"I Paesi poveri aspettano la cancellazione totale del debito che grazie ad accordi multilaterali e bilaterali aprirà ai Paesi indebitati la via per un accesso di tutti ai beni e per soddisfare necessità di base per vita e sviluppo, come l'acqua potabile, la sanità, programmi nutrizionali, educazione, microcredito e opportunità di lavoro" - ha detto il cardinale Martino acquistando a Londra, a nome del Papa, il primo bond dell'Iffim (il meccanismo di finanziamento per le vaccinazioni ideato dal ministro delle finanze inglese Gordon Brown). Con l'acquisto del bond il Papa "riconosce il bisogno di provvedere rapidamente ai fondi per rispondere alla povertà". "Chi vive nella povertà estrema - ha sottolineato il cardinale - continua ad aspettare da quei governi che avevano promesso di fornire lo 0,7% del proprio Pil, mettano in pratica i loro impegni". La vendita di bond è la prima nel suo genere: l'obiettivo complessivo è quello di raccogliere 4 miliardi di euro nei prossimi 10 anni salvando così la vita a 10 milioni di persone tra cui 5 milioni di bambini.
