中等收入国家正在与时间赛跑。自1990年代以来，许多国家成功摆脱了低收入水平并消除极端贫困，因此人们普遍认为过去三十年是发展的黄金时期。但目前全球有100多个国家人均收入在1,100美元至14,000美元之间，它们的目标是在下一代内跻身高收入国家。以这一目标衡量，它们的表现令人沮丧。自1970年代以来，中等收入国家的中位人均收入一直停滞在美国水平的十分之一以下。随着人口老龄化、保护主义抬头以及加速能源转型的压力不断加剧，当今的中等收入经济体面临的挑战愈发严峻。要在逆风中跻身发达经济体，它们必须创造奇迹。《2024年世界发展报告》借鉴自1950年代以来的发展经验和经济分析进展，指出发展中经济体避免“中等收入陷阱”的路径。报告指出，中等收入国家需要完成两个转型：从投资驱动转向技术注入，再从技术注入转向创新。低中等收入国家必须摒弃一味依赖投资驱动的旧策略，转而将全球先进技术和成功商业模式注入本国经济。这需要将经济的广泛领域重塑为具有全球竞争力的商品和服务供应者。已经掌握技术注入的上中等收入国家可以加快向创新转型的步伐——不仅要借鉴全球技术前沿的理念，还要开始推动技术边界的拓展。这要求再次重构企业、劳动和能源使用方式，并更加重视经济自由、社会流动性和政治竞争力。这两个转型都不是自动发生的。那些快速从中等收入跃升至高收入的少数经济体，都是通过约束强势既得利益者来鼓励企业发展，通过奖优罚劣来培养人才，并借助危机契机调整不再适用的政策和制度。如今的中等收入国家也必须如此。
