Our traditional (by now) top 10 predictions face a much more difficult task this year in anticipating what may be, as certainties are few to spare at the beginning of 2021 following one of the rockiest years we have seen in a while. We will try to do our best to remain relevant, but as far as we’re concerned, the general atmosphere right now could be summarized in: if it is good, it will be a great year, if it’s bad, it may turn out terrible, so lower chances for a mid-ground scenario.
2021 is expected to be a year of recovery, but many uncertainties remain, like those related to the vaccines’ ability to return everyday life more or less back to normal or to potential jitters about the monetary policy at the major central banks’, which would have deep ramifications in the global economy. Working from home will become a common practice within many companies even after the Covid-19 pandemic, a more significant return to offices of employees being expected around the middle of 2021 if the inoculation with vaccines is successful.
