Rapporto Aps/Pil nel 2006 - Fonte Dac-Osce
14.12.2007 Sono diminuiti del 4,5% nel 2006, scendendo a 104,4 miliardi di dollari, i fondi allocati dai paesi Ocse per l’Aiuto allo sviluppo (Aps). Lo segnala il rapporto diffuso nei giorni scorsi dal Development Assistance Committee (Dac) dell’Ocse. L’Italia, al decimo posto per quote versate ma al terzultimo nel mondo in rapporto al Pil, riporta aiuti governativi (Aps) per 3.641 milioni di dollari, pari allo 0,20% del Pil, cioè il 30,6% in meno rispetto al 2005 in cui raggiunse una cifra "gonfiata" di Aps (0,29%) con la cancellazione del debito estero dell'Iraq e della Nigeria. "Siamo ancora lontani dagli impegni presi con gli elettori e in sede internazionale di raggiungere lo 0,7% Aps/Pil entro il 2015" - afferma ActionAid. "A pochi giorni dall'approvazione definitiva della Finanziaria torniamo a chiedere di aumentare le risorse almeno fino allo 0,33% com'era stato scritto nel Dpef lo scorso giugno e poi smentito nei fatti" - rimarca l'Associazione delle Ong italiane.
