Next 2022 will be a good year for the world economy. Such is the forecast of most international organizations that bet on growth and a continued trend that began in late 2020, when the countries started to recover from the tough blow inflicted by COVID-19.
The projection for 2022 displays significant growth in the global economy. Although not as ambitious as in previous years, next-year scenario will have its advantages and variation, particularly concerning increasing demand, low supply, and inflationary levels.
As many Latin American and Caribbean countries are coming back to normal, high consumption of goods and scarcity of commodities will landmark the economic way in 2022.
Both the weekly reports of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the annual report of the US investment bank Goldman Sachs put an emphasis on supply, demand and inflation, particularly because all of the three indicators will be highly influential on the regional economic growth, estimated to be at a slower pace.
According to Goldman Sachs, for the next 12 months the markets will continue attending sort of “horse race, albeit with a gradual slowdown in demand from very strong levels while little by little the supply shortage will ease.”
