One of the most unprecedented and deadly global calamities in recent history has been the COVID-19 epidemic. It has caused extensive human misery, hampered economic activity, and called into question society’ and institutions’ resilience. The epidemic has also highlighted the international economy’s underlying disparities and vulnerabilities, as well as the need for more effective and coordinated policy responses. Significant revenue reductions, increased unemployment, and disruptions in the transportation, service, and industrial industries are among the results of disease mitigation measures enacted in many countries. Most governments throughout the world, however, appear to have misjudged the economic impact of the deadly virus.
Lockdowns, social distancing, and travel restrictions versus economy
To fight the pandemic, governments around the world enforced mobility restrictions – lockdowns – that have invariably reduced economic activity. The severity of lockdowns is sometimes presented as a trade-off between ‘lives’ and ‘the economy’ in sophisticated countries. In underdeveloped countries, the issue may be better defined as a choice between ‘lives’ and ‘lives.’ According to a World Trade Organization (WTO) study, transportation and travel costs are a key component of trade costs, accounting for 15 to 31% of trade costs depending on the sector. Furthermore, new policies had an impact on the demand and supply of a variety of products and services, particularly those that relied on physical closeness between providers and consumers, such as tourism. Travel limitations and social isolation have resulted in prohibitively high trade costs in certain sectors. Furthermore, these policies impeded the coordination and administration of industrial processes across different nations, disrupting the operation of global value chains. Travel limitations have a significant impact on business travel, which is critical for establishing and sustaining commerce.

The Effect of COVID-19 Fiscal and monetary policies on the Economy
During the early phases of the pandemic, central banks aggressively reduced policy rates.
Aside from rate decreases, central banks acted as lenders of last resort, providing banks and other financial institutions with short-term liquidity. They also implemented programs to enhance loan availability to the non-financial sector. Direct payments to people, extended unemployment benefits, assistance to small enterprises, healthcare spending, and state and local government help were among the fiscal measures. The fiscal policy response attempted to offer income support to pandemic-affected people and companies, as well as to encourage aggregate demand and economic recovery. Monetary policy was implemented to reduce borrowing costs, relieve financial conditions, and avert a financial crisis. Other nations’ fiscal and monetary policy responses included comparable features of income support, demand stimulation, and credit provision. The scale and scope of policy responses, however, differed across nations, depending on their beginning economic conditions, fiscal space, exchange rate system, and institutional capacity.
The long-term implications of COVID-19 for economic growth and development
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only caused a serious global health disaster but also a huge economic shock that will have long-lasting effects on the world economy. The pandemic has caused problems with production, trade, investment, travel, and consumption, which has led to a sharp drop in the world’s income and output. The pandemic has also shown and made worse existing inequality, vulnerability, and fragility in many countries and areas, especially in developing and emerging economies. The pandemic has also made it harder to reach the Sustainable Growth Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change. This is because many countries are dealing with budget pressures, debt problems, and a lack of policy space to deal with the social and environmental aspects of growth. The pandemic has also shown how much more international cooperation and solidarity are needed to deal with the shared threats and problems that COVID-19 poses and to rebuild in a better and greener way.

The Effect of covid 19 on Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a big impact, both good and bad, on creativity and entrepreneurship. On the one hand, the pandemic has made problems and uncertainty for entrepreneurs and their new businesses that have never been seen before. This has affected their access to money, markets, customers, and talent. Many startups have seen their sales go down, their costs go up, and their processes get messed up, which has forced them to change direction, adapt, or even shut down. On the other hand, the pandemic has also led to more innovation and entrepreneurship, as business owners have used the crisis to take advantage of new chances and meet new needs. Some startups have made new goods, services, or business models to deal with the health, social, and economic problems caused by COVID-19. These include digital health solutions, e-commerce platforms, financial education tools, and contactless delivery services. Some studies have found that the pandemic has made people and groups more interested in and active in starting their own businesses. The pandemic has also sped up the uptake of digital technologies and innovation ecosystems, making it easier for entrepreneurs and other stakeholders34 to work together, try new things, and learn. How entrepreneurs and their ecosystems deal with the problem and use it to their advantage will determine how COVID-19 affects innovation and entrepreneurship.
Risks for developing countries
Many developing countries and economies in transition face big risks from the fast tightening of world financial conditions. Rising interest rates and a change from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening in developed economies have made debt problems worse and made it harder for the government to decide how to spend money.
To stop many developing countries from getting stuck in a cycle of low growth and high debt, policymakers need to work together better across borders and take coordinated global action.
