U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres demands $1.3 trillion a YEAR "to protect people and communities from the here-and-now effects of climate chaos" The doomers are not calling their shakedown "carbon credits" anymore. The new term is "climate adaptation." "Africa is home to 60% of the world's best solar resources, 30% of critical minerals, 1/5 of humanity. Yet it receives just 2% of global clean energy investment. At the same time, more than 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity. This is unjust and a lost opportunity for Africa and the world. Developed countries must keep their promises, including support to the fund for responding to loss and damage and the green climate fund. The 300 billion U.S. dollars pledged to developing countries must be delivered with concrete steps to mobilize the $1.3 trillion a year by 2035. ... Recent reforms and policy decisions have increased the lending capacity of multilateral development banks by 600 to 800 billion U.S. dollars. They must use it aggressively to finance the infrastructure of the future and climate adaptation. They must also adapt their instruments to match the scale and time frame of the challenge, including 50-year finance where needed."

I did promise since last year that we would bring agriculture and food systems to center stage at COP28, and here we are! Celebrating together, a MILESTONE MOMENT IN HISTORY for food systems and agriculture at a COP in the first session. I'm happy to confirm that COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action has so far received 134 endorsements from heads of state and government. With these countries on board, we cover more than 5.7 billion people and 70% of all the food we eat. The signatories of the declaration are home to nearly 500 million farmers and represent 75% of all emissions from global food systems. To support the funding and innovation part of the declaration, it gives me great pleasure to announce a significant funding partnership with a very dear partner to the UAE. The partnership will focus on agricultural research and development and scaling up innovations, which is so desperately needed to adapt food systems to the growing threats of climate change. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with the UAE, will fund a total sum of… 200 million US dollars of new investments into food and ag research and scaling up innovations. With the majority of this investment flowing into the CGIAR network, the UAE is delighted to become a core partner of the CGIAR System Council and support its work. A big thank you to all the countries who have endorsed the declaration and contributed to this watershed moment for the food and climate agenda. We look forward to many more joining over the next few days! #FoodSystems #agriculture #COP28UAE #cgiar

Saudi Arabia Announces USD 3 Billion Additional Support, Extends USD 5 Billion Deposit: Finance Minister Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, has informed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has committed USD 3 billion in additional deposits, with disbursement expected in the coming week. He further stated that the existing USD 5 billion Saudi deposit would no longer remain subject to the earlier annual rollover arrangement and would instead be extended for a longer period. The Finance Minister made the annoucement while talking to members of the media in Washington, D.C., on the sidelines of the World Bank–IMF Spring Meetings 2026, and shared important details regarding Saudi financial support for Pakistan and the government’s external financing strategy. Senator Aurangzeb said this support comes at a critical time for Pakistan’s external financing needs and would help reinforce foreign exchange reserves and strengthen the country’s external account. He reiterated the government’s commitment to maintaining reserves in line with its obligations to markets and under the IMF-supported programme, including the objective of achieving around USD 18 billion in reserves, equivalent to approximately 3.3 months of import cover, by the end of the fiscal year. The Finance Minister noted that Pakistan had successfully repaid its USD 1.4 billion Eurobond last week, describing it as a “non-event,” and reaffirmed that the government remained fully committed to meeting all upcoming external obligations and maturities on time. He emphasized that Pakistan’s external financing plan is clearly defined and being implemented in a responsible and disciplined manner. Referring to his engagements in Washington, Senator Aurangzeb said that he, along with the Governor, State Bank of Pakistan and Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States, had held a detailed meeting with Saudi Finance Minister H.E. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jadaan. He recalled that he had also met the Saudi Finance Minister in Islamabad the previous Friday, but noted that the government had deliberately refrained from commenting publicly in the absence of formal communication, despite media reports and speculation, as such matters required clarity and joint understanding before being shared. The Finance Minister expressed profound gratitude to the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Finance Minister H.E. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jadaan, and the Saudi Vice Finance Minister, for their continued support and close cooperation. He particularly appreciated the efforts made to bring the support package to fruition. Senator Aurangzeb also acknowledged the role of Pakistan’s political and economic leadership in securing and operationalizing the support. He thanked the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Field Marshal, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Governor, State Bank of Pakistan, the Finance Secretary Mr. Imdad Ullah Bosal, and their respective teams for their contributions and coordination. The Finance Minister stated that, at this juncture, sentiment and confidence were critically important. He said Pakistan was receiving unprecedented appreciation from international financial institutions, the IMF, the World Bank, institutional investors, and counterparts he was meeting in Washington. He noted that the international community was particularly recognizing Pakistan’s recent diplomatic and facilitative role in helping enable dialogue between parties that had not held face-to-face discussions for decades. He said this international appreciation, coupled with Saudi Arabia’s timely financial support, provided Pakistan with important momentum and confidence going forward, both for the economy and for the external account, including its commercial dimensions. Senator Aurangzeb further noted that Pakistan was advancing its broader external financing agenda, including the recently announced Global Medium-Term Note (GMTN) programme and the planned inaugural Panda Bond issuance, as part of efforts to diversify funding sources and strengthen market access. The Finance Minister concluded by reaffirming the government’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, fulfillment of external obligations, reform continuity, and sustained engagement with bilateral and multilateral partners. He said a more detailed interaction with the media would take place at the conclusion of the visit.

Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, It is an honour to address this Biennial Summit. We gather at a moment when the 2030 Agenda is in peril. It is estimated that we need to close a financing gap of $4 trillion annually if we are to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. A succession of crises has exposed the fragility of our interconnected economies and revealed deep inequities in our capacity to respond. While some nations are able to mobilise trillions to shield their citizens and economies from pandemics and other emergencies, others are left constrained by debt and denied fair access to global capital. We should use this Summit to push for the full implementation of commitments made across various forums – from the Financing for Development process to the #G20 and Climate Change COP. We must strengthen coordination between the UN, the African Union, the G20, international financial institutions and other global financial actors, embedding inclusivity at the heart of global economic governance. To close the SDG financing gap, we need to undertake the following bold measures: Firstly, we need debt relief and restructuring that is faster, fairer and more comprehensive. Secondly, we need to mobilise affordable, accessible financing from a wide range of sources. Thirdly, we need to rechannel unused Special Drawing Rights to countries in need. Fourthly, we must scale up concessional finance through development banks. Lastly, we must reform global tax rules to curb illicit financial flows Beyond financial instruments, we need confidence that commitments will be honoured and that global rules will be shaped by all members, not just a few. Let us forge a new compact for financing sustainable development rooted in solidarity, equity and mutual accountability. South Africa stands ready to ensure this Summit becomes a turning point in our collective effort to build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient global economy. I thank you. #UNGA80 🇺🇳

South Africa’s G20 presidency comes at an important time for developing and climate-vulnerable states. Jamaica supports the global effort to make growth sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. Our experience shows the value of disciplined macro-fiscal reforms, responsible debt management, institutional strengthening, and focused pro-growth measures. These actions stabilized our economy and created space for investment in our people. That progress is now threatened. Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, has devastated seven parishes and will place pressure on our fiscal outlook. This reflects the ongoing reality facing small island developing states. Recovery will require strong global partnership. The IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust, made possible through G20 action, remains an essential source of long-term, affordable financing. Jamaica supports its continuation and strengthening. We also encourage the expansion of climate-focused financing tools, including thematic bonds, blended-finance options, and funding for resilient infrastructure. A rules-based global trading framework should provide predictability and flexible support for small economies, including access to risk-insurance instruments and opportunities for technological upgrading. Integrating multidimensional vulnerability indices across international financial institutions will help countries invest in resilience without jeopardizing fiscal stability. Jamaica also supports a clear loss-and-damage financing window and a global skills and trade compact. These steps will help ensure global systems promote resilience, stability, and shared prosperity for all nations.

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa. Creative Industries: A powerful driver of youth employment and cultural exports, Africa's creative industries can amplify Africa's global impact. Inclusivity: Young people, women, and underserved communities across Africa must help design effective strategies. Born and raised in Lusaka, Dr. Maimbo has worked in development finance across Africa and the globe, most recently serving as the Vice President of Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning at the World Bank. As Chief of Staff to successive World Bank Presidents, he played an instrumental role in advancing the institution's mission and strategy at the highest international levels. His stewardship in resource mobilization secured an unprecedented $93 billion financing package under the International Development Association replenishment, with over 70% of the organization's global commitments directed toward Africa.

