New Delhi: Muhammad Yunus on Friday said that the coronavirus pandemic has given the world a chance to reflect and take bold decisions to create a new order where there is no global warming, no wealth concentration and no unemployment.

It has given us a window of thinking and we have a choice, whether we go to that terrible world which is going to destroy itself anyway or we go someplace else and build a new world where there will be no global warming, no wealth concentration, no unemployment," he said.

Yunus said, "Financial systems are designed in wrong ways. Covid has revealed the weaknesses now. Poor people are all over but the economy does not recognize them. If we can finance them they will move up the ladder. We are engaged with the formal sector."
