New Delhi, Nov 17 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the 3rd Annual Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Tuesday evening on issues centered on refuelling the economy and charting a course for the future as the world economy is grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic.

This year, as the world economy is grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the forum will witness discussions centered on refuelling the economy and charting a course for the future.
