    Dub,

    As far as I can see, the figures shown in the image posted by you and designed to cash our eyes seem not to be forecasts. Actually they seem to be actual figures for 2020. They, therefore, are inductive of a misleading impression as in terms of that very same article global GDP growth forecasts for 2021 and 2022 sit at +6.0% and +4.4% respectively.

    As a matter of fact inside of the article what is stated is this: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reiterated its expectations of a strong economic recovery over the next few years. Economists acknowledged that, while the path of the pandemic remains uncertain, global vaccine rollouts represent the light at the end of the tunnel. As a result,global GDP growth forecasts for 2021 and 2022 sit at +6.0% and +4.4% respectively.
