韩国央行：北朝鲜经济增速超欧盟(双语)

　　The Bank of Korea (BoK) report that “the increase in economic activity was attributed mainly to growth in services and building while farming, mining and manufacturing saw slower growth”。

　　韩国银行的报道称，“(北朝鲜的)经济增长主要体现在服务业和建筑业的大幅增长，而农业，矿业和制造业的增长率则偏低。”

　　Growth in services, making up around 31.3% of total economic output, accelerated to 1.3%， up from 0.3% in 2013, with retail sales, food and accommodation, logistics and communications all expanding from a year earlier。

　　服务业增长的产值占到了经济总量的31.3%左右，增速从2013年的0.3%上涨到了1.3%。零售，餐饮及住宿，物流和信息等行业也较前年有所增长。

　　Construction increased by 1.4%， rebounding from a 1.0% contraction in 2013, with an increase in buildings offsetting declines in road and plant construction, according to the BoK。

　　据韩国银行的数据显示，北朝建筑业自1013年1.0%的萎缩之后，今年实现反弹式增长，增幅达到1.4%。建筑数量的增长弥补了道路和植被数量的下降。

　　Reuters notes that the BoK’s analysis did not include black market economic activity that has grown steadily in recent years, creating a consuming class with demand for products such as cosmetics, smartphones, fruit juices and foreign clothes, according to residents and visitors。

　　路透社评论称，据北朝居民及外国游客透露，韩国银行的相关分析并不包括黑市经济活动。黑市经济活动近年来的稳步增长促使北朝出现了一个消费阶层，他们需要化妆品，智能手机，果汁和外国服装等高档产品。

　　While modest economic expansion, the BoK suggest that a savage drought currently gripping the nation, the worst in a century, could hobble economic growth in the impoverished nation in the current calendar year。

　　但韩国银行评论认为，尽管北朝今年经济大幅增长，但该国正面临百年一遇的旱灾，在这个并不富庶的国家，灾情可能对经济的增长产生束缚作用。

　　North Korea does not release official economic data, hence the reliance on the BoK analysis to estimate economic output。

　　介于北朝鲜并不会公布官方经济数据，因此人们只能根据韩国银行的相关分析来估算北朝的经济产值。
