The IMF's predicted "bounce back" is even more amazing than the OBR's. Global economy to contract by 3% in 2020, then expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, really. In 2021 there will be TWO YEARS' GROWTH.

This is supposed to be a serious forecast?

Here's Bloomberg's chart showing the IMF's predictions. Words fail.

Haha. Bloomberg's chart is fatally undermined by the paragraph that follows it:

"output in both advanced and emerging markets would undershoot their pre-virus trends through 2021, seemingly dashing any lingering hopes of a V-shaped economic rebound from the health emergency."
