However, that process has been affected by a wave of shocks ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to natural hazards. Jeremiah Manele, Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade of the Solomon Islands, citing the multidimensional crises affecting least developed countries, noted his country is scheduled to graduate at the end of 2024. Partly as a result, he noted that, over the past decade, only four countries were able to graduate from least developed country status. Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, stressed that least developed countries have been victims of the pandemic of inequality - in access to vaccines, technology, finance and opportunities - and continue to be disproportionally affected by the climate crisis, with their gross domestic product (GDP) growth plummeting. DOHA, 6 March - The world is facing an “inequality crisis”, in which 46 countries comprising 14 per cent of the global population face serious impediments directly hampering their ability to progress economically and graduate from the least developed country category, world leaders warned today as the fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries entered its second day in Doha.
