4. 阿莫亚科先生指出 虽然世界其他地区贫穷情况有所减少 但是在非洲却日益增加 他还说 为了在2015 年之前实现将贫穷减半的国际公认目标 非洲必须每年增长 8%左右 使过去五年所取得的速度加倍为了实现这项目标 投资与国内生产总值的比例将需要增加,从目前的 19%增加到至少 25% 鉴于非洲经济的状况 它们不太可能从本国来源获得资源来实现这项目标
4. Mr. Amoako noted that while poverty was declining in other parts of the world, it was growing in Africa. He added that in order to achieve the internationally accepted target of halving poverty by 2015, Africa needed to grow by about 8 per cent per year, double the rate attained in the last five years. In order to achieve this, the ratio of investment to gross domestic product (GDP) would have to rise from the current level of 19 per cent to a minimum of 25 per cent, and given the state of African economies it was unlikely that they could find the resources to meet this target from domestic sources.
