曼谷，10月13日 - 24国集团主席周二表示，许多发展中经济体的债务脆弱性是包容性增长的“主要障碍”，并警告称，这些国家的政府正日益面临沉重的债务负担。
BANGKOK, Oct 13 - The debt vulnerabilities of many developing economies are a "major barrier" to inclusive growth, the chair of the Group of 24 nations said on Tuesday, warning their governments were increasingly contending with mounting debt burdens.
在曼谷举行的国际货币基金组织和世界银行年会上，泰沃·奥耶德莱对记者表示，估计显示，发展中国家为债务支付的费用比发达国家多出约5000亿美元，因为各国经济正面临财政赤字不断扩大的问题。
Speaking to reporters at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Bangkok, Taiwo Oyedele said estimates showed developing nations were paying roughly $500 billion more for their debt than developed countries, as economies grapple with growing fiscal deficits.
“我们看到，24国集团成员以及特别是非洲等发展中国家的情况是，不仅高债务在增加，债务成本也在上升，”奥耶德莱说，他同时也是尼日利亚财政部长和经济协调部长。
"What we have seen by members of the G24 and across particularly the developing countries such as those in Africa, is an increasing body of not just high debts, but high costs of debts," said Oyedele, who is also Nigeria's minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy.
今年，负债累累的发展中国家面临巨大压力，这源于中东持续战争带来的供应冲击、“超级厄尔尼诺”引发的食品价格上涨以及借贷成本的飙升。
Heavily indebted developing countries have come under immense pressure this year, strained by supply shocks from the ongoing war in the Middle East, rising food prices triggered by a "super El Niño" and surging borrowing costs.
“这些发展影响了新兴市场和发展中经济体实现包容性、就业丰富的经济转型的进展，”奥耶德莱说。
"These developments impact emerging markets and developing economies' progress towards achieving inclusive and job-rich economic transformation," Oyedele said.
争取更大支持 24国集团成员——一个由新兴和发展中市场国家组成的集团——敦促国际货币基金组织和世界银行在短期内向脆弱国家提供更易获得、更负担得起的优惠融资，因为他们正努力动员私人资本并减少公共支出。
PUSH FOR GREATER SUPPORT Members of the G24, a bloc of emerging and developing market nations, urged the IMF and World Bank to provide more accessible and affordable concessional financing to vulnerable countries in the near-term, as they worked to mobilise private capital and reduce public spending.
“债务是制约增长的因素，因为国家随后没有足够的资本来融资进一步增长，或者他们将大部分资源仅用于偿还债务，”24国集团秘书处主任伊亚博·马沙说。
"Debt is something that restrains growth, because countries then do not have enough resources to finance further growth, or they are spending most of their resources just paying off the debt," said Iyabo Masha, director of the G24 secretariat.
然而，她表示，最近对主权债务架构的改进应该有助于各国更快地解决债务危机。
However, she said that recent improvements to the sovereign debt architecture should help countries resolve debt crises more quickly.
引用塞内加尔为例，马沙表示该国与债权人达成最终解决方案的进展“相当接近”。
Citing Senegal as an example, Masha said the country was "quite close" to a final resolution with its creditors.
路透社上周报道称，西非国家塞内加尔计划在今年12月与其官方贷款人和债券持有者达成原则性协议，此举是在两年前出现被误报的债务之后进行的，分析师估计该债务规模为130亿美元。
Reuters reported last week the West African nation was aiming for an agreement in principle with its official lenders and bondholders by December, two years after the emergence of misreported debt that analysts estimated at $13 billion.
除了债务挑战，发展中经济体还面临在人工智能快速普及过程中被甩在后面的风险。
Beyond debt challenges, developing economies also risk being left behind in the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence.
国际货币基金组织周二早些时候下调了今年和明年拉美及加勒比地区的增长预测，称该地区大部分国家从人工智能繁荣中获得的提振甚微，而这种繁荣曾帮助其他经济体吸收了中东战争带来的能源冲击。
The IMF earlier on Tuesday trimmed its growth forecasts for Latin America and the Caribbean for this year and next, saying most of the region was getting little lift from the AI boom that has helped other economies absorb the energy shock from the Middle East war.
“（人工智能）可能会扩大数字鸿沟，”马沙在G24新闻发布会侧边对路透社表示。
"It is a concern that (AI) will widen the digital divide," Masha told Reuters on the sidelines of the G24 press conference.
“尚未达到一定发展水平的国家将从零开始。人工智能的作用，他们目前可能无法从中获益很多。
"For the countries that have not yet reached certain levels of development, they will be starting from scratch. The role of AI, they would not benefit much for now.
“也许如果他们能够良好地获得电力，他们可能有条件进行数据中心投资等等。但如果没有这一点，他们开始受益可能需要一段时间。”
"Maybe if they have good access to electricity, they may be able to have a data centre investment and all that. But without that, it would take a while for them to start benefiting."
