We’re in for a ‘partial V-’ shaped economic recovery - Goldman Sachs economists
|Economists at Goldman Sachs are forecasting a partial V-shaped recovery in the US economy, which would include a reversal of more than half the 2020 economic contraction by September, but no full recovery in GDP to pre-coronavirus levels until mid-2021, according to MarketWatch. The forecast, however, is based on the assumption that there is premature fiscal tightening or resurgence in the number of coronavirus cases.
