Abstract. The most relevant trends in the modern world economic evolution are considered,
including shifts in the dynamics of gross product production at the global, regional and country
levels, and, in addition, changes in the sphere of international trade against the background of
increasing general turbulence. The article presents a comparative study of the latest changes in
these areas that emerged during the recovery period after the global crisis shocks, manifested
in the context of the cosmopolitan diff usion of viral infection, and then the subsequent ad option
of adequate protective measures in many countries of the world, that is, in 2021—2022.
In the absence of offi cially published fi nal results of the past year, only preliminary estimates
of its results and forecasts of the situation for the current and subsequent years (2023—2024)
are given. Thus, the dynamics of indicators for the four-year period is built, which allows us to
note its most signifi cant characteristics. The author’s analysis is undertaken on the basis of the
methodology of comparative statistical research using recently published offi cial estimates and
forecast data, actually introduced into Russian scientifi c circulation for the fi rst time.
