Jobs recovery will be dependent on the successful rollout of jabs

For the majority of countries, including Ireland, zero-Covid is a fantasy notion that simply cannot be pursued effectively

Global economic recovery from the Covid crisis is set to be uneven, given the differing pace of vaccine rollouts.

At the launch of the latest global economic outlook from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the organisation’s head of fiscal affairs, Vitor Gaspar, said that “global vaccination is probably the global public investment with the highest return ever considered. Vaccination policy is economic policy.” 

This pretty much sums up where we are at the moment and where we are likely to go over the coming months.
