GDP is projected to decrease by 8.6% in 2020, should a second virus outbreak take place by the end of 2020, while it would fall by 6.5% should a second wave of the pandemic be avoided. These negative shocks will have a long‑lasting impact on the economy in both scenarios, with GDP remaining below its pre‑crisis level at the end of 2021. The recovery will be slower in case of a second outbreak due to a more pronounced deterioration of the labour market and steeper losses in productive capacity.
