A | Colombo, Oct 12 (UNI) Cascading global crises have left 54 countries, including Sri Lanka and Pakistan, in dire need of debt relief, the United Nations has said.
In a new report, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) warned that dozens of developing nations were facing a rapidly deepening debt crisis and that “the risks of inaction are dire”, the Daily FT newspaper reported.
UNDP said without immediate relief, at least 54 countries would see rising poverty levels, and “desperately needed investments in climate adaptation and mitigation will not happen”.
That was worrisome since the affected countries were “among the most climate-vulnerable in the world”, the newspaper said.
The countries at the most immediate risk are Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Tunisia, Chad, and Zambia.
The agency’s report, published ahead of meetings of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and also of G20 finance ministers in Washington, highlighted the need for swift action.
But despite repeated warnings, “little has happened so far, and the risks have been growing,” UNDP chief Achim Steiner told reporters in Geneva.
“That crisis is intensifying and threatening to spill over into an entrenched development crisis across dozens of countries across the world.”
The poor, indebted countries are facing converging economic pressures and many find it impossible to pay back their debt or access new financing, the report said.
The UN agency said debt troubles had been brewing in many of the affected countries long before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
According to available data, 46 of the 54 countries had amassed public debt totalling $ 782 billion in 2020, the report said.
UNI MR。 盛夏的靖边，万物生机勃勃。
B | 位于靖边县芦河路北24号编号为6127028066的体彩实体店，一个关于责任与诚信的暖心故事悄然上演。
C | 上个月，6127028066实体店内迎来了一位普通的购彩者。他购买了几张体彩“顶呱刮”后，便兴致勃勃地刮了起来。
D | 刮完彩票后，这位购彩者并未进行兑奖，便匆匆离开。购彩者走后，代销者孙瑞像往常一样开始打扫桌面卫生。出于职业习惯和对购彩者负责的态度，他仔细检查了桌面上遗留的彩票，生怕有中奖的彩票被漏掉。这一检查不要紧，孙瑞果然发现其中一张竟然中了300元奖金。
E | “购彩者肯定不知道中奖了，得赶紧把奖兑给人家！”孙瑞没有丝毫犹豫，立刻放下手中的活计，跑出店外寻找。然而，此时店外早已不见那位购彩者的身影。
F | 面对这种情况，孙瑞没有选择将这笔奖金搁置，而是立刻回到店内调取实体店门外的监控录像。通过查看监控录像，孙瑞发现购彩者进了附近的一家超市。超市不是很大，没多长时间，孙瑞就在超市中找到了那位购彩者。当孙瑞将奖金交到这位毫不知情的购彩者手中时，购彩者激动不已，连声道谢。
G | “真没想到体彩店主还能把自己漏掉的奖金给送回来，太感谢老板了！”。一张小小的即开彩票，一次不经意的奖金归还，折射出的是体彩代销者孙瑞诚信之心。在孙瑞看来，购彩者的利益无小事，哪怕只是300元的奖金，也承载着购彩者对体彩的信任。他用实际行动诠释了“责任彩票”，不仅维护了购彩者的合法权益，更在靖边县的大街小巷传递了体彩行业的正能量。6127028066实体店在孙瑞的经营下，始终坚持合规销售、诚信服务，将每一位购彩者都当成朋友对待。这次寻主还奖的事迹，正是无数基层体彩人践行公益初心、坚守责任担当的生动缩影。孙瑞表示，他的实体店将继续秉持这份真诚，为购彩者提供更加贴心、放心的服务，让体彩的公益之光温暖更多人。
