India Today reports that the Congress leader has shared a chart predicting IMF growth.
The IMF said in a recent report that the global economic crisis would not be as severe as it was feared this year. but that global GDP would still be 4.4 percent, and that the epidemic meant that the outlook was uncertain.
Global lenders say countries like India, Spain and Italy will face double-digit economic downturns in 2020, while the UK is missing that threshold with only 9.8% contraction.
