Foreclosure Crisis in USA Leads to Global Instability
The foreclosure crisis in USA ultimately led to global instability. Miguel D’Escoto the president of U.N. General Assembly said that the approval has been given to a proposal that can be considered to be the first step of many that will try to put the world along a new course leading to solidarity and stability that could be sustained.
A central forum has been set up for discussions on international financial and economic subjects. He was speaking after the UN Conference on World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development came to a close in New York. He said that this itself was an important achievement.
The assembly has been told to follow up the matter with the help of a working group to deal with mitigation of crisis, reframing the financial and economic system, external debts and world trade. It has been admitted that the present crisis should not delay the world response to changes in climate and degradation of the environment. Initiatives on ‘green economy’ have to be taken.
D’Escoto reiterated, “We are happy but not content, or rather, not completely satisfied. We must all join forces to confront these crises. The proposals we have adopted today point in this direction. But much remains to be done.” He pointed out that there were heavy clouds looming in the horizon relating to food, water and fuel.
The conference lasted for three days and there were many rounds of discussions covering various issues regarding the part to be played by U.N. in responding to these problems and how to solve these. It was noted that although the developed countries have not been spared they have the means at hand to tackle it. But this is not so the case with other parts of the world. Helen Clark the administrator said, “Some expect a slow recovery towards the end of this year or in the first half of next year. The turn-around for developing countries, however, may well take longer. Many impacts of the crisis in developing countries, such as slowing growth rates, rising unemployment, and declining budgets are only now beginning to unfold.” The main concern is that progress rate will be slowed and anti-poverty targets would not be reached. She added, “We must do all in our power to stop this happening.”
Representatives from 150 countries attended this high level conference focusing on the international economic gloom and its impact on the developing nations.
