The world needs a COVID-19 Vaccine Investment and Trade Agreement

Chad P. Bown (PIIE) and Thomas J. Bollyky (Council on Foreign Relations)

The World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial conference in November can make progress towards the moral and economic imperative of vaccinating the global population by getting trade officials to reengage with the challenge, accelerate vaccine production, and support a COVID-19 Vaccine Investment and Trade Agreement that includes the United States, European Union, and India.

The Peterson Institute for International Economics building is closed to staff and visitors until further notice. PIIE personnel are working remotely, with access to telephone messages.
