(7 December 2020) Vaccination campaigns, concerted health policies, and government financial support are expected to lift global GDP by 4.2 percent in 2021 after an estimated 4.2 percent decrease this year. The latest 2020 global GDP estimate is an upward revision even despite concerns expressed by the OECD in the June Economic Outlook that the world economy could contract to the tune of 6-8 percent depending on the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • The OECD anticipates a stronger economic recovery in 2021 if vaccines roll out quickly, boosting confidence and lowering uncertainty.
  • China will be the only country among the world's largest economies with a positive GDP growth rate in 2020 (1.8%) and is expected to surpass its economic peers again in 2021 with an 8 percent GDP growth rate.
