“Besides surging Covid-19 cases, another concern to mitigate any optimism has been rising prices for everything including fuel and food. Inflation could dampen growth if it doesn't abate as soon as many predict it will. These are known risks at least. If the sunnier assessments prove accurate, we should shrug them off by the middle of next year. Given what we have been through over the past two years it would be understandable if the natural response of decision makers would be to remain cautious or even pessimistic. Instead, we could in fact experience outsized economic expansion in 2022 and beyond - far better than what we had before the pandemic and representing a return to levels of growth we saw before the financial crisis.”
