Zemlja koja je 2008. imala rast BDP-a od 7% i koja je u 2009. predviđala rast od 3,5%, mogla bi mjesto toga pretrpjeti daljnje smanjenje BDP-a za 2% u 2009, te nulti rast u 2010, predviđa Jaeger.
A country that had GDP growth of 7% in 2008 and envisioned 3.5% growth in 2009 might instead suffer a 2% contraction of GDP in 2009 and zero growth in 2010, as projected by Jaeger.
