Speakers in the first day’s sessions reviewed their visions and points of view on the post-pandemic world and economies, and the way by which the world can overcome the shock to the economy and trade resulted by the pandemic. The speakers affirmed the importance of a balanced relationship between the public and the private sector, the digital economy in the future, the role of the economy and business and their contribution to creating a just and equitable world for all.

The first day of the Forum also touched on the future of vaccinations in the African continent, and the and the current gap between developed and poor countries in providing the vaccines.
