Washington Business economists have feared that the US will face the worst recession this year in more than seven decades. He also feared that the corona virus epidemic might return, which would bring a major crisis for the economy. The results of a survey conducted in this regard by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) released on Monday. It estimates that the GDP in the US will decline 5.9 percent in 2020 due to the corona virus epidemic.
This decline will be the highest since 1946, when the US GDP decreased by 11.6% due to World War II. A team of 48 NABE experts has estimated that the US GDP will decline by five percent in the January-March quarter, while in the April-June quarter thereafter, the decline will be a record 33.5 percent. The NABE team, however, estimates that the growth rate will be better in the second half of 2020 and is expected to be 9.1 percent in the July-September quarter and 6.8 percent in the October-December quarter. These economists estimate that in 2021 the growth rate of American will be 3.6 percent.
