World Bank cuts global economic outlook
The World Bank has lowered its global growth forecast for 2015-2016 due to disappointing economic prospects.
Ayhan Kose, Director of Development Prospects at World Bank Group.
"Global growth was weaker than expected in 2014. It stayed broadly the same at about 2.6%, compared to growth in 2013. Underneath this broad number, we see divergence in activity across major advanced economies."
Among emerging markets, Brazil and Russia in particular weighed on the bank&`&s global growth predictions as did China, in a managed slowdown.
Ayhan Kose outlines the risks facing the world&`&s economy.
"Risks to this fragile recovery are still substantial. Developing countries&`& central banks need to strike a balance between targeting growth and targeting inflation and financial stability. At the same time, fiscal policy can be a tool to stimulate their economies, in case of an economic downturn."
The World Bank expects oil prices to stay low this year, but says this will take some time to feed into its growth outlook.
For more on this, Zhao Yang speaks with Professor Huo Deming from the National School of Development at Peking University.

According to the recent statistics, digital publishing in China has already become an industry worth of 254 billion yuan, or 41 billion US dollars. However, traditional publishing houses occupy less than 2.5 percent of the market share.
Facing the gravity of the situation, what will these publishers do to turn the tables?
Liu Min takes a closer look at the issue.

China&`&s outbound direct investment or ODI is expected to shift to Japanese Model in 2015.
Chinese low-end manufacturers may dominate the country&`&s outbound direct investment in 2015. According to Professor Huang Yiping, deputy dean of the National School of Development of Peking University, China&`&s ODI model may shift from seeking for resources and technologies to a relocation of capable industries, especially the low-end manufacturing industries.
For more on China&`&s outbound investment in 2015, here is our reporter He Fei talking with Professor Huang Yiping.
