English term or phrase: deepened the economy
Hola a todos:
¿Puede alguien ayudarme con "deepened the economy" en esta frase?

Another key area to eradication of poverty is the issue of “corruption”, which has deepened the economy of all nations, through neglect of duties by constituted authority, diverting public funds etc., subjecting the citizenry to abject poverty

Aparece en una declaración de una ONG para Naciones Unidas.

Gracias

ha hecho mella en la economía de todas las naciones
Explanation:
It is alarming that a declaration made before the UN would be so poorly drafted as to include such a blatant error, for "deepened" is used incorrectly here.

I assume that the intention was to state that "corruption has adversely impacted the economy of all nations."

penetrado (en) la economía


Explanation:
Yo lo entiendo así, que la corrupción ha penetrado la economía de las naciones, con una connotación negativa tanto de la palabra penetrar como en inglés, deepen.

También me gusta "ha exacerbado la crisis"... (como expresión, ojo, que a mí no me gusta que se intensifique la crisis de la econo-mía... si quieren hacer algo, ¡que lo hagan con la econo-suya!)
