| Summary: | These remarks were delivered by the
World Bank Group President David Malpass’s at the interview
with James Coomarasamy on BBC Radio’s The World Tonight on
May 19, 2022. He said that the key thing for the world is to
create more supplies of energy of food of fertilizer, and
move forward. He mentioned about lot of pressure on debt in
developing countries because the contracts weren't
transparent. He mentioned that there was Coronavirus
(COVID-19) itself, the pandemic and the deaths but then also
the shutdowns and in particular the shutdowns and closures
of schools, and it is going to take years and years to make
up for the educational losses that went on. He highlighted
the course of inflation depends a lot on the amounts that
can be added into the global economy to make up for some of
the losses. He spoke about export bans are a big problem. He
concluded by saying that it’s vital to end the war in
Ukraine, and if that can't be done, then it's
vital that countries around the world, and especially the
advanced economies, announce new supplies of energy, of food
and of fertilizer. |
