Special Issue on: "The Impact and Implications of COVID-19 on Financial and Fiscal Systems in Asian Countries"

Guest Editor:
Dr. Aviral Kumar Tiwari, Rajagiri Business School, India

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are unmatched across the countries of the world. It has affected all the sectors of economies at different degrees and levels. Specifically, the forced social distancing, testing/quarantining and lockdown reactions have triggered an economic crisis at least twice the size of the global financial crisis 2008- 2009. Furthermore, the likely recovery is predicted to be much slower and speed remains unpredictable due to speeding uncertainty around the world.

The global financial system has emerged from an initial period of extreme stress, in large part due to governments’ efforts to stimulate the economy, central banks’ speed at addressing market disruptions, and the resilience of financial institutions. The policymakers around the world have rapidly deployed a wide and a novel arsenal of fiscal, monetary and regulatory tools to cope with the inevitable economic recession.

Specifically, the global financial system has been both a source of strength - with banks and fintechs helping distribute support to small businesses and households in need - and an area of potential risk, with record levels of market volatility and growing concern around credit losses. Governments, central banks, regulators, and international organisations have moved rapidly to address the economic collapse and financial fallout, but questions remain around how policy should continue to evolve to preserve financial stability.
