Is Recession a Foregone Conclusion?

The Big One

Is Recession a Foregone Conclusion?

A global recession is coming. That’s what World Bank President David Malpass predicted at a meeting in the U.S. on Wednesday in his latest warning over the global economy. With an energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine and the impact of repeated lockdowns in China stymieing manufacturing and shipping, “It's hard right now to see how we avoid a recession,” said Malpass. Europe’s heavy reliance on Russian-produced energy has left it particularly vulnerable to a “substantial slowdown.” The world is already beginning to see the effects in the German economy, the fourth largest in the world.
