UN Secretary-General António Guterres made a statement that recently there has been an increase in poverty and racism. According to him, the world is no longer moving forward.
News-TV aired a press conference on the topic “What caused the global increase in poverty.” Artem Kiryanov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, answered key questions on the topic.
According to him, the situation with the growth of poverty in the world is not at all a surprise.
“The reason for the decline in the living standards of the poorest countries and their population is a very expensive crisis that we are experiencing today in Russia as part of a special military operation”
“If we take the growth rates of 25% growth in poverty compared to last year, then the reason for the fall in the living standards of the poorest countries and their population is a very expensive crisis that we are experiencing today in Russia as part of a special military operation,” the economist explained.
Kiryanov believes that this crisis is caused by the unequivocal behavior of the “golden billion” in relation to the whole world.
“Complete indifference to the interests of other countries leads to such consequences. First of all, it is worth noting the policy of the United States as a country claiming world domination, a country trying to maintain the status of world hegemon, ”the expert specified.
The participant of the press conference recalled. that Washington has succeeded in recent times in such a way that even their closest ideological allies, the European countries, began to slide towards the poverty line – the poverty line.
“Even such EU economic locomotives as Germany, France and Italy feel extremely uncomfortable today”
“A huge number of businesses are simply leaving the EU physically. There is an industrial exodus of manufacturers due to high energy prices. This speaks volumes. Even such EU economic locomotives as Germany, France and Italy feel extremely uncomfortable today,” said Artem Kiryanov.
As for the countries that are on the lower levels of the pyramid, then, according to the economist, they will have to look for other entrepreneurs, and today this is already happening.
“PRC today is the second economy in the world, striving to be the first, and Chinese business will be able to save the day and seriously raise the standard of living”
“It is not the first year that Chinese entrepreneurs have been working in a number of African countries, it is worth recalling that China is now the second economy in the world, striving to be the first, and Chinese business will be able to save the day and seriously raise the standard of living,” the deputy chairman is sure.
At the same time, Kiryanov clarified that the lack of food in the world will increase the gap between poor and rich countries in the world.
