�WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 25th February, 2021) US Treasury Secretary on Thursday called on her G20 counterparts to "go big" with economic stimulus in response to the global economic crisis and step up their support for global COVID-19 vaccination programs.
"I urge G20 countries to continue to take significant fiscal and financial policy actions and avoid withdrawing support too early. If there was ever a time to go big, this is the moment," Yellen said in a letter to G20 colleagues.
