00:10 Finance can promote an equitable recovery from the pandemic
00:14 by ensuring that the institutions that are serving low-income communities
00:19 remain viable.
00:20 The pandemic has brought great hardship around the world.
00:24 And one implication
00:25 is that people struggle
00:27 to meet obligations to others.
00:30 And that affects institutions like microfinance institutions
00:34 that are lending
00:36 in poorer communities.
00:38 This is one reason
00:39 that WDR 2022 is so important.
00:43 Finance is an absolutely critical
00:46 component of equitable recoveries
00:48 and not just for individuals and families,
00:51 but also
00:52 for the institutions working in their communities
00:55 that support them
00:57 through their economic and social challenges.
