                     Dr.  Mohieldin  highlighted  the  necessity  of  paying


                     attention  to  low  and  middle-income  countries  in  a


                     changing global economic trend and cited Africa, where


                     the continent grew for many countries from being a low-


                     income region to becoming middle-income.


                     “Middle-income  countries  and  the  middle  class



                     populations  are  being  squeezed,  and  mid-sized

                     Dr.  Bourguignon  drew  attention  to  the  urgent  need  to
