Session 1: Global Economy

Thank you, Minister, both for today’s meetings and for your leadership during a time of crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic and now Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have caused a humanitarian and economic catastrophe. Recessions are likely in many countries. This will put heavy new burdens on fiscal deficits and debt markets.
