I've been looking around for some per-country estimation of the expected GDP drop due to the COVID pandemic.

I've found this answer in this site but it only mentions a few countries. I understand not all countries will have such an estimation, but maybe for the G20 or similar groups?

There are some cross-country studies but not that many of them yet. For example, Maliszewska, M., Mattoo, A., & Van Der Mensbrugghe, D. (2020) from world bank provide some cross-country estimates of the cumulative effect of covid-19 for various countries and regions across the world. Their estimated cumulative effect of covid on GDP (measured as deviation from their benchmark) is shown below.

However, I would advise to take these results with a pinch of salt. These are preliminary estimates that were published in April and better ones will be fore sure forthcoming in near future.

    $\begingroup$ @Gabriel those are different scenarios of how bad the pandemic will be - amplified is a scenario under which pandemic will be worse than in the “standard” pandemic scenario in first column. Authors also explain in greater detail how the scenarios differ in the paper itself $\endgroup$ – 1muflon1♦ Aug 9 '20 at 16:48
