The 🇬🇧UK’s growth has recovered, but inflation & lingering #COVID19 present challenges.

The task ahead: rebalancing macro policies to preserve the recovery while building additional financial system resilience and continuing to ensure financial stability. https://t.co/xAKWelcvSF

#Omicron is a stark reminder that the COVID-19 crisis is far from over. In my op-ed w/ 🇸🇳@Macky_Sall, we discuss how #Africa can deal with this uncertainty.

1. Speed up vaccinations
2. Secure sound public finances
3. Build resilient & inclusive economies
