I’VE SEEN THE LOCKDOWNS AND THE DAMAGE DONE: Global economy set for its worst half decade of growth in 30 years, World Bank says.

Global growth is forecast to slow for the third year in a row in 2024, dipping to 2.4% from 2.6% in 2023, the organization said in its latest “Global Economic Prospects” report released Tuesday.

Growth is then expected to rise marginally to 2.7% in 2025, though acceleration over the five-year period will remain almost three-quarters of a percentage point below the average rate of the 2010s.

We were someday going to have to pay the bill for shutting down the global economy and then pumping the economy full of funny money, and here it is.
