Tim Harford showcases statistics from 2020

Tim Harford showcases statistics that tell a story from 2020

From the economic impact of Covid 19 to the number of people who have access to soap and water,  we showcase figures that tell us something about 2020. Tim Harford asks a group of numbers-minded people to take a look back on the year and think of one statistic that really stands out for them. 

We speak to Razia Khan, the head of research and chief economist for Africa and the Middle East at Standard Chartered; Sana Safi, presenter for BBC Pashto TV at the BBC's Afghanistan Service; and Jennifer Rogers, vice president for external affairs at the Royal Statistical Society.
