World Bank warns economic slowdown will 'hit developing countries hard'

Description

Another economic forecast has painted a grim picture for global growth, shining a spotlight on the impact on developing economies.

David Malpass, World Bank Group President, told France 24 that high levels of inflation in Europe and the US "transmit into the developing countries," especially when it comes to energy and fertilizer prices.
