This is the VOA Special English Economics Report.
Representatives of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have gathered in Washington. World Bank President(三个实义单词在一起,中间的弱读。所以bank弱读) Robert Zoelick spoke to them on Thursday. This is the last time he attends (ds发的不清楚)the spring meetings of the two organizations(or没有卷舌,似乎没听到ga) as World Bank president. Earlier this week, Jim Yong Kim was officially chosen as the bank’s twelfth president.
Mr. Zoellick said developing countries are now engines of growth.
“Developing countries have provided two thirds of global growth over the past five years,” he said. But he added that many developing nations still face big problems.(big problem里,big是形容词,应该弱读) He said all members need to work together “for (没听到卷舌)their common interest.”
