26. 关于亚洲经济危机的影响 会议注意到 由于非洲没有完全纳入全球经济 所以直接影响减至最低不过 由于对非洲商品的需求减少 价格下降 非洲也间接受到影响 因此非洲需要有效地参与国际金融体系 以便将这些不利影响减至最低 关于国际金融管理问题 会议注意到大量发展中国家被排除在决策进程之外 国际金融体系必须加以改革 而且联合国必须承担责任制定适当的一揽子改革措施
26. Regarding the impact of the Asian financial crisis, it was noted that the direct impact has been minimized, owing to Africa not being fully integrated into the global economy. Nevertheless, Africa has suffered indirectly through the decline in demand and prices for their commodities. Africa thus needs to be effectively engaged in the international financial system in order to minimize these adverse effects. On the issue of international financial governance, the exclusion of a large number of developing countries from the decision-making process was noted. The international financial system needs to be reformed and the United Nations needs to assume the responsibility of developing an appropriate reform package.
