WASHINGTON, D.C. — As COVID-19 impact reaches more than 60 countries,
the World Bank Group (“GRANTOR”), HSBC Bank USA N.A., (“PAYEE”) and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) had recently made
available some initial Fixed Deposits of $100 million each to fifty
(50) grantees, for immediate aid to individuals whose countries are
trying to cope with health and economic impact from the global
outbreak of coronavirus.
Funding was designed to help the world at large, to assist third world
countries to take effective actions responding to where possible, and
lessen the tragic impacts posed by Coronavirus, COVID-19, protecting
the poor and vulnerable, save jobs and businesses, and working to
build a more resilient recovery.
The World Bank Group is successfully providing large net positive
flows to world’s poorest persons and countries and they are making
rapid progress in directing up to a total sum of $160 billion to
individuals, entities and countries. These helpful priorities are
outlined in our operational approach to the COVID-19 crisis, entitled
Saving Lives, Scaling-up Impact and Getting Back on Track.
The World Bank Group has deployed to HSBC Bank USA, N.A., up to $160
billion for payments among (50) eligible individuals and (10) Nations,
over 15 months through July 2022 in funding tailored to health,
economic, & social shocks many countries are facing as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Through the fast track package, World Bank Group has been helpful to
developing countries and individuals to strengthen health systems,
including better access to health services, safeguard people from the
epidemic, strengthen disease surveillance, public health
interventions, and are working with private sectors to reduce the
impact on economies.
With this financing packages drawn from across IDA, IBRD and IFC, are
globally coordinated to support individuals and country-based
responses. The COVID-19 support package will make available initial
crisis resources of up to $12 billion in financing — $8 billion of
which is new — on a fast-track basis.
This comprises up to $2.7 billion new financing from IBRD; $1.3
billion from IDA, complemented by reprioritization of $2 billion of
the Bank’s existing portfolio; and $6 billion from IFC, including $2
billion from existing trade facilities. We are providing a fast,
flexible response based on developing country’s needs in dealing with
the spread of COVID-19,” said World Bank Group President David
Malpass. “
This includes emergency financing, policy advice, and technical
assistance, building on the World Bank Group's existing instruments
and expertise to help countries respond to the crisis." The financial
package will provide helpful financial grants for low-income countries
for middle income countries, using all of our operational instruments
with processing accelerated on a fast-track basis.
The International Finance Corporation — World Bank Group private
sector aim will provide global necessary support to continue operating
and also sustain their economy, a range of interventions to strengthen
health services and primary health care, bolster disease monitoring
and reporting, train frontline health workers, encourage community
engagement to maintain public trust, and improve access to treatment
for the poorest patients.
HSBC Bank USA, N.A., is also directly supporting corporate grantees —
with a focus on strategic sectors including medical equipment and
pharmaceuticals to sustain supply chains and limit downside risks.
These solutions will leverage the lessons learned from similar events
in the past with a goal to minimize the negative economic and social
impacts of COVID-19 globally.
The Grants support will prioritize the poorest countries and those at
high risk with low capacity. As the spread of COVID-19 and its impact
