October 12, 2008 - World Bank/International Monetary Fund (IMF) Annual Meetings. Development Committee press briefing. World Bank President Robert B. Zoellick.
"Our meeting took place at a critical time for the global economy, with financial markets experiencing unprecedented turmoil. Developing countries - many of them already hit hard by high prices for energy and essential foodstuffs -- risk very serious setbacks to their efforts to improve the lives of their populations from any prolonged tightening of credit or a sustained global slowdown." --Zoellick

"This has been a man-made catastrophe. The actions and responses to overcome it lie in all our hands. We must also ensure that as governments and publics turn their attention close to home, they do not step back from their commitments to boost overseas assistance to meet the Millennium Development Goals. Aid flows must be maintained. Today's meeting of Ministers was unanimous in that regard." --Zoellick
