24. 斯蒂格利茨先生(哥伦比亚大学教授)说，全球合作对于应对这一大流行病和重建得更好至关重要。这种合作应该包括发行特别提款权、债务重组和投资，以使经济更环保和更加包容。关于主权债务，人们开始意识到，市场办法无法解决问题。爆发大流行病之后，新兴市场和发展中国家的长期债务积压将对全球经济复原构成威胁。
24. Mr. Stiglitz (Professor, Columbia University) said that global cooperation was essential to tackle the pandemic and to build back better. Such cooperation should include the issuance of special drawing rights, debt restructuring and investment in making economies greener and more inclusive. With regard to sovereign debt, the realization was dawning that a market-based approach would not solve the problem. An extended period of debt overhang in emerging markets and developing countries in the wake of the pandemic would pose a threat to global economic recovery.