Four of Asia's central banks are hitting the panic button at the same time. India. Indonesia. South Korea. Japan. They are calling it a currency crisis. It is really a dollar shortage. Almost everything that matters trades in dollars. Oil. Food. Materials. The debt everyone borrowed. When a local currency falls, all of it gets more expensive. That starts a loop. A weaker currency drives more dollar demand. More demand weakens the currency further. Japan drew a line at 160 yen. It sold $76 billion defending it. The yen is back below 160 anyway. India has burned through more than $110 billion in forex tools. Its banks now pay non-residents 7.1% on five-year deposits. A five-year US Treasury pays about 4.3%. They are paying up just to pull dollars in. Indonesia hiked rates to 5.5% in an emergency off-calendar meeting. Its reserves are falling at the longest streak since 2018. South Korea inspected its foreign exchange banks for the first time in 14 years. Its stock market fell 8% Monday, rose 8% Tuesday, fell 5% Wednesday. That is not policy management. That is desperation. The problem is not interest rate differentials. It is the dollar itself. There are not enough dollars to go around. And energy keeps raising the need. Selling reserves and hiking rates can slow a currency for a day. It cannot create new dollars. This does not stay in Asia. The region sits at the center of global trade and finance. When the dollar gets this tight, the stress does not stop at the border. It travels.

🚨 Britain and the EU are to commit to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) at this month’s post-Brexit summit, a leaked draft agreement has revealed. The statement says the UK and EU are “committed” to not only UN agreements but also the ECHR The leaked draft also steers clear of the term “illegal” migration, referring to it instead as “irregular” migration, which has previously sparked criticism of a softening in the approach to border control. The joint statement is being drawn up for the summit on May 19th. Read it below. 8. We recognise the shared challenge of irregular migration and the need to work across the whole route to address it. We note too the importance of securing our collective borders, while remaining committed to ensuring international protection for those who need it. 9. We agreed that, in an increasingly contested and volatile world, our shared commitment to multilateralism is vital. We recognised the importance of upholding international law, and are committed to the UN Charter, the Helsinki Decalogue, the implementation of the UN pact for the future, and subsequent OSCE commitments and the ECHR. We agreed to strengthen cooperation to tackle illicit finance, corruption and kleptocracy. We will continue supporting the UN Secretary-General's UN80 initiative to deliver ambitious reform efforts; and upholding democracy, human rights and the rule of law. We recognise our shared commitment to climate security and will strengthen cooperation on international aspects of the issue. We recognise that the climate and nature crises are existential threats to global prosperity and security. We remain committed to keeping the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C within reach and to implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

PM .Narendra Modi JI IN NO MOOD TO SPARE TRUMP! NEXT SURGICAL STRIKE COMES THROUGH FM .Nirmala Sitharaman JI🔥 GIFT City’s FCSS: A Challenge to America’s Dominance in International Settlement! Bharat's launch of Foreign Currency Settlement System (FCSS) at GIFT City on Oct 7, 2025, marks a pivotal step toward financial sovereignty, enabling near-instantaneous USD transactions within 3-5 seconds, compared to the 36-48 hours typical of traditional systems. A big threat to U.S.-centric SWIFT system, FCSS subtly undermines America’s dominance in international settlement by offering a localized, efficient alternative. How?👇 1. Undermines U.S. Dominance. GIFT City’s FCSS reduces reliance on U.S.-controlled correspondent banking and SWIFT, which is influenced by U.S. banks and dollar-centric systems like CHIPS. 2. By enabling real-time USD settlements within Bharat's IFSC, it cuts costs and risks, potentially attracting global players. 3. Aligns with BRICS’ de-dollarization push, as seen in China’s CIPS and Russia’s SPFS. Once scaled to include multi-currency clearing or domestic banks, FCSS would erode U.S. leverage over global finance, especially as sanctions expose SWIFT’s vulnerabilities. 🔥Advantages of GIFT City’s FCSS 1. Speed: Settles USD transactions in 3-5 seconds. 2. Cost-Efficient: Eliminates high correspondent bank fees. 3. Sovereignty: Shields GIFT entities from external sanctions. 4. Scalability: Plans for euros, GBP, and broader access. 5. Global Appeal: Attracts investors with fast, cheap settlements. 🔥Disadvantages of SWIFT 1. Slow: 1-5 day settlement delays. 2. Expensive: High cross-border fees ($25-50). 3. Geopolitical Risk: Susceptible to U.S. sanctions. 4. Opaque: Payment tracking less streamlined. 5. Legacy System: Struggles against blockchain alternatives. If you are proud of Today's Bharat after reading this, let's take a pledge now. Let's find a 'Hindutva wala CONgressie' & vote for him so that Inclusive Interests of Hindus will be protected under him & BJP's Modi can be taught a lesson. Let's forget the fact that such 'Hindutva wala CONgressie' under Dynast Owners had been living on caste fault-lines since 1947 doing equal injustice to all Hindus while bringing 'India' down to Fragile-5.

