Global Insight 2022 Outlook

Cover of Global Insight 2022 OutlookThe two-year-old COVID-19 pandemic has left its mark on households, the corporate sector, and the economy, all of which have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances.

As 2022 looms, the initial “catch-up” phase of the global economic recovery after the shock of the pandemic is giving way to an expansion phase. In our view, the era of outsized, globally synchronised fiscal stimulus and unprecedented monetary stimulus is beginning to recede. From now until well into 2023, we see the trajectory of the world’s major economies being shaped by the normal progression of the business cycle.

The update focuses on finishing the fight against COVID-19 with strong public health policy and extending economic supports.

The government notably did not introduce any significant new tax measures. Rather, they provided an update on several of their Budget 2021 measures and promised to address others in their upcoming spring 2022 budget.
