United Nations: Growth of World Output and GDP
UN Chief Economist Elliott Harris:
“Vaccine inequity between countries and regions is posing a significant risk to an already uneven and fragile global recovery. Timely and universal access to COVID-19 vaccinations will mean the difference between ending the pandemic promptly and placing the world economy on the trajectory of a resilient recovery, or losing many more years of growth, development and opportunities.”
Chief of the Global Economic Monitoring Branch & UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the lead author of the report, Hamid Rashid:
“The pandemic has pushed nearly 58 million women and girls into extreme poverty, dealing a huge blow to poverty reduction efforts worldwide, and exacerbated gender gaps in income, wealth and education, impeding progress on gender equality.
Fiscal and monetary measures to steer recovery must take into account the differentiated impact of the crisis on different population groups, including women, to ensure an economic recovery that is inclusive and resilient”
