offices. this is your business report i'm stephen there's in berlin it's good to have you with us the world bank is urging rich nations to support developing countries in the fight against the krona virus pandemic repeating its warning that 60000000 people could be thrust into extreme poverty by the pandemic in an interview earlier today world bank president david malpass told me that nations could even choose to cancel poor countries debt 1st i asked him how the global lender is working to get billions of dollars of grant money into the hands of the people who need it most that's an important challenge one way is to have cash transfer programs that actually gets money directly to people either through some kind of some countries have debit card systems some countries have small bank accounts that are available to the poorest some countries several countries use their postal systems to actually give money to people and those are useful because

the people can join you zid for 4 to maintain themselves during the shutdown but also to be ready if there if there is a recovery to participate in the economy so that's one type of approach. also the bank has has careful systems that work against corruption in the. in the money that flows through the government systems and so we maintain those systems and work with the countries in order to try they have a good outcome for the money that does flow now in addition to the program of grants and loans the world bank has agreed with the g. 20 nations to temporarily suspend debt payments owed by developing countries but some countries such as kenya have expressed reservations that this might harm their credit ratings are those concerns affecting participation in the desert special program. the interest has been substantial in that in

the by the poorest countries over half look like they're going forward with it and i think that number will grow as they look into the to the benefits that it will it will give them. by not paying their their loans now that provides funding to rectally to them for that they can use for the for the health emergency and also for economic recovery so i've been very pleased i launched the effort in late march and was joined along with. meth managing director chris elaine again if we were very happy with with the quick response of the g 20 they endorsed it and the governors of the world bank and of the i.m.f. all into oersted and so it's moving forward very quickly so i've been happy with

that and i would like to see it extend to commercial creditors as well that was one of the one of the issues in the g 20 communique was the call for comparable treatment from commercial creditors for about striking that that all together without the possibility. that debt something that. the world's leaders both the developing countries and the developed countries may discuss depending on the extent of the crisis and how long it goes on with the cancellation of debt rather than a one year move. because we've got a moratorium right now it's possible that that moratorium would be extended or would become a cancellation for the countries that are participating in it and i was david malpass their president of the world the world bank i want to continue this conversation with our financial correspondent and new york yes. yes

a lot of talk about debt loads that's a concern for countries even beyond the developing countries isn't it. if you really just look here at the united states for instance the debt has been a huge issue and unsolved issue even before the corona crisis hit if you look at private households running trillions of dollars in debt on credit cards on student loans car loans so for instance if. a corporate debt load and then also the government running huge deficits and all this step has even increased more and nobody really knows how to deal was that debt forgiveness might be a global topic not just in the developing world to miss your mention by the way i just sold it more than 4000000 americans at the moments are not paying their mortgage payments but at some point they will have to sell the diplo it is piling up. all right the big theme here for the pandemic yen stay with me for

a moment let's take a look at another topic in the u.s. treasury secretary steven the new engine saying today that the world's largest economy could be permanently damaged unless it gets back to work soon. telling a committee of senators that the trump administration wanted workers back to work but in a safe way and he rejected criticisms that the white house valued the economy more than worker health and course more states are reopening businesses even as health officials warn of the possibility of new waves of covert 19 infections so yes an economic restart sooner rather than later in the u.s. that's at least what the push is for how do normal americans view that idea. well everybody is hoping for that but it might be challenging i'm standing here by the way on a parking lot off a big bear furniture chain and as you can see nothing happens here if people take the space to teach their kids to ride a bike or how to drive a car one issue for example it's also what's going to happen with schools they will

certainly stay closed at least here in new york it till september so a lot of families might not even if the possibility to fully return to work that there was a survey all dead about 50 percent of american workers even if they would be allowed back to work they might be hesitant to do so and then by the way even if companies reopen we will see more stay at home work and we will also see how efficient that is but clearly the hope is here with everybody that we get back to normal as soon as possible all right the hope is there but it's a complicated puzzle yens quarter with the latest from new york thank you very much . and over to europe now were german prosecutors have dropped charges of market manipulation against 2 top volkswagen executives after the carmaker agreed to pay $9000000.00 euros to close the case against c.e.o. have at least and board chairman hans dietz of perche prosecutors had charged the 2 want to allegations they withheld information about the existence of devices to

the demand is increasing yet you have we were officially forbidden we no longer had the possibility of hosting tourists and of course we had to think about how we could generate revenue these days offering office space in the hotel is a viable option unfortunately it's only a fraction of our normal turnover in corona times every euro counts and that's why we're glad we found this new source of income. some of the hotels 50 employees are slowly getting the other rooms back in shape starting next week tourists will be allowed to stay at the hotel again although with some restrictions and precautions such as more space between tables in the restaurant and plexiglass panels as partitions. hoffa we want to return to 50 percent capacity relatively soon so that's what we're hoping for at the moment we won't be fully booked again as quickly as we used to but guests will
