Forecast real GDP growth of G20 countries 2013-2026

The novel coronavirus pandemic, or COVID-19, had a severe impact on the global economy, causing a decrease of the G20 countries' gross domestic product (GDP) of three percent in 2020. However, the following year, the GDP of these countries grew by over six percent. It continued to grow in the following years, albeit at a slower pace, and is forecast to continue to do so in 2025 and 2026.
