Good morning from the Financial Times. Today is Friday, June 11th, and this is your F-teen news briefing.

0:10.2

G-7 leaders have a plan to send more vaccines to poorer countries. We'll talk about higher inflation

0:16.8

and the market's non-reaction. And our economic editor, Chris Giles, will look at some of the

0:22.4

challenges to reaching a deal on taxing global companies. We're far from a global deal being done,

0:28.5

and there are countries that need to people to offer certainty.

0:32.1

I'm Lauren Fedor, in for Mark Filipino, and here's the news you need to start your day.

and the Cayman Islands. I spoke to the FT's economic editor, Chris Giles, and he told me which

1:44.9

countries will benefit. The single country that's clearly I think going to gain the most

1:48.8

from the package together with the US. That's because it has a lot of very big domestic

1:56.0

multinationals, with their US companies, which do a huge amount of shifting their profits around

2:01.2

the world to tax havens or to Ireland or places like that. The global minimum, which is what the

2:07.2

Biden administration is most keen on, is designed to make that much, much more difficult.

2:12.8

In pillar one, where is tax paid? Even there, because the US is a big consuming market.
