Data insights

Don’t stop me now

Prospects for the world economy are improving – but this is no ordinary recovery: it is likely to remain uneven and will depend on the effectiveness of vaccination programmes and public health policies.

Some countries will recover much faster than others. While Korea and the US are back to pre-pandemic per capita income levels within 18 months of the onset of the pandemic, for much of Europe it may take closer to three years, while in Mexico and South Africa it could take between three and five years.
