After the emergence of the Omicron variant, the meeting will be online only for the second year in a row.

He said that the economic system is flawed.
The charity cited figures from Forbes that show the world's 10 richest men are: Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Ballmer and Warren Buffet.

The president of the World Bank, David Malpass, voiced his concerns over widening global inequality, arguing that the impact of inflation and measures to tackle it were likely to cause more damage to poorer countries.
He said that the outlook for the weaker countries was still to fall further and further behind.
