Economist Christophe Barraud has been ranked Bloomberg's most accurate forecaster of US economic data eight years in a row.
And according to Business Insider, he's made a fairly gloomy prognostication about the US economy.
Barraud predicts the US won't return to its fourth-quarter 2019 GDP of 2.1% until at least 2022.
European countries aren't likely to bounce back until 2023.
Global economies could be dragged down even further by the US presidential election, and a possible second wave of the pandemic.
It will take a long time for life to return to normal. Christophe Barraud Chief Economist, Market Securities
