The heads of the world’s most powerful global finance, health, and trade organisations have joined forces to urge government leaders to fund a new $50 billion roadmap to help end the pandemic that has ravaged lives and livelihoods for the past 18 months, as well as lay the groundwork for a truly global recovery and improved health security.
Leaders of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank Group, World Health Organization, and World Trade Organization [Kristalina Georgieva, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, David Malpass, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala] said governments must act quickly or risk continued waves and explosive outbreaks of COVID-19, as well as more transmissible diseases.
The joint statement is based on a recent IMF staff analysis that stated that $50 billion in fresh investment is required to boost production capacity, supply, trade flows, and delivery, allowing for faster equitable distribution of diagnostics, oxygen, treatments, medical supplies, and vaccines. This injection would also have a significant positive impact on global economic growth.
