Global Financial Crisis Must Not Delay MDG’s – UN
United Nations (UN) secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has urged the world not to allow the global financial crisis to turn into a prolonged human crisis.
Ban says the crisis means the race to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 has become even more pressing.
In a press statement read on his behalf in Pretoria to mark the UN’s 63rd birthday, Ban warned that while the financial crisis affects all countries, the poor in developing countries will be the worst hit. He says hard-won economic gains are in jeopardy due to volatility in commodity, energy and food prices, lowering standards of living.
