OECD Sees Global Economy Turning The Corner On Coronavirus Crisis

  • The outlook for the global economy is improving despite a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in many countries as vaccines emerge and a Chinese-led recovery takes hold, the OECD said on Tuesday.
  • The global economy will grow 4.2% next year and ease to 3.7% in 2022, after shrinking 4.2% this year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in its latest Economic Outlook.
  • After the second wave of infections hit Europe and the United States, the Paris-based policy forum trimmed its forecasts from September, when it expected a global contraction of 4.5% before a 5% recovery in 2021. It did not have a 2022 forecast at the time.
