The document outlines 5 worst possible economic scenarios for 2022 and beyond, compared to a baseline scenario of continued global economic recovery. The 5 scenarios are: 1) emergence of deadlier COVID-19 strains, 2) a severe "taper tantrum" as central banks reduce stimulus, 3) a new economic crisis down the road triggered by asset bubbles, 4) an economic crisis in China from its large real estate sector, and 5) rising geopolitical tensions and trade wars between the US and China. For each scenario, the document discusses potential impacts and recommendations for how countries can prepare and overcome the challenges.
