I think goal 1, 2, 4 and 8 have done a lot of work and have come a long way. I believe goal 1 has done a lot of work because poverty has significantly declined by more than half, in 1990 it was 1.9 billion and in 2015 it decreased to 836 million. Goal 2 has come a long way in improving education. In 2000 there were 100 million out of school children, and in 2015 there were 57 million.

LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate; it was intended to be a firm representation of the cost of funding for the largest…
