There is an illusion of sustainability but it risks bringing quite dramatic surprises, especially if the recovery is slower than expected from the slower access to vaccines,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is the opposite of what Egypt has tried to do:<\/strong> The Egyptian government is working to issue more longer-term debt; as of June last year, the Finance Ministry had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/3337ffd0-2efd-4abc-bc91-2adad57554aa\">extended the average maturity of its debt profile to 3.2 years<\/a>, up from 1.3 years in June 2013.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMF to the rescue?<\/strong> The UN is proposing that the IMF issue new special drawing rights (SDRs) to allow it to provide more post-covid relief to low-income countries. Advanced economies may also be asked to contribute their SDRs to the IMF\u2019s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust \u2014 a facility earmarked for the world\u2019s poorest countries \u2014 and a new unit to be set up specifically to channel finance to struggling middle-income nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The G7 recently gave its backing to new SDRs<\/strong>, which reportedly could be upped <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1eb98a8a-7499-4e5e-96e4-8c953c8de7c0\">by another USD 650 bn<\/a> to allow it to provide more post-covid relief to low-income countries. The plan is expected to be given final approval at the IMF and World Bank\u2019s Spring Meetings, which will take place during the first week of April.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This would be the biggest SDR issuance in history<\/strong>, Guterres said when asked whether the measures on the table would be enough to tackle the scale of the problem. \u201cSome of these things are quite radical \u2026 It will break taboos. If multilateral and national institutions are ready to enter into partnerships and provide guarantees, we can create incentives for the financial sector to mobilise a lot of additional private funding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UN chief urges action to prevent incoming EM debt crisis: The UN secretary-general has warned that growing debt in the emerging world threatens to destabilize developing countries, tipping many into poverty, social unrest and conflict. \u201cThe response to covid and to the financial aspects [of the crisis] has been fragmented, and geopolitical divides are not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":565252,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9272],"tags":[1878,107,115,633,3664,1253,272,1510,7085],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-565251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-macro-picture","tag-antonio-guterres","tag-covid-19","tag-emerging-markets","tag-enterprisepm","tag-frontier-markets","tag-g7","tag-imf","tag-the-macro-picture","tag-un","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"2cb01788-35a6-45a8-a22e-43d560acbba9","is_powered_by":true,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/3\/579.jpg","photo_position":"above","related_issue":[565242],"teaser":"","voice_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
