財政的幻想世界:政治人物何時覺醒?—《經濟學人》懶人包 No. 9345 (2023/05/06)

2023-0506-The-Economist-No9345-Fiscal-fantasyland

本周《經濟學人》的封面故事著眼於各國政府未能正視其財政的嚴峻狀況。根據《經濟學人》估計,到 2030 年,美國的財政赤字每年可能達到國民生產毛額的 7% 左右。

在戰爭和經濟衰退之外,美國從未見過這樣的赤字,而且沒有人提出任何合理的計劃來縮減這些赤字。

其他國家的政府也面臨著類似的壓力,但似乎也是視而不見,所有人都陷入了財政的幻想之中。但是各國必須在災難來臨之前找到一條出路。

    Exploring the blue planet

    File - IMAGE DISTRIBUTED FOR OCEAN CENSUS - Scientists using deep sea submersibles examine the health of coral reefs off the coast of the Maldives in September 2022 as part of a science mission to map, sample and gather data on ocean health which can inform policy makers both in the Maldives and beyond to understand more about what lives in the global ocean and how impacted it is by increased carbon emissions and overfishing. Scientists project coral reefs to decline by a further 70% to 90% by 2030 if global warming reaches1.5 degrees.The broader effort to figure out what is living in the ocean at speed and at scale has been boosted with the announcement by the Nippon Foundation - which works to solve global issues through social innovation-and Nekton - a UK research institute - of the largest programme in history to discover new marine life. The goal of scientists on the programme is to find 100,000 new species in a decade - five times the average annual rate, a figure which has changed little since the mid-1800s. The fear is that entire populations of undiscovered marine life could be lost if the speed of discovery is not significantly accelerated. HANDOUT IMAGE - Please see special instructions.
