The reference to #trade by the #SDGs does not appreciate the fundamental importance of trade and a fair global trading environment. Instead, SDGs refer to the #WTO, a biased system, institutionally rigged against the #GlobalSouth, writes Kunibert Raffer.

Such an important paper looking at data from 79 countries, showing how @IMFNews continues to impose austerity on poor countries, with different standards for rich countries.

At #Vaccines4All event @DrTedros says if the major countries agree 2 solve vaccine equity they can do it. They have everything to do it. Calls out TRIPS waiver as elephant in the room. "Mother of all bottlenecks is lack of political will & weak global solidarity." #PeoplesVaccine

Supply bottlenecks and shrtages are emerging in the #vaccination process in the poorer countries of the world. it needn't have been so if patents had been waived in this health crisis.

A whole set of useful options in this important piece, for unused SDRs that surplus countries could deploy - including to restructure debt owed to private creditors.

The #G20 offer only empty words as the richest banks on earth continue to bleed countries of the global South during #COVID19. Even debt relief will continue to be diverted into corporate coffers.

#China’s transformation, from being the #manufacturing hub of the world to being a global hub for R&D and innovation, poses a challenge that attracts adverse attention from the rest of the world, write @cpc01 and @Jayati1609.
This was such an interesting discussion, with many insights from terrific panelists on how both concepts and policy approaches to formalisation need to be changed, with a gender lens.
