Economists split on global growth amid Covid, energy crisis and supply logjams

London

THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) and several senior economists predict that global growth will slow down in the coming 12 months as inflation abates.

There is, however, also a vocal minority out there who believe that this view is sanguine, and that the combined shock from the coronavirus pandemic, a growing energy crisis and continued supply logjams could cause an inflationary recession.
