BBC World Service - Business Matters, Vaccine equality and economic recovery

How can vaccine inequality and the consequent economic inequality be avoided?

Three of the most important people in global finance get together to discuss how to avert vaccine inequality and the economic inequality that will be made worse as a result.

Today - three of the most important people in global finance get together to thrash out ideas about ways of averting vaccine inequality and the economic inequality that will be made worse as a result. Saudi Arabia has begun operating its first renewable energy project - a solar power plant; we hear from Professor Karen Young, a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington DC. We look ahead to this year's Black British Business Awards with the event's organiser, Melanie Eusebe. A new hashtag is cropping up in Myanmar - #MilkTeaAlliance. So what's going on? We hear more from Iain Marlow of Bloomberg. Plus, the BBC’s Vincent Dowd reports on Broadway, the commercial theatre district in New York City, whose 41 theatres closed just over a year ago. And we're joined throughout the programme by David Kuo in Singapore; he's co-founder of the Smart Investor, and in Los Angeles we're joined by Emmy-award winning journalist Leyna Nguyen.
