We fear that 2022 will be a worse year for global growth than is widely thought for three reasons: Chinese growth is likely to be weak, which will have a knock-on effect on many countries; Structural fiscal deficits will be reduced significantly; Consumers are likely to remain cautious; moreover, income distribution is skewed against wage earners. Weaker-than-expected global growth in 2022 would reinforce the downturn in commodity prices and the decline in inflation.
