Very few economists expect a strong economic recovery worldwide after the coronavirus health crisis ends, a new study found. The Reuters news agency says it spoke with more than 250 economists and only 15 predicted what is called a “V-Shaped” recovery. A V-shaped recovery is one where the numbers rise quickly after a sharp drop. Many of those questioned predicted a slower recovery or one with a lot of ups and downs before a long period of economic expansion. U.S. President Donald Trump has said the United States economy would “skyrocket” as soon as the health crisis passes. Some economists, however, say they believe a full recovery will take time. The economists who talked to Reuters say one of the biggest questions is how to fuel economic activity without causing a jump in COVID-19 cases. Health experts are worried about the disease spreading when people once again return to stores, travel, and play.
