IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath yesterday(2nd Sept.2020) tweeted a graph suggesting India's gross domestic product (GDP) may have shrunk the most among G-20 countries in the April-June quarter, at 25.6%, when compared with the previous quarter. In her tweet, accompanying the graph, Gopinath said, “In #GreatLockdown Q2 (June quarter) 2020 GDP growth at historical lows. The graph puts G20 growth numbers on a comparable scale, quarter-on-quarter non-annualised. Should expect rebounds in Q3 (September quarter) but 2020 overall will see major contractions. China recovers strongly in Q2 after a collapse in Q1 (March quarter)." The chart shows all countries except China registering GDP contraction. While China's economy is shown to have expanded by a robust 12.3 percent over the March quarter on a non-annualised basis, the UK is the most affected after India, with a GDP contraction of 20.4 percent. The US economy is shown to have shrunk 9.1 percent on a quarterly basis.
