The world's central bankers 'gather' in Jackson Hole

The virtual meeting in the US state of Wyoming will look at challenges like inflation

Central bankers from around the world are about to meet - virtually - to discuss challenging issues like inflation. They were supposed to be getting together in person at the Jackson Hole resort in Wyoming in the US. But a rise in cases of the Delta variant of coronavirus means the event has been turned into an online affair. We speak to Mohamed el-Erian, former chief executive of bond fund Pimco, about where we are in the global recovery. In Sweden, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maddy Savage reports on controversial proposals to abolish rent controls for new apartments built in the country. And the English city of Liverpool lost its UNESCO World Heritage designation after 17 years. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Victoria Craig explores why.
