Building a resilient and inclusive recovery: World Bank Group Annual Meetings to focus on the path ahead for developing countries
The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc around the world and dealt a major setback to 
decades of development outcomes. Last spring, we successfully championed a moratorium on debt for the world’s poorest countries and launched a fast, broad-based response to COVID-19. We are financing emergency operations in over 111 countries – home to 70% of the global population- which has been the largest and fastest crisis response in the World Bank Group’s history.

September 21, 2020: COVID-19 response, new research on human capital, and looking ahead to our Annual Meetings
I would like to provide another update on some of the work underway at the World Bank Group 
to address the COVID-19 pandemic and other significant development challenges.
The pandemic is hitting developing countries hard, and the inequality of that impact is clear. It threatens to push over 100 million people into extreme poverty and is exacerbating inequality throughout the world.

Like every other country, the Republic of Fiji faces the unprecedented challenge of managing the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the number of cases remains low, in a country where international tourism is a cornerstone of the economy, the implications of the crisis are massive. GDP is expected to contract by more than 20 percent in 2020, with a 75 percent drop in international tourist arrivals and 40,000 tourism jobs already lost. In response, the government is planning a 3.7-billion-Fijian-dollar stimulus package to protect the population and support economic activity.
