Impact of COVID 19 on global and Indian Economy

By Biotech Express on April 19, 2020 Articles, SARS- CoV2 & COVID-19 Updates

by Biotech Express Bureau

If you are interested to find how market projections changed during CoV pandemic then you may see many financial advisors’ websites or reports but the aim of this article revolve around the aim to see how a biological agent can hit the economies of many countries including world leaders like America and China.

Success in biological containment of the virus had come at the price of slowing economic activity, no matter whether social distancing and reduced mobility are voluntary or enforced. The coronavirus shock is severe even compared to the Great Financial Crisis of 2007–08, as it is hitting households, businesses, financial institutions, and markets all at the same time—first in China and now globally.

J.P. Morgan Global Economics Research now expects the global economy to experience an unprecedented contraction during the first half of the year as containment measures are driving deep collapses in monthly economic activity.

The FTSE, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nikkei have all seen huge falls since the outbreak began on 31 December. The Dow and the FTSE recently saw their biggest one day declines since 1987. Similarly many industrial segments have recorded record decline in demand and supply.

The analysis by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) said the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting global supply chains and international trade. According to the forecast, lockdowns are hitting the service sector hard, particularly industries that involve physical interactions such as retail trade, leisure and hospitality, recreation and transportation services.The analysis also warns that the adverse effects of prolonged economic restrictions in developed economies will soon spill over to developing countries via trade and investment channels. A sharp decline in consumer spending in the European Union and the United States will reduce imports of consumer goods from developing countries.

In response, central banks in many countries, including the United Kingdom, have slashed interest rates. Global markets did also recover some ground after the US Senate passed a $2 trillion (£1.7tn) coronavirus aid bill to help workers and businesses.

Industries that were hit hard due to this biological calamity
The Hospitality industry hotel, restaurant industry has been badly damaged, with airlines cutting flights and tourists cancelling business trips and holidays. All means of public transport like airbus, rail, buses, autos and even rickshaws have been banned on their tracks. This not only affected the drivers but also the families who were looking to welcome the passengers they are bringing in their tourist city.Governments around the world have introduced travel restrictions to try to contain the virus.

There is a long list of other industries that have suffered a lot after Coronavirus attack. The list include Education, Sports & Entertainment, Hyperlocal Marketplaces, Retail & e-Commerce, Fintech, Textile and Apparel, Consumer Durables and Electronics, Poultry and Seafood, Movie theatres, Fitness centers, Commercial real estate, Shipping, Automakers, Oil and gas, Conventions, Online Food service, Theme parks etc.

Since there are many industries that have been put in a dormancy state it is noteworthy to discuss the industries that are kept in a list of essential commodity and are open.

The first priority has been granted for food and health sector, including their upstream/downstream partners. Second priority was given to online marketplaces that are providing essential commodities like supermarkets and online delivery services have reported a huge growth in demand as customers stockpile goods such as toilet paper, rice and orange juice as the pandemic escalated.

Since the number of COVID19 cases did not surge to extreme, Indian Govt. on 17th April i.e. after 25 days of lockdown allowed few industrial activities to resume/boost India’s financial position.
