520  ‎$a‎The world economy is recovering strongly from the COVID-19 crisis. The swift deployment of vaccines and large-scale fiscal stimulus, including unprecedented direct transfers to households and businesses, are fuelling a stronger economic bounceback in 2021 than we had projected last year. We forecast historically high global real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 5.8% in 2021 after a 3.7% contraction in 2020. This reflects robust growth in the US (6.5%) and China (8.3%), driven by services consumption.1 However, uncertainty around the emergence of more transmissible COVID-19 variants and the ability of vaccines to keep the pandemic under control suggests that the recovery may be more uneven and protracted than our base- ase forecasts. Insurance demand will benefit from the growth momentum, but a firmer inflation environment is a concern. Policymaking will soon turn to fiscal consolidation, but we believe optimal policy must take a longterm view in areas such as digitisation, climate change and income inequality
