Doha: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the need to boost investments in developing nations, highlighting the role of artificial intelligence and technology in shaping global economies. Speaking at the World Investment Forum, Guterres urged private sector participation in these investments, particularly in renewable energy, technology, and critical minerals.
He stressed that while these sectors represent a significant portion of new global investments, less than a quarter reaches the least developed and low-income countries. The UN chief underscored that the forum provides an opportunity to encourage private sector investment in developing countries and demonstrate global support for commitments made to promote development and investment.
Guterres expressed optimism that the forum would lead to synergies, partnerships, and ambitions, transforming technological potential into an era of prosperity for all.
