Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley says there is a need to create an international clearinghouse for the purchase and sale of COVID-19 vaccines.
Mottley expressed this view on Thursday as she virtually addressed the 13th International Economic Forum on Latin America and the Caribbean.
“It cannot be that countries that are here have to be the victim of middlemen, in circumstances where global pharmaceutical companies are saying they only deal with countries. But in reality, they have dealt with . . . very few of the small countries, but have had small countries having to deal with middlemen, who are selling the vaccines at a premium. . . .

Mottley in yet another call for global reform
Article by May 28, 2021
Prime Minister Mia Mottley Thursday reiterated her call for the reform of global institutions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking at the 13th International Economic Forum on Latin America and the Caribbean, Mottley said equitable access to vaccines and financing for small countries were among the most pressing issues.
She declared: “What 2020 revealed was the absolute need for the urgent reform of our international institutions. It also revealed that there is an absence of global, moral strategic leadership, for if that leadership existed we would not in my view still be fighting in the way in which we are fighting on so many levels, from the containment of this virus with the absence of vaccine equity and with the terrible debt crisis and financial crisis that potentially could be spawned from this health pandemic.
