BALI - The former Minister of Finance (Catib Basri) said that the pandemic that has occurred in the last three years has brought extraordinary significant changes in various fields.

According to him, improvements did not only occur in the health sector but also in the economic sector.

Chatib said, the world had never previously thought about how healthy the issues were so closely related to the world economy.

"Health is also an investment at this time," he said in Nusa Dua, Bali on Sunday, November 13.

According to Chatib, the pandemic has completely changed the World's health architecture.

This sector then raises an idea for new financing instruments.

"WHO needs large funds in handling health, but he can't do funding. This is where it emphasizes the idea that the importance of cooperation among many countries," he said.

For this reason, he welcomed the presence of funds for handling the pandemic or Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF) initiated by G20 countries.

He also hopes that this source of funding can reach all parties, especially for developing countries.

"Investments for a pandemic can save millions of lives in developing countries," he stressed.
