Central bankers from around the globe 'gather' in Jackson Hole

Central bankers gather virtually in Jackson Hole

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Central bankers gather virtually in Jackson Hole

The meeting in the US state of Wyoming will discuss challenges like inflation

Central bankers from around the world are about to meet - virtually - to discuss challenging issues like inflation. We hear from Mohamed el-Erian, former chief executive of bond fund Pimco, about where we are in the global recovery. And a new study involving very young children in Mali and Burkina Faso suggests that a new vaccine combination developed by the UK-based pharma company GSK could reduce deaths and illness from malaria by 70% and millions of lives could be saved every year. We hear more from Dr Daniel Chandramohan, Professor of Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; he co-authored the report on the trials. Plus, Canadians go to the polls soon to give their verdict on the last six years of minority government by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party; we look at the issues at stake. And the English city of Liverpool lost its UNESCO World Heritage designation after 17 years; the BBC's Victoria Craig takes a look at why. And we're joined throughout the programme by Mitchell Hartman of Marketplace - he's in Oregon. 
And Rebecca Jones, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Australia and New Zealand dials in from Melbourne. (Photo: shopfront in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Credit: AaronP/Bauer-Griffin /Getty).
