由于2009年第一季度中国经济增长超出绝大多数人的预期，世行行长佐利克说，中国有可能充当全球经济复苏的催化剂。
佐利克在加拿大召开的一次会议上说：“在当前环境下，进行任何预测都是冒险的，但我认为，中国在经济增长方面很可能会有意外表现。”他说：“(中国的增长)不仅是一股稳定力量，还是使整个体系摆脱(衰退)的力量。”
中国快速崛起成为全球经济中的重要角色，这促进了制成品的全球贸易，并为西方企业的产品和服务提供了一个巨大的市场。
佐利克曾是美国努力推动世贸组织制定全球贸易新规则行动的负责人，他敦促各国不要阻止现在这种“共生关系”。
他指出：“在当前环境下，如果一方或另一方实行贸易保护主义，或对金融市场产生某些怀疑，都有可能会使形势变得雪上加霜甚至岌岌可危。”
佐利克还赞扬了中国央行为推动人民币成为全球货币所作的努力：“我认为，如果你能在一定程度上实现储备货币多样化，确保人们能好好地进行管理，这最终是一件好事。” （编辑：刘瑞常）
World Bank boss sees China spurring global recovery
China's stellar growth could help pull the world out of its current economic slump, the head of the World Bank says.
With Chinese growth in the first quarter of 2009 exceeding most expectations, World Bank president Robert Zoellick said that China could act as a catalyst for a global economic resurgence.
"Any forecast in this environment is hazardous, but I think China is likely to surprise on the upside," the former US trade envoy said, speaking at a conference in Canada.
"By and large (China's growth) has not only been a stabilising force, but a force that will pull the system (out of the downturn)."
China's meteoric rise as a global economic player has boosted world trade in manufactured goods and provided western companies with an enormous new market for their products and services.
Zoellick, who once headed US efforts to reach a new set of global trade rules at the World Trade Organisation, urged countries not to hamper this now "symbiotic relationship."
"In this environment, if you had protectionism burst out on one side or the other, or have some doubt put in about financial markets, those are the type of factors that could take a fragile situation and make it worse."
Zollick also praised China's central bank for its efforts to develop the yuan as a global currency.
"Ultimately, that's a good thing. And ultimately it's good if you've got, I think, some multipolarity of reserve currencies to create, to make sure that people manage them well," he said.
