Coronavirus pandemic: Kristalina Georgieva said emerging markets need at least $2.5 trillion
Washington:

Ms Georgieva told a news conference that emerging market countries need at least $2.5 trillion in financial resources to get through the coronavirus pandemic.

Internal reserves and borrowing in local markets will be insufficient to cover these needs, so substantial funding from the IMF, other institutions and bilateral creditors will be necessary.
