United Nations, New York, 26 May 2010 - The global economy is slowly rebounding from the worst of the recession but the recovery remains too anaemic to create enough jobs to replace those lost so far, a new United Nations report says today. The updated 2010 World Economic Situation and Prospects, released by the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), finds that world gross product started to grow again in the early months of this year after it contracted by 2 per cent last year amid the most severe international recession since World War Two.
