This issue includes a general assessment of the macroeconomic situation, a series of notes on the current policy challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and a chapter summarising developments and providing projections for each individual country.

Following a relatively mild contraction, GDP is projected to grow by around 3% in 2021 and 2022 on average, as confidence strengthens and investment picks up slowly with the rollout of an effective vaccine. Unemployment has risen in the wake of the crisis and, despite some gradual decline, it will remain above the pre-pandemic level. Inflation will move upwards in tandem with the revival of economic activity.
