The recovery from the shock of Covid-19 was quicker and stronger than anybody expected a year-and-a-half ago. This we owe to a big scientific and organisational achievement: the development and mass production of effective vaccines. A depressingly large proportion of humanity is suspicious of this modern miracle. Yet this success and the recovery it has brought with it are not unalloyed joys: they bring new anxieties and challenges. That is the best way to read the latest World Economic Outlook and Global Financial Stability Report from the IMF.
從新冠疫情衝擊中復甦的速度和力度超過了任何人在一年半前的預期。這要歸功於一項重大的科學和組織成就：有效疫苗的開發和大規模生產。令人沮喪的是，人類中有很大一部分人對這一現代奇蹟持懷疑態度。然而，這種成功及其帶來的復甦並非純粹的樂事：它們帶來了新的焦慮和挑戰。這是解讀國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)最新的《世界經濟展望》(World Economic Outlook)和《全球金融穩定報告》(Global Financial Stability Report)的最佳方式。
