资，我们现在有更好的条件支持成员国的新冠疫情初期应对。

en-us	I thank you for this and invite your early subscriptions.

en-us	I’m pleased to announce that the Resolutions for the IFC capital increase have now met the majority requirements and were adopted yesterday.

en-us	Debt Initiative: International Call for Action in Support of IDA Countries 
zh-cn	减债倡议：支持IDA国家的全球行动呼吁 

en-us	Let me now turn to the debt initiative. 
zh-cn	请允许我现在来讲一下减债倡议。

en-us	Kristalina and I championed a moratorium and strongly welcome the G20 announcement on Wednesday that official bilateral creditors will allow the IDA countries that request forbearance to suspend repayment starting on May 1. 
zh-cn	克里斯塔利娜和我发起了一个备忘录，并非常欢迎周三二十国集团关于官方双边债权人允许要求宽限的IDA国家从5月1日起暂停偿还债务的宣布。 

en-us	This is a huge achievement, and I commend all involved. 
zh-cn	这是一项巨大的成就，我对所有参与方表示赞赏。 

en-us	The commercial creditors of governments need to support sovereign debt reduction efforts too — not free ride. 
zh-cn	政府的商业债权人也需要支持减免主权债务的努力，不是搭便车。

en-us	We will expect IDA governments to seek comparable terms from their commercial creditors 
zh-cn	我们期待IDA国家的政府向其商业债权人寻求同等条件。 

en-us	The World Bank will be providing massively scaled up and frontloaded positive net transfers to IDA countries on highly concessional terms, and the IMF has its own highly impactful initiatives. 
zh-cn	世界银行将以非常优惠的条件向IDA国家提供大规模和前期加重的正净转移支付，基金组织也有自己很有影响力的举措。 

en-us	We are asked by the G20 to look at ways to extend the World Bank’s support even further – and, with your agreement, we will do that expeditiously. 
zh-cn	我们应二十国集团的要求研究进一步扩大世行支持的途径，在各位同意的情况下，我们将加快这项工作。

en-us	In doing so, we need to protect the World Bank’s financial capacity to provide sustained high levels of positive net flows. 
zh-cn	为此目的，我们需要保护世行的财力，以提供持续高水平的正净资金流量。

en-us	You may know that the official name of the Development Committee is “the Joint Ministerial Committee on the Transfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries.” 
zh-cn	你们可能知道，发展委员会的官方名称是“向发展中国家转移实际资源联合部长级委员会”。

en-us	It’s imperative that we maintain IBRD’s and IDA’s financial capacity, credit rating and low cost of funding so as to be able to continue to transfer real resources to developing countries effectively and at scale.     
zh-cn	维持IBRD和IDA的财力、信用等级和较低的资金成本是必要的，这样才能继续向发展中国家有效和大规模地转移实际资源。 

en-us	Debt relief is a powerful, fast-acting measure that can bring real benefits to the people in poor countries.

zh-cn	这种广泛的债务和投资透明度是发展和危机后复苏的一个高度优先的问题，在新冠疫情背景下和长期低利率环境中尤为紧迫。

zh-cn	建立透明度原则至关重要，有助扭转发展中国家的大量资金外流，使投资更加卓有成效。

en-us	Many difficult steps are needed to provide debt transparency and improve the quality of investment. To name just five:
