Ken Ofori Atta, Ghana’s Minister for Finance says post-Covid 19 economic recovery and attainment of SDGs are possible with digitisation, tectonic shift in global financial architecture, increase in private capital and innovations in labour and education.

In addition, he reiterated African Finance Ministers call for debt standstill and debt relief to fragile countries saying, “We urgently need liquidity and debt sustainability solutions in order to truly recover from this pandemic.”

Mr Ofori-Atta said these in a speech read on his behalf by Mr Charles Adu Boahen, Deputy Minister for Finance at the opening of the Virtual 2020 Accra Sustainable Development Goals Investment Fair under the theme; regaining momentum in the SDGs Implementation during and post Covid-19.

He said the world urgently needed a recovery plan that ensured the development of a more robust global institutions and systems capable of withstanding such apocalyptic events such as the current pandemic.

The Minister, while noting the negative impact of covid-19 on the SDGs, particularly, on education, poverty, hunger, quality education and decent economic growth, also stressed the importance of partnership in the recovery efforts and partnership between the developed and developing world in the implementation of the sustainable development goals.

“Individual countries have had varying levels of success and resilience with their Covid-19 response based on the different measures and the timelines for intervention but our recovery programmes need to be better coordinated, less nationalistic and more global in nature.”

The 2020 Virtual Accra SDGs Investment Fair is to provide a platform to explore new opportunities within the new normal, identify innovative ways to access financial resources during the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery, share experiences relating to individual and corporate adaptability in the wake of Covid-19 and rebuilding momentum for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
