简介
The World Bank is planning to offer extra help to Syria's neighboring countries, who are hosting huge numbers of refugees from the civil war. Our economics correspondent, Andrew Walker, reports. Millions of refugees are now in countries bordering Syria. The largest number is in Turkey. But it's the much smaller economies of Lebanon and Jordan that face far more financial strain. Because they are classified as middle-income countries, the World Bank can't provide grants or cheap loans. Instead, it wants to lend to those countries, while 8 donor nations cover at least part of the interest cost. The World Bank officials said that the idea has been well-received by many potential donors, and he hoped that funds could be paid out in 4 to 6 months.
由于叙利亚内战战火,周边国家大量接收难民,世界银行计划对这些国家提供额外帮助。请听本台经济学记者安德鲁·沃克的报道。目前,数百万难民生活在叙利亚周边国家。其中难民数量最多的国家为土耳其。然而,黎巴嫩和约旦却承担着更大的经济负担。由于他们是中等收入国家,导致世界银行无法向他们进行拨款,或是提供廉价贷款。如果进行贷款,那么八大捐助国则需要至少支付部分借款利息。世界银行官员表示称,该计划得到了许多潜在捐助国的同意,他希望资金能够在4-6个月之内得到支付。
