Bad or worse?


Due to the worldwide financial crisis, economies
are threatened by a lack of credit.
This holds back economies from making investments
and their main fear is global recession.
Therefore central banks are taking serious measures
and all lowered their interest-rate.
Nevertheless the IMF expects the global economic growth
will fall to 3% in 2009 and predicts a global recession.

Details:
This holds THEM back from ...
HAVE lowered
no hyphen with 'interest rate'
comma needed after 'Nevertheless'
no definite article with 'growth'
