[DIGITAL Business Africa] \u2013 <\/strong>On the occasion of the fourth edition of the Paris Peace Forum which opened on November 11, 2021 in Paris, Dr. Muhammad Sulaiman Al Jasser, President of the Islamic Development Bank and Chairman of the Islamic Development Bank Group, called on world leaders to work together as one team with one vision and one goal: to create jobs and lift the poor out of extreme misery in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video in which he launches his appeal, he explains the need to act quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At this critical juncture of human history, collective action on health and economic recovery is indispensable. We, the members of international community are compelled to act swiftly as a large section of humanity falls into the abyss of poverty and unemployment. The cost of inaction will be too much to bear in the aftermath of the pandemic. We must invest in human well-being, promote a globally coordinated response and build resilience to future shocks<\/em>“, says Dr Muhammad Sulaiman Al Jasser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is convinced of the success of collective action: “We can achieve this goal by working as one team with one vision and one goal, one team that shares knowledge and builds capacity. A vision that ensures support for the poorest and most vulnerable communities; a goal that creates jobs, lifts the poor out of extreme poverty and invests in green recovery.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, he takes the case of the bank he heads. The ISDB has, according to his explanation, a track record in providing development solutions through Islamic finance, south-south cooperation, and infrastructure development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have allocated US$4.5 billion to support economic recovery in countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic to help them build back better. As a member of international family, we believe that improving global governance is a collective responsibility. Hence, We extend hour hands to our partners to overcome the menace of poverty and inequality for a sustainable future for all<\/em>“, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
