Indermit Gill, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President for Development Economics at the World Bank, said that a lost decade is being formed for the world economy. Gill believes that «the continued decline in potential growth has serious implications for the world's ability to address an increasingly wide range of current challenges, such as entrenched poverty, income disparities and climate change.» According to the economist's calculations, the decline in potential growth can be reversed with the help of policies that encourage labor, increase productivity and accelerate investment. According to the World Bank report, if countries adopt a sustainable, growth–oriented policy, the potential growth rate of global GDP can be increased by 0.7 percentage points to an average annual rate of 2.9%. Also, according to the updated forecast of the World Bank, from 2022 to 2030, the average potential growth rate of global GDP will be 2.2% per year.
