Developing countries will need a 2.5-trillion-U.S.-dollar support package this year to face the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, a UN report said on Monday.
Needed measures will include a 1-trillion-U.S.-dollar liquidity injection and a 1-trillion-U.S.-dollar debt relief package, according to the paper.
Another 500 million U.S. dollars will be needed for emergency health services and related programs, on top of capital controls, the report added.
