The global recovery faces increased pressure as the Omicron mutation continues to spread…
In an interview with CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia,” Moody’s managing director of creditor services and research, Atsi Sheth, said emerging markets will likely continue to struggle compared with more advanced economies.
This is particularly true for areas with disappointing vaccination rates due to the recent rise of the Omicron COVID-19 variant. While many parts of the world have begun to rebound, their recoveries have remained in a fragile place – as demand has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.

This has helped it grow its digital-retail market share to about 28%. It has also allowed it to become the primary platform Chinese consumers use to purchase high-quality products.
