In December 2021, the OECD projected global GDP growth of 4.5% in 2022 and 3.2% in 2023.3 National accounts data in early 2022 were broadly in line with this forecast, with business activity recovering quickly in most countries following a decline in the number of people infected with the Omicron strain. However, higher food and energy prices, supply constraints associated with the pandemic, and a rapid recovery in demand since mid-2020 have accelerated inflation in most OECD countries, especially in the United States, Latin America, and many Central and Eastern European countries.
