63. Rakhmetov 先生(哈萨克斯坦)代表内陆发展中国家集团发言说，冠状病毒病正在对人民福祉和经济发展产生破坏性影响，并进一步制约内陆发展中国家本已紧张的金融和财政空间，而这些国家特别容易受到此类危机的危害。随着商品价格暴跌，官方发展援助和外国直接投资减少，医疗保健和社会保障系统以及服务业正承受着越来越大的压力。总人口超过 5.2 亿的内陆发展中国家依赖邻国进入国际市场，与冠状病毒病有关的过境限制正在削弱他们的发展前景。全球供应链和交通网已经受到影响，这进一步限制了这些国家在世界贸易中本已很小的份额。即使在大流行病爆发之前，也未做出足够努力来实现《内陆发展中国家 2014-2024 年十年维也纳行动纲领》。这些国家的总体增长在 2020 年注定将转为负增长。
63. Mr. Rakhmetov (Kazakhstan), speaking on behalf of the Group of Landlocked Developing Countries, said that COVID-19 was having a devastating impact on people’s well-being and on economic development and was further constraining the already tight financial and fiscal space in landlocked developing countries, which were especially vulnerable to such crises. Health-care and social protection systems and service industries were coming under increasing strain, as commodity prices collapsed and flows of ODA and foreign direct investment dwindled. Landlocked developing countries, the total population of which was more than 520 million, relied on neighbouring countries to access international markets and COVID-19-related transit restrictions were dampening their development prospects. Global supply chains and transport networks had been affected, further limiting those countries’ already small share in world trade. Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, not enough had been done to achieve the objectives of the Vienna Programme of Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014–2024. Overall growth in those countries was set to turn negative in 2020.
