食料危機対応に１０億円拠出　ＩＭＦ・世銀合同開発委で表明―日本

　【ワシントン時事】国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）と世界銀行は１４日、開発支援について議論する合同開発委員会を米ワシントンで開いた。日本政府は世界銀行グループの国際金融公社（ＩＦＣ）が新たに設けた食料危機対応の融資枠組みに対し、約７００万ドル（円換算で約１０億４０００万円）の資金拠出を行うと表明した。
　食料の生産や供給を担う民間企業への融資を通じて、生産能力の向上や供給網（サプライチェーン）強化を促すのが狙い。ＩＦＣの融資枠組みは総額６０億ドルで、うち３０億ドルについて各国政府や民間に拠出を呼び掛けていた。日本はＩＦＣを含めて、途上国の中長期の食料生産能力向上などのために世銀グループ全体に２０００万ドルを資金拠出する。（2022/10/15-11:26）

The Japanese government said Friday that it will contribute about 7 million dollars to a new financing framework to deal with food crises, set up by the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group.
   Tokyo announced the move at a meeting in Washington of the joint development committee of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
   The new framework is aimed at promoting the improvement of productivity and the strengthening of supply chains through loans to private food producers and suppliers.
   The IFC has called on governments around the world and the private sector to provide 3 billion yen for the 6-billion-dollar lending framework.
   Including the 7-million-dollar contribution to the IFC framework, Japan plans to provide a total of 20 million dollars to the World Bank Group for projects including those to boost the food production capacities of developing countries in the medium to long term.
