  盖茨在盖茨夫妇基金会的第一份常年报告中说,希望两年后他再次发表年报时,经济危机已经过去,“但是,危机产生的影响还会持续下去;相信5到10年后这些问题就会消失。”

  盖茨认为,日新月异的科技和创新的科学是经济复苏的主要动力,革新的“推进速度对难题的解决将有实际的作用,对振兴世界经济大有裨益。”

  关于基金会的慈善事业,盖茨表示,虽然资产价值跌了两成,基金会还是会继续增加经费,在全球发展医疗、教育等项目。

  他认为,此时此刻向社会伸出援手更显得重要。他透露,以他和夫人梅林达的名字创立的基金会每年大约花33亿美元来资助免疫注射、照料艾滋病患者和从事疟疾研究,这相当于基金会资产的5%,“基金会在2009年将把资助额提高到38亿美元,相当于资产的7%。”

  盖茨也将鼓励各国政府在摆脱困境的同时也不要遗弃慈善工作。他在电话会议中说:“目前每年有100万名儿童死于疟疾,“我不认为人们会因为经济危机而放弃拯救疟疾病人的道德观。”

  盖茨在去年放下微软的日常运作职务,专心处理在1994年创立的盖茨基金会。他在股神巴菲特的邀请下,同意每年发表关于基金会状况的年报。巴菲特在2006年答应把85%的财富捐给盖茨基金会。
