This would brake the spread of the Coronavirus, informed the UNDP on Thursday. The monthly necessary sum for 2.7 billion Affected in 132 developing countries would amount to a minimum of 199 billion dollars (170 billion euros), the UN-calculation.

“Unprecedented times call for unprecedented social and economic measures. The introduction of a temporary basic income for the poorest people in the world has as an Option. This seemed to be just a few months ago to be impossible,“ said UNDP chief Achim Steiner. Specifically, 1.07 billion benefit “the poor” and 1.71 billion “vulnerable” people:
- 168 to 218 million people in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Central Asia
- 378 to 521 million people in Latin America, the Caribbean, East Asia and the Pacific Region
- up to 787 million people in sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia.

Specifically, the experts have in mind three ways in which the money could be distributed:
- A lump-sum Transfer of 5.50 dollars per day, which is the same in all countries uniformly.
- Monthly payments that increase the income at a minimum rate, which is above the poverty line. So, for example, would be in a country where the poverty line is $ 1.90 per day, the minimum rate of 3.20 dollars per day.
- Monthly payments in the amount of half of the average income of a country.
probably The greatest challenge in implementing the Plan, according to the experts, is that many of the people who are to benefit from the basic income, are not officially registered and sometimes not even a Bank account. This could be through cell phone accounts resolved, which are already used in many of the States affected by the majority of the population.
