Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi decodes the entire study for investors and goes deep into the reasons highlighted by Morgan Stanley, which made it come out with such a bold announcement. Speaking on the reason for such bullish announcement, Anil Singhvi said, "Morgan Stanley is of the opinion that the recovery in the global economy will be V-shaped not 'W' or 'U.' The reason for such V-shaped sharp recovery is sharp rise in GDP as the Coronavirus is a health-related issue and the economy is still well in control."

Singhvi said that if we compare the current slowdown in the global economy, the recovery will be very sharp and the fall will be limited.

Highlighting upon the reasons that helped Morgan Stanley to come out with such findings Singhvi said, "Morgan Stanley is of the opinion that global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the Q1CY21 is expected to remain around 3 per cent but in Q2CY21 this number is expected to hit 8.6 per cent. This is possible only because there is sharp recovery coming and Coronavirus impact on the global economy is not going to live long."
