World's poorest can bank on UN support, secretary-general says
 | "Banks may be failing. But the world's bottom billion can bank on us." |
The world's poorest people can count on the United Nations and its member states to support them, despite the current crisis engulfing financial markets, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday. "Everyone has felt the earthquake on Wall Street. But it has not shaken our resolve," Ban told reporters at UN Headquarters in New York, where he held the first in a series of regular monthly press conferences. "Banks may be failing. But the world's bottom billion can bank on us."
