The recovery of the global economy is underway.
In its latest forecast released Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund expects growth of 6% this year.
But not all countries will benefit in the same way.
In question, mainly, the access or not to vaccines against the coronavirus.
DECRYPTION
Towards two-speed economic growth at the global level.

First in the United States, the IMF is banking on 7% growth this year for the world's leading power.
This is 0.6 points higher than what was advertised.
And next year this growth should be around 5%, or nearly 1.4 points more.
Access to vaccines and recovery plans are stimulating the country.
$ 50 billion to accelerate immunization globally
The situation is totally different in India.
Very affected by the Delta variant, the country has very little vaccine stock.
Growth is expected to be three percentage points lower than the latest forecast.
Even China is expected to do worse than expected.

Once again, the numbers speak for themselves: nearly 40% of the population in advanced economies is fully vaccinated, compared to 11% in emerging market economies and a tiny fraction in low-income developing countries, details the IMF. The institution recently proposed a $ 50 billion plan to vaccinate at least 40% of the world's population by the end of the year.
