The COVID-19 pandemic has jolted the world economy. India has also been facing a big stifle during the lockdown. It has adversely affected all sectors of the economy at varying degrees. However, “every crisis presents an opportunity.” It is true for the present pandemic as well; for example, weak oil prices may help many countries lower their import cost.

The world economy has slowly started to emerge out of a period of extreme duress and uncertainty. Policymakers around the world have adopted innovative fiscal, monetary, and regulatory tools to deal with the inexorable economic recession. To boost economic activity within the new normal, apex banks worldwide have started to offer loans at low-interest rates. They have also taken several measures to increase liquidity in the market to speed the recovery of the economy and resilience of financial institutions.

The financial systems and government policies globally have strengthened the economy. For example, the 'Make in India' initiative of the Indian government, is specially designed to support the SME sector. Banks and financial institutions in the country are being channelised to help distribute loans to support small businesses and households in need (an area of potential risk, with record levels of market volatility growing concern around credit losses). Policymakers, apex banks, regulators, and international organisations have launched many ground-breaking policies to address the economic crisis. However, questions remain around how policies should continue to evolve to adapt to this new situation for a fast recovery of economies and financial systems.
