President raps world finance systems
Morris Mkwate in RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
PRESIDENT Mugabe has called for the immediate restructuring of international economic and financial management systems to ensure they respond effectively to the needs of poor countries.
Addressing the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) which opened here yesterday, he said global financial regulatory mechanisms should be refined to avoid human-induced world economic problems such as the 2008-2009 crisis, largely triggered by speculation.
The President said small nations were invariably failing to achieve development objectives owing to punitive economic measures meted out against them by some developed countries.
He said urgent steps must be taken to address the situation, which undermines the rule of law and could attract repercussions to the United Nations and global financial institutions.
“The 2008 to 2009 economic and financial crises were spawned by activities that were not based on the real economy but on speculative practices.
“We need to strengthen global monitoring as well as regulatory and accountability mechanisms.
