In Q1’21, with a variety of vaccines available on the market, the global economy has rebounded on an accelerated track after registering positive growth in the fourth quarter of 2020, but performance of different countries varies greatly. 2021 marks the start of China's 14th Five-Year Plan period and China's economy is enjoying a sustained and stable recovery. In Q1’20, China's GDP experienced negative growth, down by 6.8% YoY. In Q1’21, China's GDP increased significantly YoY and the trade surplus expanded. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield increased by an average of 47bp compared with the previous quarter. The U.S. dollar depreciated first and then rose; the British pound was relatively stable, the Australian dollar depreciated slightly, and the euro and the yen depreciated by a large margin. The currency exchange rates of most emerging economies rose first and then fell, with little fluctuation over Q4’20. Capital flew back to the United States, and emerging economies were facing the challenge of capital outflow. U.S. stocks began to diverge with the Dow Jones Industrial Index continuing to rise and the Nasdaq Index beginning to go downward. In the latest issue of the World Economic Outlook Report, IMF’s projections for the global economic growth for 2021 and 2022 grew, which may cause widening gap in living standards among countries. China's GDP has returned to the pre-Covid level and the United States is expected to return to the level before the outbreak this year, but many emerging markets will not return to the pre-pandemic level until 2023. Overall, the global economy is projected to grow 6% in 2021 and 4.4% in 2022. While the global economy became stabilized, the recovery process is divided and uncertain.
