もっと厳しい比較
Here "benign" means "favorable", "positive", "beneficial" or "harmless". 厳しい is probably too strong in this context but provides the general meaning.

成長率の低下
上の文だけでは前年同期との比較か、それ以外か分かりませんが、何かと比較して「成長率が低下したため」や「成長率が低かったため」と訳せば良いのではないかと思います。「低下」や「上昇」、「高い」「低い」は何かと比較して言うことですから。
Note from asker:
| 背景の説明のない状態での質問ですみません。おそらく比較対象とする時期の問題で、比較自体がless benign であったため、今回の数値との差が大きいように見える、という意味のようです。いつもありがとうございます。 |
