Progress in poverty reduction has stalled
Global poverty reduction was dealt a severe blow by the COVID-19 pandemic and a series of major shocks during 2020-22, causing three years of lost progress. Low-income countries were most impacted and have yet to recover. In 2022, a total of 712 million people globally were living in extreme poverty, an increase of 23 million people compared to 2019. The Sustainable Development Goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 remains out of
reach. source
