"The people who are hit the most by the pandemic are those with the least ability to manage their own situations. We are making sure that our support reaches this vulnerable population - we are collecting data to survey these households and firms about their resources and access. We are are helping governments to expand the social security nets. It is a work in progress, but we continue to identify gaps and help clients respond the right way." @Victoria Kwakwa

"Our priority should be to ensure that the poorest countries don't face a lifetime of repayment of debts that were pre-COVID. We need a fresh start, but we lack the tools right now. So all of us should be encouraging G20 on a new approach to deal with the debt overhang that is heavily burdening people in the poorest countries." President David Malpass

"Our cascade approach is more relevant now than ever. We need to leave the fiscal space for the poor and vulnerable. The IFC teams are engaged and involved with Bank colleagues to help private sector back on its feet."  @Stephanie von Friedeburg
