Prime Minister Holness calls for increased support for developing countries at UN summit

Prime Minister Andrew Holness has urged international financial entities to give greater support for developing countries.
 
Addressing the Summit of the Future Action Days at the United Nations Headquarters in New York over the weekend, Mr Holness noted the capacity limitations of developing states to deal with the multi-dimensional challenges they experience. 
 
He pointed out that the challenges include climate change, debt sustainability and economic stability, access to financing for development, and global shocks, adding that technology and knowledge transfer must be facilitated, including through mutually agreed arrangements.
 
He informed the UN that his government has begun investing in anticipatory planning and future-proofing, starting with creating a solid macroeconomic foundation.
