The United Nations is calling for a global debt deal,... which includes massive debt relief for developing countries to prevent an economic catastrophe prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Thursday, the UN's Conference on Trade, Investment, and Development called for a grant of one trillion U.S. dollars in debt relief for the world's poorer nations,... as well as an international body to oversee the execution.
In Europe, the head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagard, warned the pandemic could cut up to 15 percent of the EU member-states' economic output.
Speaking during a video conference Thursday with the leaders of 27 EU nations,... she said their response to the economic fallout was too little and too late.
