The World Bank has approved $80 million in loans to Somalia to fund public finance reforms, marking the first disbursement to the government of the conflict-ridden country in 30 years, the bank said.

世界银行近日表示，该行已批准向索马里提供8000万美元贷款，用于资助公共财政改革。

这是近30年来世界银行首次向这个饱受冲突折磨的国家提供贷款。

The Washington-based lender, which suspended ties with the country when war broke out in 1991, resumed support for Somalia in 2003, at the time saying it would focus on HIV/AIDS and livestock programmes with other organisations, but it has not approved any direct lending to the government to date.

1991年战争爆发时，这家总部设在华盛顿的贷款机构暂停了与索马里的联系，后于2003年恢复对该国的支持，当时称其将重点关注与其他组织的艾滋病和牲畜项目。

但迄今为止，它还没有批准向该政府提供任何直接贷款。

It reopened direct ties with Somalia's federal government in early 2013.

2013年初，世界银行重新与索马里联邦政府建立了直接联系。

Its board had approved financing of $60 million for the Recurrent Cost and Reform Financing Project and $20 million for the Domestic Revenue and Public Financial Management Capacity Strengthening Project, it said in a statement.

世界银行在一份声明中表示，其董事会已经批准为经常性费用和融资改革项目提供6000万美元的融资，并为国内收入和公共财政管理能力强化项目融资2000万美元。

"They (loans) represent a milestone in Somalia's development and reconstruction," the bank said.

世界银行称：这些贷款是索马里发展和重建的一个里程碑。

”The bank said it would also work with the government in Mogadishu to improve services like education and healthcare, access to clean water, energy and finance for its citizens -- under a programme called Country Partnership Framework.

该银行称，它还将与摩加迪沙政府合作，在一项名为 国家伙伴关系框架　的方案下，改善教育和医疗保健，为公民提供清洁水、能源和融资等服务。

Somalia's economy was forecast to grow by an average of between 3.

5 and 4.

5 percent annually in 2019-2022, when the partnership on social services will run, the bank said.

该银行表示，到2019年至2022年，索马里经济预计将以年均3.

5%至4.

5%的速度增长，届时将开展社会服务合作。

"While agriculture is key to the economy, it remains vulnerable to shocks.

As such, services will continue to be a main driver of growth, especially in the financial, transport and communication and trade sectors," the lender said.

贷款方称：虽然农业是经济的关键，但仍然容易受到冲击。

因此，服务业将继续成为经济增长的主要推动力，特别是在金融、运输、通讯和贸易部门。
