The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed the worst health, economic and social crisis of our lifetimes, claiming over a million lives. We now expect global GDP to fall by 4.5% this year. Some of the hardest hit G20 economies will see their GDP shrink by 10% or more.

We are in the midst of an unprecedented health, economic and social crisis. Before COVID-19, we expected world GDP growth to be 2.9% in 2020, now we project it to fall by 4.5%. The decline would have been much larger without the strong and effective policy support introduced by many economies.
