In the aftermath of the breakout of the coronavirus pandemic in 2019, the world has been plunged into a whirl of unknowns. The economy is no exception to this development, plunging into a recession caused by the pandemic, marked by market liquidity, high inflation, and strained labor markets. Subsequent to these developments, the year 2022 is now being dubbed by investors and financial institutions as the critical year of recovery, during which the pandemic-wrought economic imbalances will get resolved, and the business cycle will recover. Morgan Stanley is one such commenter, as evidenced by their 2022 outlook report.
While the bank does not promise a return to the pre-pandemic market, it has commented that the economic and market environment in 2022 will be reflationary and marked by higher economic growth than 2021, alongside higher inflation and higher real interest rates. In such a market, Morgan Stanley has recommended that investors should focus on "technology takers," or companies that are equipped to increase tech adoption.
