Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound
impact on the global economy, triggering the deepest global
recession of the past eight decades. Together, the crisis
and public health response have caused both a severe supply
shock in the form of reduced worker availability and supply
chaindisruptions, and a massive demand shock as consumption
became restricted and confidence fell. The World Bank
forecasts a 5.2 percent contraction in global GDP in 2020,
including a 2.5 percent decline in emerging markets and
developing economies (World Bank 2020).
