Abstract:
|
Covid-19 can be described as a disruption to the world order - a disruption that has
tested the formidability of democracies, economies, financial markets and
development programmes.
The Quarterly Economic Bulletin (QEB) is presented at a time where countries are
racing to immunise its population against the subtle virus, that has the potency to
mutate if not terminated well in time, and complicate strategies developed to
disempower it. America, Europe and Asia have been in the forefront of developing
Covid-19 vaccines and by comparative advantage managed to accelerate inoculation
of its population. This has created vaccine inequality in the world where developing
countries and some of the emerging markets lag in vaccination. |
