“The pick-up in global growth was “slow and uneven”, and a fair distribution of vaccines was key to achieving a sustainable recovery.”

“The international community should work together to resist ‘vaccine nationalism,’ strengthen cooperation and policy coordination to fight against COVID-19, and improve the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries in a meaningful way.”

“The sound monetary policy will be implemented in a flexible, targeted, reasonable, and appropriate manner.”
