Hemmati further said that there were morally no limitations to export COVID vaccines and the relevant medical equipment.
"IMF and WB have a key role to play in supporting member countries to mitigate the health and economic effects of the pandemic and the various stages of recovery," he noted.
Hemmati that the IMF was expected to fulfill the members' legal demands, away from any political lobbies and pressures.
