The global impact of the coronavirus has far stretching implications for the global economy and markets. The disease is now reported in more than 85 countries with more than 95,000 cases and 3,200 deaths recorded. Yet these cases might just be the tip of the iceberg with many more cases circulated undetected. We run through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the virus and it's long-term implications.
The global economy is expected to continue expanding in 2020, with the US economy extending its longest expansion on record. Global growth is likely to re-accelerate modestly as risks from trade wars diminish, benefiting Asian emerging economies and western Europe. Inflation has remained low despite a long period of growth. While jobs are plentiful in the US and globally, real wage and per capita income growth have slowed. The biggest risks to the economy stem from political uncertainties and not economic factors themselves. Rising political uncertainties have taken a toll on business investment.

Why Today Is Different From The Great Depressiongueste37a64
While there are some similarities between today's financial crisis and the Great Depression, such as excessive debt and asset price deflation, there are also key differences:
1) The economic contraction today is far less severe, with estimates of unemployment peaking at around 10% compared to 25% during the Depression.
2) The banking system, while distressed, is not near collapse as hundreds of banks failed during the Depression due to lack of deposit insurance.
3) Monetary policy response has been extraordinary, with the Federal Reserve taking ambitious action unlike the passive role during the 1930s.
4) Government policy response has already been more forceful than in the early years of the Depression, enacting stimulus packages, bank
For all the Fed’s unprecedented efforts, markets are back on solid footing for now. We could point to central bank moves as successful or come to grips with reality – the Fed has been nationalized. Its cash cannon now belongs to the US Treasury and is preventing economic darwinsim by aiming at bad corporate actors, instead of targeting the most affected people.

The document discusses the Omicron variant and the Fed's plans to taper its asset purchase program. It notes that Omicron cases are rising rapidly but causing less severe outcomes than previous variants. It also analyzes inflation trends, energy prices, economic growth, and the impact of the end of government stimulus and Fed tapering on markets. Scenarios discussed include whether Omicron could accelerate the end of the pandemic or if inflation may dissipate as pandemic issues ease, allowing the Fed to avoid overtightening.

