58. Carey 女士(巴哈马)代表加勒比共同体发言说，冠状病毒病的影响已经使加勒比和拉丁美洲的发展成果至少倒退了十年。根据世界银行的数据，至少有1 亿人将陷入极端贫困。由于资源被转用于应对大流行病，再加上收入下降，各国在实现可持续发展目标和具体目标方面将面临更大的困难。他们需要足够的财政空间和资金来应对大流行病造成的危机。在关于冠状病毒病时代及以后发展筹资问题的会议上，国家元首和政府首脑审议了以下问题：外来资金和侨汇、就业和包容性增长；更好地恢复以实现可持续性；全球流动性与金融稳定；债务脆弱性；私营部门债权人参与；以及非法资金流动。联合国应该侧重于这些专题领域。
58. Ms. Carey (Bahamas), speaking on behalf of the Caribbean Community, said that the impact of COVID-19 had reversed development gains in the Caribbean and in Latin America by at least a decade. According to the World Bank, at least 100 million people would fall into extreme poverty. With resources being diverted to tackle the pandemic and revenue declining, countries would have greater difficulty in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and targets. They needed adequate fiscal space and funding to respond to the crisis caused by the pandemic. At their meeting on financing for development in the era of COVID-19 and beyond, Heads of State and Government had examined the following issues: external finance and remittances, jobs and inclusive growth; recovering better for sustainability; global liquidity and financial stability; debt vulnerability; private sector creditors engagement; and illicit financial flows. The United Nations should focus on those thematic areas.
