Economic outlook
In its economic forecast from January 2021, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects global economic growth to return to 5.5 % in 2021 after the historic downturn in 2020. We also expect to see a tangible economic recovery in our core markets, although it will likely be the end of 2021/the start of 2022 before economic activity returns to pre-coronavirus levels.