2) It provides updates on economic indicators like CPI, retail sales, and consumer sentiment. Inflation is rising faster than wages, eroding consumer purchasing power.
3) The Federal Reserve has limited ability to address supply-driven inflation and cannot influence commodity prices directly. Persistently high inflation poses challenges for the Fed.
This document summarizes Dr. Usman W. Chohan's presentation on debt issues in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that the pandemic has created both health and economic crises. Lockdowns have pushed many households and businesses over the edge financially. Global debt levels reached a record high in 2019 and many debts are coming due for emerging markets. It proposes creating a central credit facility at a multilateral institution to help countries access funds to deal with the pandemic by diverting interest payments to the facility and allowing countries to borrow from it. However, private creditors may not be willing to cooperate with debt relief efforts. The presentation argues more systematic mechanisms are needed for sovereign debt restructuring.
Speaking to a crowd of more than 1,000 students and other members of the University of Texas at Austin community, Dean Tom Gilligan used colorful charts and detailed graphs to explore trends in prosperity and poverty around the world. He explained how gross domestic product (GDP) is used as a measurement tool, how “real GDP” and “GDP per capita” are calculated, and how these figures are used to compare economies across regions, across populations and across the world.
The document discusses the 2008 recession and its causes and impacts. It notes that while a recession is technically defined as declining economic activity over several months, the US was likely already in a recession. It identifies several factors contributing to the recession, including households having no savings, consumers being out of available credit, lower economic activity following interest rate cuts in 2001, and increased government spending driven by the wars in Iraq. It also discusses risks like rising inflation if the dollar declines in value or demand for treasury bonds decreases.
This document discusses hyperinflation in Zimbabwe and Germany. It provides details on the causes and effects of hyperinflation in these two countries. For Zimbabwe, the key drivers included land reforms, war funding, and economic mismanagement which led the government to print more money. This caused prices to increase rapidly, with the inflation rate reaching 79.6 million percent in November 2008. Effects included currency devaluation, severe food shortages, population displacement, and declining life expectancy. Lessons highlighted include how printing excessive money can lead to hyperinflation and that price controls do not effectively stop rising prices.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the global economic meltdown of 2008. It discusses several key causes, including unsustainable consumption and borrowing in the US fueled by surpluses from other countries like China. It also cites the greed of investment bankers and failure of regulators. The crisis has had severe impacts around the world and shown the failures of both capitalism and communism. Moving forward, there is a need for a more sustainable and balanced economic system that benefits all people equitably.
Global crisis 2008 vs global crisis 2020 Arti Sharmasuyash222
The 2008 global financial crisis was caused by excessive risk taking and insufficient regulation of complex financial products like mortgage-backed securities in the US housing market. This caused falling home prices, bad debts, and a crisis of confidence that spread globally. The impact was a severe global recession, falling stock markets, reduced trade and job losses.
The 2020 crisis was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic which caused a global economic slowdown due to nationwide lockdowns and disruptions. Other factors included an oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and stock market crashes. The impact has been high losses for many industries like aviation and tourism, as well as increased prices, slowed global trade, and a major worldwide recession.
Coronavirus-hit markets brace for the worst economic consequencesTatianaApostolovich
The coronavirus outbreak is leading investors to plan for situations more serious than a recession.
The S&P 500 has declined by 29.5% in two months.
The Federal Reserve's action to cut interest rates has been perceived as a "total breakdown of confidence".
PIMCO’s global economic advisor has warned a global recession is a "foregone conclusion".
The document examines how philanthropy and the stock market relate during times of economic crisis. It analyzes 13 major events between 1939-2008 and finds that while the stock market often drops initially after a crisis, it recovers within a year. Philanthropy has increased year-over-year in all but one case, even during recessions and stock market declines. Down markets do not necessarily lead to decreased giving. The data shows philanthropy remains resilient during economic storms.
Crypto and Housing - 2021 Spring Flings?hiddenlevers
This document discusses several scenarios related to real estate, cryptocurrency, commodities, and stocks. For real estate, it notes that the housing frenzy is driven by demographics like millennials becoming homebuyers and a long-standing housing deficit. Cryptocurrency adoption is accelerating due to involvement from large banks and institutions, though increased regulation may follow. Commodity prices are rising but bond yields and inflation concerns have calmed, potentially easing inflation risks.
This document discusses hyperinflation in Zimbabwe from 2000-2007. It notes that inflation rates reached as high as 25,000% during this period. Agricultural production, industrial production, and GDP all declined significantly as the money supply increased over 500 billion percent. This led to high unemployment and economic hardship. The government instituted several currency redenominations and price controls to try and curb inflation but these policies exacerbated shortages and economic problems. Currently Zimbabwe uses foreign currencies like the US dollar and South African rand in place of its own currency, which became essentially worthless due to hyperinflation.
Jobs recovery 26 aug 2021 - war-room slideshiddenlevers
The Fed’s asset purchasing should fall with the autumn leaves, but raising interest rates will depend on the jobs recovery. Enhanced unemployment, stimulus checks, food stamps and other aid helped prop up household spending and keep families afloat. But lower-income workers still lag behind those at the top in terms of job gains, with zero growth over the past 13 months.

The global economic downturn will negatively impact Egypt's economy in 2009, with growth expected to decrease to 5% from over 6% in 2008. Several sectors are especially vulnerable, including tourism, transportation, finance and real estate. However, Egypt is better insulated than other countries due to limited exposure to global financial markets and a strong banking system. Policymakers have an opportunity to take steps to lessen the recession's impact and position Egypt for future growth by implementing fiscal and monetary stimulus, supporting vulnerable sectors, and expanding social safety nets. Maintaining economic reforms will help Egypt's economy once the global situation improves.
This document discusses global economic crises. It begins by defining an economic crisis and listing different types, including food, financial, oil, industrial, and export crises. The document then reviews the history of world economic crises since World War 2. It examines some key causes of crises, such as unemployment, falling exports and stock markets. The overall effects on the global economy are also reviewed, such as rising unemployment and bank retreats from emerging markets. The document concludes by providing recommendations to address crises and calling for reforms to prevent future crises.
Global Investment Returns Yearbook 2012Credit Suisse
This document examines how inflation and deflation have impacted different assets over time. It finds:
1) Throughout history, there have been periods of both inflation and deflation, though sustained high inflation is a 20th century phenomenon. Most countries have experienced both inflation and deflation at some point in the last 112 years.
2) While equities may offer some protection against inflation, they are influenced more by other sources of volatility. Bonds have played a special role as a hedge against deflation.
3) Real estate has been a disappointing inflation hedge, performing worse than domestic housing. Inflation-hedging strategies are also unreliable when applied to new time periods and locations.
1) Bird flu poses a threat to the global economy if it mutates into a pandemic form that spreads easily between humans. Industries like tourism and airlines would be badly affected.
2) A pandemic could spread around the world within 30-60 days due to increased global travel and mobility. It would be difficult to contain and could potentially cause chaos.
3) Restarting the complex global economy after a pandemic that simultaneously impacts supply and demand worldwide would be an overwhelming challenge.
This document discusses the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that this crisis is different from previous ones due to its global scale and the simultaneous supply and demand shocks. Entire populations are on lockdown, causing a steep decline in production and surge in unemployment (supply shock). Demand is also dropping significantly due to loss of income and consumption postponed by lockdowns. Central banks have acted to increase liquidity but more fiscal support is needed. In the long run, countries may seek to reduce economic dependencies created by globalization and relocate some production domestically or regionally for security of supply.

