World Bank President David Malpass called on the richest countries in the Group of 20 to provide more debt relief to the least-developed countries in the world, stressing the need for more money flow and growth in developing countries.
This came, according to Agence France-Presse, after the American giant Microsoft announced that it would spend tens of billions of dollars to buy a video game company.
“I was struck by the Microsoft investment – $75 billion in a video gaming company compared to just $24 billion over three years in aid for the poorest countries,” Malpass said in a press conference on Wednesday, referring to donations allocated in December by 48 high- and middle-income governments.
“Microsoft” company announced on Wednesday its intention to acquire in exchange for about $ 96 billion the Activision Blizzard, the giant American video game company, which has released popular games, including “Candy Crush”, “Call of Duty” and “World of Warcraft”.
