KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (NNN-Bernama) — Moody\u2019s Analytics is expecting the global real gross domestic product (GDP) to rebound 5.7 per cent in 2021, following the historic 3.6 per cent contraction in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the relatively strong outlook is based on the pas\u00adsage of the new fiscal stimulus in the United States (US), a firming revival in Europe, and material improvement in the global vaccination momen\u00adtum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“However, global recovery will continue to be uneven across regions and the dual-track recovery will persist until the new resurgences are brought under control and the global vaccine distribution is scaled up,” Moody\u2019s Analytics said in its ‘Global Outlook: Resurgence Risks to Recovery’ report released today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the US is expected to lead the gains with a strong 6.4 per cent rebound in 2021, followed by Asia with a 6.1 per cent expansion, anchored by China\u2019s stabilising growth and India\u2019s turnaround in the post-restrictions phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conversely, African economies are likely to see slower growth at 4.3 per cent, following the record three per cent decline in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research firm also noted that the ongoing lockdowns worldwide underscore the fragility of recovery and the varied challenges in getting economies on a sustained recovery path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn severely impacted countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines, restrictions have lacked effectiveness in containing outbreaks, thereby mandating an extension of inhibiting curbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile others such as Indonesia have adopted a less conservative approach, there is a real risk that the economic costs of relaxing restrictions too soon may significantly outweigh the short-term gains from reopenings,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moody\u2019s Analytics also opined that geopolitical risks would assume an important role in the post-COVID-19 recovery phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot only will the prolonged US-China tensions shape investor preferences, but also evolving geopolitical dynamics among the large economies in the Asia-Pacific region could have significant ramifications on global trade and investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is against the tense backdrop of technology and security-driven disputes and the larger rhetoric of diversifying supply-chain dependencies away from China,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
