Rishi Sunak at the 104th meeting of the Development Committee (October 15, 2021, Washington, DC) outlines priorities for the World Bank Group (WBG) and IMF after the COVID-19 pandemic declaration.

Hon. Liz Truss  \nSecretary of State for Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs and Minister for Women and Equalities  \nand  \nRt. Hon. Rishi Sunak  \nChancellor of the Exchequer  \nUnited Kingdom  \nStatement by  \nRt. Hon. Liz Truss  \nSecretary of State for Foreign Commonwealth and  \nDevelopment Affairs and Minister for Women and equalities  \nand  \nRt. Hon. Rishi Sunak  \nChancellor of the Exchequer  \nUnited Kingdom  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \nThe 2021 Annual Meetings take place more than 18 months since the declaration by the World Health Organization of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The next 18 months will be critical in Developing countries’response and recovery. Strong, sustainable and inclusive economic growth will be critical to this and supporting the future prospects for their people. The United Kingdom is seeking to build stronger economic ties globally to support a greener, safer, freer and more resilient world and are working with our partners, including through our G7 Presidency this year and hosting the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow to support this. We call on the WBG and IMF to support further action in the following areas:  \n- Economic development and trade. We encourage the WBG to: support developing countries to participate in the global trading system, strengthen supply chains and build their capacity to meet global standards, ensure openness, and compete in a digital trade environment; and mobilise investment and build a pipeline of investible deals in the poorest countries and most challenging sectors including to build markets ofthe future.  \n- Build back better. The WBG should work effectively with other MDBs to provide financing at scale to support quality investments to support national climate, development and poverty plans. We call on the WBG to play its part, including through supporting effective country platforms, to drive partnerships and mobilise private finance as we all strive to build back better.  \n- Women’s economic empowerment and girls’ education. The WBG should support: global targets to support 40 million more girls into school and 20 million more girls to read by age 10 by 2026 in low and lower-middle-income countries; and increased access to social protection systems that empower women and link to wider services that promote inclusion, including access to childcare. The WBG should also increase its support for action to tackle Gender Based Violence, including sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.  \n- COVID19 vaccines, treatments and tests. The WBG should: rapidly implement its $20 billion package of support; take more risk on its balance sheet, including to support Advance Purchase Agreements (APAs); and deepen its cooperation with COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) and the African Union African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT) . We encourage the WBG to continue its work as part of the Multilateral Leaders’Taskforce on Scaling COVID-19 Tools and continue to work with different parts of the international architecture to ensure a better delivery plan.  \n- Climate change. We welcome the WBG’s Climate Change Action Plan and its commitment to align all its projects with the Paris agreement and to ensure that, on average, at least 35% of its financing to 2025 supports action on climate change. We call on theWBG to go further before COP26 by: presenting an ambitious plan for increasing the amount of private sector climate finance that it mobilises; develop a methodology to track and report on its nature financing; and jointly commit with other MDBs to mainstream nature ","cbCairUhO5i7LXWX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairUhO5i7LXWX","pdf",174671,1,3,"English","en",105,"# Statement by Liz
