Re-examine financing gaps, debt portfolio of developing countries
- President Ali implores global leaders, says this would open fiscal space, create opportunities for economic recovery By Tamica Garnett PRESIDENT, Dr. Irfaan Ali has implored global leaders to address the financing gap between the developed world and developing countries, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic and other inter-
locking global challenges have widened the gap of inequality. Dr. Ali, in his firm address to the United Nations General Assembly, said climate challenges, energy and food crises and inter-state conflicts are among the issues which have led to a
loss in revenues and income in the developing world, which, in some cases, had earmarked those funds for initiatives that would help in the achievement of many Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030. “[To address this] there must be an immediate re-
examination of the financing gap and the debt portfolio of the developing countries, to open fiscal space and create an opportunity for recovery, bridging the gap and attaining the SDG goals,” President Ali related. See story on page 3
