While the Covid-19 pandemic endures, the global economy is firmly in the recovery phase. We expect global GDP to bounce back 5.3% this year. But the global recovery is taking a breather as the reopening surge subsides in major economies. As the recovery phase matures, growth rates will slow – policy drags will emerge as emergency stimulus is withdrawn and monetary support is reined in. Global growth rates will drop back to pre-pandemic pace around 2.6% per annum in 2024.
