Global Economic Recovery Accelerates

Global economic recovery is accelerating as vaccination rates increase and countries fully open their economies. We’ve raised our forecasts for growth for a number of countries including the United States, Europe, Mexico, Australia and Taiwan just to name a few. Some areas of the world continue to struggle, and we’ve lowered growth estimates for Japan, India, Indonesia and Turkey. Overall, we expect the global economy to expand 6.1 percent in 2021 and a further 4 percent in 2022.
