Teuea Toatu - 2022 Pacific Statement","Governor Teuea Toatu delivers the 2022 Pacific statement to the World Bank Group and IMF Boards of Governors, outlining how COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine compound pressures on Pacific small states. The statement highlights supply chain disruptions, inflation, delayed vaccination progress, rising budget deficits, interrupted remittances, and resulting public-service and mental-health impacts. It further addresses debt sustainability, support through debt service suspension, and the urgency of climate change action. It also welcomes the early launch of IDA20 and its policy themes.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nWBG Governor's Statement No. 10  \nOctober 14, 2022  \nStatement by the Hon. TEUEA TOATU, Governor of the Fund and the Bank for KIRIBATI, ON BEHALF OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA, MARSHALL ISLANDS, NAURU, PALAU, SAMOA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, TUVALU AND VANUATU  \nStatement by the Hon. Teuea Toatu,  \nGovernor of the Fund and the Bank for Kiribati,  \non Behalf of the Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa,  \nSolomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu  \nMr. Chairman, Fellow Governors, Ladies and Gentlemen,  \nOn behalf of the Pacific countries of FSM, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu – and my own country, Kiribati – it is my great honor to deliver the 2022 Pacific Statement to the Annual Meeting of the Boards of Governors.  \nI thank the World Bank Group and the IMF executive teams and staff for organizing this session. Impacts of the COVID-19 & War in Ukraine  \nI want to begin with a discussion of how the compounding global crises of COVID-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine are affecting the small states in the Pacific.  \nAs you can all appreciate, our isolation does not make us impervious to the outfall of major crises.  \nPeoples of the Pacific were indeed victims of World War II, so the current conflict in Ukraine is a cause of great trepidation and alarm among our citizens as it threatens global peace and stability and undermines the rules-based international order that the Blue Pacific relies upon.  \nThe war is also causing widespread supply chain disruptions and shortages and inflation across our region, especially fuel and food prices.  \nThe spillover effects from the war compound the ongoing impacts from the pandemic, which are still deeply felt across the region. Many of our countries managed to delay exposure to COVID- 19 through the timely instigation of border closures, allowing precious time to roll out vaccines and prepare frontline workers, with support from partners, including the World Bank.  \nThe pandemic eventually reached even the most isolated countries in our region, but these actions saved lives. However, the same policies have also had severe effects on Pacific economies, and increased poverty, including through its impacts on tourism, an important source of revenue and employment for many in the region.  \nFurther, until very recently, the recruitment of seafarers and seasonal workers slowed almost toa stop, interrupting the flow of remittances that many families rely upon.  \nThe pandemic has also affected the day-to-day running of governments and the delivery of essential public services. Budget deficits are common, as governments scale up expenditures to counter the economic downturn, while revenues are declining. Important infrastructure projects have been delayed, suspended, or cancelled.  \nThese factors together have hampered efforts to completely vaccinate our combined 1.5 million citizens against the pandemic. We have seen a resurgence of the virus in some countries, including the Marshall Islands, which closed its borders briefly and reopened them recently.  \nNationals abroad will be stranded, and as responsible governments, we have no choice but to subsidize their costs and to get them home as early as possible. In the process, we are adding unsustainably to public expenditure.  \nThe combined impacts of the current crises can be overwhelming at the individual and societal level. Today, news of war, pandemics, and climate-related disasters can reach virtually anyone, anywhere, and can have profound mental health impacts. These impacts on our societies and the related productivity declines can harm the economy, something we tend to overlook when dealing with the more visible impacts of a crisis.  \nDSSI & Debt Forgiveness  \nAnother challenge is debt sustainability for credit-eligible countries. Our fate lies in our smallness, lack of resources, and high vulnerability to natural disas","cbCairCxQJ0Wj3ry","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairCxQJ0Wj3ry","pdf",245480,4,1,"English","en",105,"# WBG Governor's Statement No. 10\n## October 14, 2022\n## Statement by the Hon.
