The IFAC fiscal assessment forecasted real GDP growth of 8% in 2021. I am concerned this is optimistic, especially considering the possibility of a second wave of Covid-19 and renewed restrictions, as we see in China. Does the favourable forecast assume a UK-EU trade deal will be reached by the first deadline of 31 December?
