作为世界上最高度依赖旅游和旅游业的地区，我们受到疫情最严重的负面经济影响。小岛屿发展中国家需要在脆弱性而非人均收入基础上获得优惠融资。否则，恢复将是漫长而痛苦的。本次大流行病，加之气候变化，表明获得发展融资的标准必须改变。我们认为，必须在联合国论坛上讨论这个问题，此外还有税收治理问题。
As a region that is the most highly dependent on travel and tourism in the world, we are the most heavily affected by the negative economic effects of this pandemic. SIDS require access to concessional financing that is based on vulnerability, not per capita income. Otherwise, recovery will be long and painful. The pandemic, along with climate change, demonstrates that the criteria for access to development financing must be changed. It is an issue we believe that must be addressed in the forum of the UN, along with tax governance.
