"The danger of stagflation is considerable today," World Bank President David Malpass wrote in the foreword to the report. "Subdued growth will likely persist throughout the decade because of weak investment in most of the world. With inflation now running at multi-decade highs in many countries and supply expected to grow slowly, there is a risk that inflation will remain higher for longer."

世界银行行长戴维·马尔帕斯在报告前言中写道:“目前滞胀的危险相当大。” 他说:“由于世界大部分地区投资疲软，经济增长疲软可能会持续整个10年。 由于许多国家的通胀目前处于几十年来的高点，供应预计将缓慢增长，通胀有可能在更长时间内保持在较高水平。”
