Al-Hamidy - 104th Meeting of the Development Committee - Sustainable finance: An imperative for the new normal","Statement by Abdulrahman A. Al-Hamidy for the 104th Development Committee meeting addresses sustainable finance as a necessary shift for the post-COVID environment. The statement links the Sustainable Development Goals to interconnected environmental, social, and governance challenges, emphasizing structural transformation, ESG focus, and progress toward carbon neutrality by 2050. It argues that financial-system transition depends on integrated risk management, resilience building, and coordinated actions across public and private sectors, aligning capital flows with global targets.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – October 15, 2021  \nDC/S/2021-0036 October 15, 2021  \nStatement by  \nAbdulrahman A. Al-Hamidy Director General Chairman of the  \nArab Monetary Fund  \nStatement by  \nAbdulrahman A. Al-Hamidy  \nDirector General Chairman of the  \nArab Monetary Fund  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \n“Sustainable finance: An imperative for the new normal”  \nOn behalf of the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF), I would like to commend the Development Committee for convening this important meeting being an essential platform for developing countries to discuss ways and means to respond to and manage the evolving challenges we face. The Development Committee has always championed multilateralism, and global governance which appears today more significant than ever. In the wake of the multidimensional and unprecedented crisis, we strongly believe in the merit of adopting coordinated and mutually agreed actions.  \nSustainable development is profoundly multidimensional  \nEven before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global community was off-track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as highlighted in the 2020 Financing for Sustainable Development Report. The pandemic we are facing today has much to teach us about an even more existential threat and has amplified the challenges of reaching the SDGs, while exposing the long-standing gaps and deficiencies in the international financial system, such as debt, global liquidity, and financial flows. These pressing challenges are being discussed in multiple fora, such as the G20, where Italy, currently holds the G20 Presidency, has organized the efforts under the theme of People, Planet and Prosperity. It has had a very specific focus on the role of all types of investors, including for instance institutional investors as part of the Sustainable Finance Working Group. These international commitments agreed by governments around the world, require nothing less than a paradigm shift in how economies and financial systems operate, and how they could create value for societies.  \nIn fact, the 17 SDGs are interconnected and integrated, and have a long-term focus, aiming to ensure that any developments are sustainable for current and future generations. This makes the focus on Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) issues particularly important since reductions in poverty, for example, cannot be sustainably maintained if they come at the expense of environmentally destroying local areas or damaging the global climate. Addressing these pressing ESG challenges involves nothing less thana structural transformation that will put economies on a sustainable and inclusive path to meet the global ambition of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 (Paris Agreement) and realizing 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (United nation) . The financial sector is a pivotal component of this transition and has  \na profoundly important role to play in helping to achieve prosperity by mitigating sustainability-related risks, building resilience, and channeling the capital to sustainable uses that builds more resilient and inclusive societies and economies. Sustainable finance shall be the standard, the new financial normal.  \nSustainable finance requires an integrated approach and effective coordination mechanism  \nThe financial sector is exposed to a set of risks, from environmental and climate risks to those posed by social pressures, including contagious diseases and their socio-economic consequences such as the COVID- 19 pandemic-related global crisis. In the 2020 World Economic Forum Global Risks Report, identified the top five risks in terms of likelihood were all environmental risks.
