UN leader Antonio Guterres today slammed the world’s rich countries and energy giants for throttling poor nations with “predatory” interest rates and crippling fuel prices.
Guterres told a summit of the most deprived states on the planet that wealthy nations should provide US$500 billion (RM2.2 trillion) a year to help others “trapped in vicious cycles” that block their efforts to boost economies and improve health and education.