" Corona virus "
First case of corona virus was reported on 10 jan 2002 in wuhan city of china and till now there are more than 7lakhs+ infected from it.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend towards de-globalization and may increase countries' impulse towards protectionism. It has highlighted vulnerabilities in heavily globalized supply chains that rely on few suppliers like China. Countries are now looking to diversify suppliers or bring production home. It has also damaged trust between countries as some acted opportunistically in their responses. Going forward, countries may boost local production of essential goods and focus on food and energy security, leading to a less globalized economy unless leaders resist protectionist urges.
COVID-19 has caused a global economic recession worse than the 2008 financial crisis. Many countries experienced record contractions in their GDP, such as France at -13.8%, the UK at -20.4%, and India at -23.9%. Globally, an estimated 400 million full-time jobs were lost in the first six months of 2020, and worldwide income fell by over $3.5 trillion. Emerging markets and developing economies have been especially hard hit due to weaker healthcare systems, loss of trade and tourism, and mounting debt. The pandemic will require strong economic policies and coordination between countries to address the crisis.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) IMPACT ON VARIOUS INDUSTRIES & POTENTIAL PATHS OF RECO...Mirdul Amin Sarkar
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is going to be the longest health crisis ever being suffered in the modern times. The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains and international trade. More than 100 countries are closing their national borders and the movement of people has come to a screeching halt. The pause in the movement of people is greatly affecting the world economy, as people are staying indoors and major industrial productions has come to a grounding halt. According to an analysis by the UN Department of Economic and Social affairs, the global economy could shrink by upto 1% in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic which is lower than the previous forecast of 2.5% growth. The UN also added that the global economy could contract even further if restrictions on economic activities are extended without any adequate fiscal responses.
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting the overall growth of global economy. Some industries are booming in the event of crisis such as Technology, Entertainment industry. Entertainment industry with strong digital presence like Netflix, Amazon prime and technology companies aiding the operations of workplace like videocalling app Zoom are growing significantly in this crisis. Sectors like Groceries, Sanitary & cleaning, Food and beverages, Wholesaling are set to increase due to the pandemic. The corona virus scare has created a huge awareness on hand washing and there is a growing consumers’ inclination towards disinfectants and sanitary products. While some industries are growing with new opportunities, some are stalled and reeling under the lockdown. Tourism and travel industry are completely out of business due to social distancing and travel restrictions. Almost 100 countries over the world have closed their borders and airports have been shut-down for passengers. The airline companies, tourism related business are losing revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Manufacturing sectors are also being closed and the productions are paused due to workers being quarantined in their homes. The agriculture sector is experiencing shortage of labor and fall in agricultural commodity prices. Banking and financial institution will be having hard time in collecting their dues and will be renegotiating credit terms. Banks also won’t be able to gain new deposits during this crisis and thereby affecting its earnings.

