Then, the need for a global financial safety net in this case can be through the support of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It can use the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) policy option for poor and developing countries in reducing the debt burden.
"Then, also ask the Multilateral Development Banks (MDB) to use their balance sheets and capital adequacy framework. So, they can continue or strengthen increase support for many countries in a larger situation, especially in financing assets," Sri Mulyani said.
Sri Mulyani also explained that the MDB balance is not only used for global interests but can also be used for climate change.
"So, it is an important element related to using a common framework to handle debt-related situations. The second is the support from the IMF, and the third is how to ask the MDB to increase using the existing balance sheet through the current adequacy framework," Sri Mulyani explained.
