摘要：In 2007 the world economy showed an ascendant evolution and recorded a 4.9%-increase.
Despite the crisis registered in the international financial markets, the economic activity at
the world level continued to expand, mainly due to emerging and developing countries.
China, the economic growth of which was estimated for 2007 at the level of 11.4%, recorded
for the first time the highest contribution to the world economy growth assessed both at the
purchasing power parity and at the market
prices. The economies of India and Russia also
continued to evolve on the background of the
estimated real growth rates for 2007 at the level
of 9.2 and 8.1%, respectively. It is worth
mentioning that half of the global growth in
2007 is due to those three countries. The rapid
evolution of the emerging and developing
countries compensated the moderate rate of the
economic growth from the United States of
America, estimated for 2007 at 2.2%, which
was influenced by the financial crisis triggered
as a result of great losses recorded by US and
European financial institutions following the
risky operations in the US mortgage market.