3) The economic fallout from COVID-19 is expected to persist for many months or years, and analysts warn that further disruptions from containment measures could weaken the global economy further.
Value Interrupted - Will the Real Estate Market Weather the PandemicTim Wilmath
This document discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the real estate market globally. It describes how various economic indicators like GDP, stock markets, and hotel occupancy dropped sharply in early 2020 due to lockdowns and business closures. Transaction data for hotels showed prices plummeted. Retail and restaurants were hit hard by closures and the rise of online shopping. However, the residential market remained strong with rising home prices. By late 2020, some markets began recovering as restrictions eased and stimulus took effect, but long term impacts on sectors like office and retail remained uncertain.
The document provides an outlook for the year 2016. It begins with a base case that forecasts slow economic growth and low inflation in the US, with the S&P 500 reaching 2214.39. It identifies several "known unknowns" that could impact the outlook, including monetary policy changes, the global economy, the upcoming US election, and geopolitical issues. It then examines the weak US economic recovery in more depth, attributing it to high private sector debt levels. International growth is also constrained by debt and aging populations. China's transition away from its low-cost manufacturing model poses risks if not managed properly.
Corona virus pandemic impact on digital advertising industryYieldbird
The safety measures imposed by the governments of almost all countries to protect their citizens will most probably trigger a period of economic turmoil much bigger than the 2008 crisis. This means that while protecting our health, we need to also start thinking about the future. To make this situation at least a little easier, we have decided to compile the most important knowledge we possess in terms of the potential future implications of the pandemic; and we have set out ways to navigate this difficult situation. We hope the will prove useful to you in terms of making all necessary business decisions.
The document discusses how past pandemics have had long-lasting economic effects that can persist for decades. It finds that following pandemics, real interest rates are depressed by around 1.5 percentage points for 20 years. Real wages also gradually increase in the decades after pandemics. In contrast, major wars cause real interest rates to remain elevated for 30-40 years due to the destruction of capital. The COVID-19 pandemic may have a more attenuated impact on interest rates due to modern medicine and the virus primarily affecting older populations no longer in the workforce. However, long-term secular stagnation remains a risk governments need to address through fiscal stimulus.
Living in the Post-COVID World and Finding OpportunityAlexander Khvatov
The document discusses how the coronavirus pandemic will lead to significant and long-lasting changes in technology trends and the business world. Key impacts include a shift to remote work and online services, changes in spending on different industry sectors, and an accelerated transition to digital technologies. The crisis will have both short-term negative effects and create new opportunities for adaptation and growth in areas like healthcare, education, and online services.
The 2022 US midterm elections will be highly consequential. They will take place amid accusations of election fraud from both Democrats and Republicans. The results are likely to see Republicans take back control of the House and possibly the Senate. However, neither side will view the results as legitimate, further eroding trust in US political institutions. More importantly, the midterms will set the stage for the 2024 presidential election, in which Donald Trump may run again and potentially dispute the results as he did in 2020, risking a constitutional crisis. The midterms represent a historic tipping point for political polarization and tensions in the US.
Not a few countries that are experiencing stuttering when facing of the COVID-19pandemic, the high number of victims and the decline in the economy can be regarded as the state's stuttering in responding to the global health crisis. Stuttering that cannot be overcome has the potential to manifest as a failed state.
The COVID-19 pandemic not only caused numerous casualties in almost the entire world, but also caused a very fundamental global transformation, overhauled patterns of human interaction and relations between nations in the world system, and changed the increasingly loose direction of global geopolitics, making each country have sovereignty in looking at the urgency of global collaboration and collaboration. There are at least three transformations that will change the face of the world going forward, namely economic and trade transformation, and international relations and geostrategy.
The IMF also released the countries with the worst economic growth in 2020. Countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and even the United States were included in the ranks of the list. This poor economic growth is parallel to the uncontrolled spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in these countries. Poor economic growth in 2020 is a form of stuttering in handling COVID-19.
This document proposes an alternative approach to the current response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that the economic costs of shutting down large parts of the global economy will be exponentially worse than the direct health impacts of the virus. The author suggests either implementing a massive $10s of trillions loan program to support all businesses, as proposed by Andrew Ross Sorkin, or accepting that most people will eventually get the virus and returning to normal economic activity while protecting only the most vulnerable groups. The goal is to avoid an economic crisis potentially worse than the Great Depression by getting the US economy operating again as soon as possible.
The document discusses several risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. It argues that China's zero-COVID policy will fail to contain the highly transmissible Omicron variant, leading to larger outbreaks and more lockdowns that severely disrupt the Chinese economy. Supply chain issues caused by China's lockdowns will also persist globally. High inflation due to pandemic-related factors like labor shortages will also be a major economic challenge. The pandemic will further widen inequality between developed and developing nations as wealthy countries receive booster shots while vaccines remain scarce elsewhere. These issues could exacerbate political instability in many countries.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.

