在历史的十字路口，是筑起隔绝的"墙"，还是搭建开放的"桥"？面对经济全球化大势，任何一个国家， 无论大小强弱，一旦背离了潮流大势，终将落后于时代 国际经贸格局正处于深度变革之中。在世界贸易组织成立30周年之际，国际贸易体系呈现出两个突出特 点：一方面，个别国家发起的贸易战、关税战，严重冲击世界经济、损害国际贸易规则；另一方面，各 国面对挑战主动求变，各类区域和多边贸易协定激增。有国际观察人士担忧，全球经贸合作版图正被一 种由地缘政治博弈塑造的"丘陵地貌"所侵蚀。以规则为基础的多边贸易体制，这个曾经的世界经济"稳 定器"，正面临前所未有的考验。 长远看，世界需要一个什么样的经贸秩序？多边贸易体制将何去何从？回答这两个问题，需要以客观理 性的全方位观察为基础，在纷乱形势中把握人心所向、大势所趋，避免一叶障目，才能不断汇聚共识和 力量，推动国际经贸合作行稳致远。 面对危机，各方的"应激反应"有其必然性。过去几十年，经济全球化高速发展已形成各国利益的深度互 嵌——世界经济这片汪洋大海，不会因局部暗礁而改变奔涌方向。正如美国哥伦比亚大学教授杰弗里· 弗里登所指出，单一国家摒弃多边主义并不意味着多边贸易体系终结，只要其他 ...

经合组织发布的报告预计，今明两年全球经济增速分别为3.2%和2.9%，与今年9月预测一致。报告 指出，三方面因素共同支撑全球需求。一是扩张性宏观政策，二是市场对新技术的积极预期，三是人工 智能带动贸易和投资增长。但报告同时发出警告，认为全球经济风险正在累积。具体包括：贸易保护主 义升级可能严重损害全球供应链和产出，人工智能领域资产高估（值）可能突然回调，各国财政脆弱性 可能阻碍经济增长。 报告还提及美国经济面临的风险，如需求承压、通胀顽固、就业市场疲软及巨额赤字。数据显示， 美国涉及加征关税的进口商品总值较非征税进口商品明显下降，说明关税正抑制美国国内需求，预计贸 易量将继续承压。由于就业市场降温、关税抬高消费价格，美国家庭消费增长将继续放缓，通胀可能更 加持久，从而减少降息空间。报告预测，美国经济增速将由2024年的2.8%降至今年的2.0%，明年进一 步放缓至1.7%。 央视网消息：经济合作与发展组织2日发布最新经济展望报告。报告指出，今年全球经济韧性超出 预期，但仍面临贸易壁垒、人工智能泡沫和财政脆弱性等风险。 报告还认为，美国关税对全球经济的影响正逐步显现，并传导至支出、企业成本以及消费价格。经 合组 ...
