10. 大流行病导致的全球经济放缓正在打击新兴市场国家和发展中国家，特别是对那些依赖出口的国家的打击尤其沉重。另一场债务危机正在逼近。在大流行病之前，许多国家根据重债穷国倡议已经获得一个新的开始；而一些国家现在再次深陷债务泥潭。二十国集团(G20)的暂停偿债倡议值得欢迎，但还不够。私人债务问题也必须得到解决。收入直线下降的许多国家会发现自己无法偿还债务。

The Group of 20 (G20) debt service suspension initiative was welcome but insufficient. The issue of private debt must also be tackled. Many countries where incomes were plummeting would find themselves unable to service their debt.
