IMF predicts that the global economy will recover rapidly this year.
The global economic growth rate released by the IMF was 6%, a 0.5% increase from 5.5% released in January this year.
It is predicted that the corona crisis will calm down in the second half of this year as the speed of vaccine distribution in the United States and other major countries around the world is accelerating.
In addition, the reason for the economic recovery was the fact that the US provided massive financial support and that companies have adapted to the rapidly changing environment after the coronavirus.
