　　美国和加拿大敦促欧盟(EU)解决内部政治分歧，并进一步刺激经济。目前各方担心随着地缘政治紧张加剧，金融市场风险增多，欧元区可能拖累全球经济复苏。

　　欧洲央行行长马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)上月敦促各国政府配合央行努力，推出各自的刺激增长措施以重振经济。德拉吉敦促尚有支出余力的成员国——如德国——花掉一部分财政资金，同时要求法国和意大利通过改革劳动力市场来重整经济。

This is just short of a2 per cent target, which ministers claim would add about $2tn to the world economy by 2018.Extra measures are expected to be agreed at a G20 leaders’ summit in November.

　　20国集团(占全球经济总量85%)表示同意一整套结构改革措施，未来5年，这些措施将在当前政策预示的经济轨迹基础上提振集体增长1.8%，仅比2%的目标略低一些，部长们声称至2018年此举将给全球经济增添约2万亿美元。20国集团领导人预计将在11月峰会上同意更多措施。

　　Nonetheless, economists expect the International Monetary Fund to revise down its forecastfor global growth next month. Concerns about the risk of deflation in Europe, weakeninggrowth in China and a potential stalling in Japan’s economic stimulus after a rise inconsumption taxes hung over the gathering in Cairns.

　　不过，经济学家们预计，国际货币基金组织(IMF)下个月会下调对全球经济增长的预测。欧洲面临通缩风险，中国经济增长走弱，日本在消费税上涨后经济刺激效果可能停滞，这些方面的担心笼罩在澳大利亚凯恩斯市举行的20国集团会议上。
