Working at the intersection of trade, development and multilateralism. Chief of New York Office of UN trade & development @UNCTAD @UNCTADNewYork

[UN trade & development - New York Office @UNCTADNewYork]

Without adequate governance, access, and capacities, the rapid expansion of AI risks exacerbating existing digital divides and widening productivity gaps across and within countries, were some of the key @UNCTAD's messages to UNGA's 2nd Committee on ICT for development.

On external debt sustainability, higher-for-longer interest rates and structural shortcomings of domestic borrowing (such as a cost premium, shorter horizons and the crowding out of private credit) limit fiscal space and constrain the ability to use debt as a tool for development

[UN trade & development - New York Office @UNCTADNewYork]

It was an honour for @UNCTADNewYork to have supported, together with the wider @UNCTAD team, the efforts of the Working Group throughout the last few months under the lead of Egypt and Pakistan. We look forward to continue supporting the Borrowers' Platform as its secretariat.

In an excellent meeting with the Chair of the Group of 77, Dr. Obaid of @iraq_un I emphasized the need to enhance fiscal space for the achievement of the SDGs. We discussed @UNCTAD @UNCTADNewYork support to developing countries and the preparatory process for FFD4 and UNCTAD16.

850+ delegates are in Addis Ababa to review progress & pave the way for #FfD4. https://t.co/YEVg3Dd0Gt

The #GlobalGoals offer the only viable path out of relentless crises, but there's a $4 trillion financial gap.

Here's what we need to bridge this gap: https://t.co/0ucDfkzbTO

I was pleased to convene the final meeting of the LLS Advisory Board today for the 78th Session.

Appreciate the comprehensive dialogue on how to best support LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS on their path to sustainable development, including through the High-Level Political Forum and the upcoming Summit of the Future, amongst other events.

Thanks to all the Board members for their valuable contributions throughout the session.

[Juan José Martinez Badillo @unjmb1]

Honored to be part of a brilliant, high-level panel on gender equality and financial reform. Developing countries need the fiscal space to duly invest in the SDGs, of which gender equality is of the most synergetic and cost-effective uses. IFA reform & SDG stimulus are central.

[GWL Voices @GWLvoices]

Reflecting on our panel discussing the imperative for gender equality in financial reform led by #GWLVoices @mfespinosaEC. Thanks to @UN_PGA Dennis Francis, @unwomenchief, @UNCTADNewYork @unjmb1, & @UNUniversity @MuznahSiddiqui1 for their invaluable insights! 💼🌍♀️

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Investing in women is fundamentally a human rights issue.

Yet, our profit-driven global economy too often leaves women behind.

I welcomed the engaging dialogue led by @UN_PGA & @GWLvoices at #CSW68 on reimagining a gender-inclusive financial architecture.

[UN trade & development - New York Office @UNCTADNewYork]

Three pathways to empower women through trade, break barries & transform subsistence into value chain participation: 1. production linkages between countries, 2. value addition and 3. clustering and networking, key message at @UNCTAD #68scw side event together with @indonesiaunny

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Some of today’s economic policies, at both national and global levels, constitute a war on the poor – and on their human rights.

The global financial architecture must be reformed to provide long-term, low-cost financing and an effective safety net for all countries in need.

[UN Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies @ODET_UN]

@UNTechEnvoy and @UNCTAD teamed up to unpack the building blocks of the digital economy 🌐 and discuss how the #GlobalDigitalCompact can unlock inclusive growth 📈 for development. Learn more at https://t.co/iWBQ51jWhQ. @gioasempre @RGrynspan @AkEnestrom @chomilambo