#### The Proliferation of Altcoins
Following Bitcoin's success, thousands of alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, have emerged. Each of these altcoins aims to improve upon Bitcoin or serve specific purposes within the digital economy. Notable examples include Ethereum, which introduced smart contracts – self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement

On June 11-16, several important international events were organized and they are expected
to contribute to Ukraine's resilience and victory: URC2024, the G7 meeting, and the Global
Peace Summit.
According to the IER, real GDP growth slowed slightly to 3.5% yoy in May compared to 4.2%
yoy in April due to significant damage caused by russian attacks on electricity generation.
Restrictions on electricity supply to industry and the population continue: efficient consumption
and the installation of decentralized power generation capacities are a priority.
The Ukrainian Sea Corridor allows an increase in the exports of ores and metallurgical products.
Foreign aid was the lowest in May. However, already in June Ukraine should receive about
USD 4 bn in loans.
In May, as in the previous three months, consumer inflation was slightly above 3% (3.3% yoy).
In June, the NBU again reduced the discount rate – from 13.5% to 13% per annum.
The hryvnia exchange rate has surpassed UAH 40 per dollar due to the growing demand for
cash currency.

1. THE
COVID-19
RECESSION:
THE GOOD,
THE BAD, &
THE UGLY
A VISUAL GUIDE
FOR INVESTORS
Swipe Right
The global impact of the coronavirus
has far stretching implications for the
global economy and markets. The
disease is now reported in more than
85 countries with more than 95,000
cases and 3,200 deaths recorded.
Yet these cases might just be the tip
of the iceberg with many more cases
circulated undetected. We run
through the good, the bad, and the
ugly of the virus and it's long-term
implications
2. There were 43-89
million cases of
H1N1 "Swine Flu"
in 2019
Swipe Right
In 2009, the H1N1 influenza virus
more commonly known as Swine flu
was reported in more than 214
countries, with c.19k deaths and
between 43-89 million cases!
3. COVID-19 is
insidiously more
effective & serious
than Swine flu
Swipe Right
COVID-19 spreads more effectively than
H1N1 through airborne transmission and
has 2x the incubation period. Unlike H1N1,
we have no antibody defense for this strain
and the purported 1-4% death rate would
be the most deadly in the last 100 years
4. Global healthcare
systems are
seriously under
prepared
Swipe Right
COVID-19 does not cause immediate or dramatic
illness in most cases when contracted so can
transmit easily undetected. Around 10% of cases
require hospitalization and ventilator support - a
major problem for global healthcare systems. It's
estimated 10x as many cases are undetected.
5. Mass public
quarantines
aren't viable
outside China
Swipe Right
Incredibly China has placed a social distancing protocol
or quarantine on almost 1.5 billion people, many of whom
have not left their home for 6 weeks other than to buy
essentials. Cases are falling but this is inevitably
temporary and unworkable in EU & US. This buys time
but economies meanwhile will be decimated.

6. Delay not contain:
expect large scale
event cancellations
& on-going business
disruption
Swipe Right
China's unique brand of social distancing and self-
imposed isolation is all but impossible outside of
compliant populations or small dictatorships. Expect
to see large scale events cancelled while supply
chain issues reek havoc on businesses globally.

7. US GDP is driven by
consumer spending
but virus fears are
denting economic
prospects
Swipe Right
More than 70% of US GDP growth is driven by consumers
spending on goods and services. The speed and scale of the
virus cases being reported globally is causing business
disruption and weaker consumer spending as people spend
less time with each other. Airlines, hotels, restaurants, and
manufacturing are already taking a substantial hit.
8. SME'S drive >50%
of GDP; Cash flow
issues are likely as
fixed-costs hit
balance sheets &
profits as
revenues dive
Swipe Right
More than 55% of US employment and 52% of US GDP is
driven by small and medium sized businesses with most
other economically developed countries showing the same if
not greater reliance on smaller companies. While PLC
companies might have the balance sheet strength to weather
weaker revenues, most SME's have high fixed costs and will
not be able to last a protracted decline in spending.
10. Corporate Debt
is Higher as a
share of US
GDP than it's
been in 30
Years!
Swipe Right
Debt itself is not a major problem. But what the recessions of 2001
and 2008 tells us is that a crash in asset prices or housing can have
nasty impacts on global economies when businesses,
governments, and consumers are over leveraged. Today, non-
financial corporate debt is the highest it's been over 3 prior stock
market peaks and subsequent recessions. Assuming COVID-19
hits revenues, this might spark huge asset deflation, profit declines,
and inevitable defaults!
11. More than 1/3 of the
