June 11, 2020 The coronavirus crisis could push up to 100 million people into extreme poverty, ruining the progress of the past three years in reducing poverty.

This was stated by the director general of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, stressing that in light of this the authorities "must do everything in their power to promote more inclusive growth". The "good news" is that governments around the world have put in place extraordinary measures worth 10,000 billion dollars.
