Predictions
- Uneven global exit from pandemic will ensure divergence in economic recoveries this year, raising risk of instability across emerging markets
- IMF projections for strong rebound in advanced economies will likely be realised as a result of stimulus measures and mass vaccinations
- Forecasts in emerging markets will however likely prove overly optimistic given threats posed by new COVID-19 variants
Event
