The COVID-19 pandemic has produced the most pronounced economic shock in nearly a century. In 2020, recessions around the world were sharp and deep, with significant supply-chain disruptions at times. While the global economy continues to recover as we head into 2021, the battle between the virus and humanity’s efforts to stanch it continues.
