Impact of COVID-19:
An Overview
BEFORE BEGINNING
Signs of Countries getting
Decoupled from the Global
Economy
Ratios of trade to gross domestic product
(GDP) declined. China showed this tendency
prominently. In 2008, China’s trade to GDP
ratio was close to 58%, but a decade later it
was barely 38%. India showed a similar
tendency: its trade to GDP ratio reached
nearly 56% in 2012 but was down to 43% in
2018.

HEALTHCARE CAPACITY
Compared with 2004, rice prices increased by 224%, wheat prices by 108%, and corn prices
by 89% in India. When the effects of restrictions on importing countries are evaluated, it is
seen that Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Azerbaijan were negatively affected by
79%, 70%, 61%, and 54%, respectively.
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS
Most institutions moved classes online and cancelled in-
person classes. Results from a survey showed that almost
10% of institutions do not have the facilities and
infrastructures in place to conduct online classes, and most
of these institutions are in Africa. Limited flexibility was
observed in the United States from restricted use of grant
funding to alleviate the impact of COVID-19.
Nationwide closures affected over 91% of the universes’
pupil populace in India. UNESCO estimates that round 32
crores college students are affected in India, incorporating
these in faculties.
According to a report, 38 universities in Australia were expected to collectively lose 3.3 billion AUD due to
the loss of international students alone. In the UK, 13 universities were expected to face bankruptcy due to
COVID-19. With an approximate decrease in enrollment by 50% among incoming international and 10%
among local students, an estimated loss of 11 billion pounds had been reported, including revenue from
non-academic venues such as accommodation and services.
TRADE
The World Trade Organization (WTO) had estimated that in a worst-case scenario, global trade could
dip as much as 32%, indicating the kind of dislocation they expected in large economies. In India, for
instance, the disruption was visible — almost 50% of our trade was directly linked with the micro, small
and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector as even large players sub-contracted to the smaller
producers. World trade had never really recovered since the global financial crisis — from a 10% growth,
it had been hovering around 1%-2%. Harvard Business Review forecasted 13-32% decline in
merchandise trade and a 30-40% reduction in foreign direct investment.
How firms have been expected to react?
1. Start with global growth patterns
Global business leaders could be going beyond just
watching disease trends and economic data — they can
help tilt the balance from negative to positive feedback
loops by contributing to health, growth, and international
cooperation.
2. Supply chain policies
Economic logic almost always favors the 'greater safety in
international diversification' approach, coupled with
national stockpiles for true essentials, but politics would
sometimes force them to try fostering domestic self-
sufficiency.
3. Superpower frictions and fragility
Firms are expected to be ready for the possibility of a more
regionalized world, but not count on it.
4. Ongoing technological shifts
Business leaders can think productively about Covid-19,
technology, and globalization, by taking a structured
approach to consider both internal and external
implications.
5. Public opinion
Customers and employees increasingly expect corporate
leaders to take a stand on social issues, making public
opinion about globalization, a potential management issue.
