Mkuu wa Shirika la Fedha (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva ameonya kuwa Uchumi wa Dunia umeendelea kuathiriwa na janga la Virusi vya Corona
Amesema kikwazo kikubwa ni mgawanyo wa Chanjo kati ya Mataifa tajiri na masikini, na kwamba katika miaka 5 ijayo Uchumi unaweza kuathiriwa kwa kiasi kikubwa ikiwa pengo hilo halitazibwa
Ametoa rai kwa Mataifa tajiri kutekeleza ahadi zao za kugawa chanjo kwa Nchi masikini

The head of the International Monetary Fund has warned the world economy remains “hobbled” by the Covid-19 pandemic as she revealed her organisation has revised down its forecast for global growth this year.
Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF’s managing director, said the most serious obstacle to a full recovery was the vaccine divide between rich and poor nations and warned the global economy could suffer a cumulative $5.3tn loss over the next five years unless it was closed.
Speaking ahead of the IMF’s annual meeting next week, Georgieva called on rich countries to make good immediately on their pledges to share stockpiles of vaccines with developing countries.
“We face a global recovery that remains hobbled by the pandemic and its impact,” she said. “We are unable to walk forward properly –
“The most immediate obstacle is the ‘great vaccination divide’ – too many countries with too little access to vaccines, leaving too many people unprotected from Covid.”
In July, the IMF predicted 6% growth for the global economy in 2021, but Georgieva said this would be scaled back in new forecasts to be published in next week’s World Economic Outlook.
After a summer hit by supply-chain bottlenecks and rising inflationary pressures, the IMF chief said momentum in the US and China – the world’s two biggest economies – was slowing.
Although next week’s outlook will still predict a strong bounceback from the decline in global output seen in 2020, Georgieva said “the risks and obstacles to a balanced global recovery have become even more pronounced: the stones in our shoes have become more painful”.
