从好的方面来看，美国劳动力市场正在加速，欧洲的企业高管变得乐观，全球疫苗接种活动减少了新冠死亡人数。坏的方面，Hatzius注意到美国需求增长放缓，劳动力短缺影响产量，delta变异毒株正在开始蔓延。Economists at Goldman Sachs said their optimistic forecasts for global growth this year were shared by a growing number of competitors, falling the smallest distance from the Wall Street consensus since April 2020.
Goldman Sachs expects the global economy to grow 6.6 per cent this year and 4.8 per cent in 2022, compared with 6.3 per cent and 4.8 per cent for other banks, Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said in a report on Tuesday.
"as we expected, the recent fundamental growth news has become more mixed," Hatzius wrote.
On the plus side, the US labour market is accelerating, European executives are becoming optimistic and global vaccination campaigns have reduced COVID-19 's death toll. On the downside, Hatzius notes that demand growth in the United States is slowing, labor shortages are affecting production, and delta mutants are beginning to spread.
Goldman Sachs forecasts that the US economy will grow by 6.8 per cent in 2021 and 4.7 per cent next year, while the euro zone will grow by 5.2 per cent and 4.5 per cent respectively.
The US economy is unlikely to overheat because growth will slow as epidemic restrictions are lifted and financial support weakens, Hatzius said. He expects the Fed to announce a scaling back of its bond-buying program before December.
