Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) — International investors say the gap between rich and poor hampers economic growth and that governments should act to reduce income inequality, according to a Bloomberg Global Poll.
Fifty-eight percent of global respondents say the disparity hinders the economy and 68 percent say governments should confront the problem, according to the Jan. 16-17 survey of 477 investors, traders and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers. U.S. respondents are divided over the issue.
The income gap is emerging as a key theme for this week's annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, at a time when global growth is accelerating and asset prices are rising.
