Gita Gopinath said in a Jan. 28 online lecture to the National Council of Applied Economic Research that additional support will be needed for poor countries who could “barely spend during this pandemic” and will fall severely behind economically.
“It’s important for the international community to come through with financing, in terms of concessional financing, with grants. Everything should be on the table, including SDRs,” Gopinath said.
