Wire service story from October 10, 2001

 

Washington – An additional 10 million people worldwide could live in poverty next year because of the economic impact the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are likely to have on developing countries, the World Bank said yesterday.

            The attacks are expected to hurt economic growth in developing nations until the end of next year, the Bank predicted in a preliminary assessment it released.  Countries dependent on tourism-related trade will likely be among the hardest hit.
