SUMMARY:Side event to the 2022 ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development 
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Not waving but drowning? - Managing Liquidity and solvency in a
  world of cascading crises\n\nHow is international finance supporting emer
 ging markets and developing economies in their responses to the COVID-19 c
 risis? This is the question framing the UNCTAD-led project Response and re
 covery: Mobilizing Financial resources for development in the time of COVI
 D. Among other workstreams\, the project provides two tools to help develo
 ping countries frame their responses in an unstable and uncertain internat
 ional environment.\n\nThe side event will present and discuss the latest o
 utputs linked to these tools:\n\n\nThe Global Financial Safety Net Tracker
 \, showing international liquidity provision during the COVID-19 crisis fo
 r all UN Member states and\nThe Sustainable Development Finance Assessment
  (SDFA) framework\, which assesses countries’ external and public sector
  financial needs against investment requirements arising from the most ess
 ential SDGs in the context of these crises.\n\n\nIn 2022\, developing coun
 tries are simultaneously facing multiple threats: Covid-19 continues to im
 pact the economy of these countries\, the conflict in Ukraine is increasin
 g the price of fuel\, finance\, and food\, and the prospect of monetary ti
 ghtening in developed countries will further increase external vulnerabili
 ties in developing nations. More than ever\, it is necessary to manage liq
 uidity and solvency in these countries to avoid cascading crises.\n\nProgr
