The Global Economy’s Chinese Headwinds

Last year, the global economy was supposed to start returning to normal, with interest rates rising in the US and the UK, inflation emerging in Japan, and a private credit-led recovery beginning in the eurozone. Twelve months later, normality seems as distant as ever – and economic headwinds from China are a major cause.
