UN Secretary General said about the risk of the strongest global recession in 80 years

Guterres stressed that the social and economic damage from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow.

“There is no vaccine that can correct the damage already done.

We are facing the worst global recession in eight decades, ”he said.

According to him, the level of extreme poverty and the threat of hunger is growing in the world.

Earlier, the UN predicted the worst humanitarian crisis in 75 years in 2021.

Guterres, in turn, said that conflicts, climate change and the coronavirus have created the greatest humanitarian challenge since World War II.
