In a paper for next Saturday's meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors, the World Bank said its forecasts show the world's economic growth will be at least 5 percentage points below potential. Global industrial production by the middle of 2009 could be as much as 15% lower than 2008 levels.
World trade is on track in 2009 to record its largest decline in 80 years, with the sharpest losses in East Asia, the bank.
