Nearly three years since Covid-19 ravaged the world's economy and nothing has been the same since. Throw in a war in Europe, and China that still wants to completely eradicate the virus, and you have a recipe for continued uncertainty. Brian Coulton, Chief Economist at Fitch Ratings, helps us unpack the latest Global Economic Outlook that forecasts a global recession amidst rising inflation while trying to pick out some sliver of hope along the way.