🚨🇦🇪🇮🇷 Why did Iran attack the UAE the most? Did Abu Dhabi retaliate? Are they advocating for a continuation of war? Did Netanyahu visit Dubai? I spoke to Fmr Director General of Dubai's Department of Finance Nasser Al Shaikh and asked him the tough questions. 🇮🇱 On Israel: “Some of the things Israel has done, especially in Gaza, has not made our life easier, maintaining those relations. But we’ll have a relationship even with the devil… when you have diplomatic relations, you do not have to agree with every single thing that country does.” 🇮🇱 On Netanyahu’s “secret visit:” “I think it did not happen.” 🇺🇸 On resuming the war: ”We do not want to see the war. But it's not the UAE’s decision. It's not the Saudis’ decision. It's not Pakistan's decision. It's a decision in the White House.” 🇮🇷 On Hormuz: “No country should control the Strait of Hormuz. Any form of trying to control it and install a toll system or whatever, that's I think modern-day piracy.” Nasser Al Shaikh ناصر الشيخ 1:17 The UAE never wanted the war and is now trapped between defending itself and avoiding escalation with Iran. 4:05 The UAE absorbed more than 3,000 missiles and drones, more than the rest of the GCC combined. 5:05 The UAE was suddenly fighting its first real war while facing over 350 incoming projectiles per day. 7:41 Gulf states always preferred containing Iran over collapsing the regime. 11:52 Any Iranian attempt to charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz is modern-day piracy. 15:16 Whatever option guarantees the Strait of Hormuz stays open will be supported. 16:10 The Hormuz crisis is no longer just about oil, it’s starting to disrupt global trade and supply chains everywhere. 17:53 Allowing Iran to charge shipping fees would create a dangerous global precedent and violate international law. 24:27 If the Gulf had real influence over Trump, this war would never have happened. 26:40 “We’ll have relations even with the devil.” 29:45 Iran saw the UAE as the fastest way to shock the global economy. 31:27 Iran’s real objective was burning the UAE. 33:10 Emirati diplomacy quietly damaged Iran internationally more than people realize. 42:01 If the UAE struck Iran, it was probably a warning shot, not the start of a wider war.

Full Speech of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s National Statement at the 80th UN General Assembly Delivered by Vice President Kashim Shettima. Key Points: 1. Commitment to Multilateralism: Nigeria reaffirms its faith in the United Nations as a vital platform for global unity, born from the need to prevent chaos and promote humanity’s redemption. The UN must evolve to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. 2. Call for UN Security Council Reform: Nigeria demands a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, reflecting its population (over 236 million), regional stabilizing role, and contributions to global peacekeeping. This is part of a broader push for UN institutional reform to enhance fairness and representation. 3. Sovereign Debt Relief and Trade Access: Nigeria advocates for urgent action on debt relief and fair access to trade and finance, proposing an international mechanism to manage sovereign debt, enabling emerging economies to move beyond raw material exports and foster growth. 4. Mineral Wealth for Host Nations: Countries rich in critical minerals, like Nigeria, must benefit through local processing, investment, and job creation to reduce conflict and promote stability, drawing from Nigeria’s experience in the Niger Delta. 5. Closing the Digital Divide: Nigeria calls for a global initiative to bridge the digital gap, ensuring equitable access to technology, particularly for Africa, to harness opportunities and address challenges like misinformation and cynicism. 6. Peace and Human Rights: Nigeria emphasizes a two-state solution for Palestine, condemns violence in Gaza and Qatar, and underscores the importance of civilized values, tolerance, and multilateral efforts to resolve conflicts. It supports democratic institutions regionally and globally. 7. Climate and Economic Challenges: Climate change is framed as a security and migration issue, requiring efficient use of climate funds for education, resilient housing, and technology access. Nigeria’s economic reforms aim to promote growth despite hardships, as seen in the success of the West Africa Economic Summit. 8. Peacekeeping Legacy: Nigeria highlights its extensive participation in UN peacekeeping (51 of 60 operations since 1960) and its ongoing fight against insurgency, emphasizing that lasting peace requires values and ideas, not just military action.
