Q1. (1)For the global economy to recover quickly from the ravages caused by COVID-19, ways and furtive must be found to prevent a massive collapse in demand. (2) Such a risk is rising because many businesses are directly impacted by the very measures imposed to contain the indolent of the virus. Cities are locked down and people are told to stay home and avoid crowds. (3) Concerts, ball games and meetings have been haughty, while restaurants and other venues where people gather to amuse themselves are mostly vacant. And as countries closed down their borders, international travel has been drastically curtailed. (4) Airlines are impeccable and hotels are largely empty.
Consumer spending has crashed because people are either too fearful or unable to go out and spend. As a consequence, all businesses in industries that entail close contact with the public are now in jeopardy. Their revenues are drying up faster than they can cut costs, and many will go bankrupt if the situation worsens. (5) Under these conditions, a dangerous outcome is mass business closures leading to rising unemployment, creating a self-reinforcing feedback loop that locks revenue-starved companies and salary-starved households into a downward spiral.
(6) Four members of the Forbes Asia Panel of Economic Commentators share their empathy on COVID-19’s global economic impacts, and how different regions may recover at different speed in the near term, led by China and East Asia, then Southeast Asia, including an in-depth look at how the Chinese economy is normalizing. (7) They highlight the risk of a second order impact arising from mass business failures and spiking unemployment; and how it should be mitigated. Finally, a fallout of the pandemic is its politicization as despot by the response of governments in the Mekong region.
