State of Global Economy, COVID-19 Outbreak, and the Russo-Ukraine War Impact

The global economy experienced heavy headwinds, throughout 2019-2021, as some countries witnessed subdue growth, while other countries continued to grapple with economic slowdowns. Also, intensifying tension between the US and Iran along with the tightening sanctions on Venezuela by the US further hampered global economic growth in 2019. Moreover, the heightened trade war between the US and China and the rising trade uncertainty continued to exert adverse effects on the global economy. Amid all these, the COVID-19 outbreak at the end of the year 2019 in Wuhan, China further deteriorated global economic growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has levied undue pressure across the majority of industries globally and has caused a major economic crisis in the US, India, Italy, UK, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and many others. Many of these countries had announced partial or complete nationwide lockdowns. The governments of several nations have called on people to shelter in place at home, travel restrictions, shut down local businesses, and prohibited social gatherings.

The rapid spread of the virus in the early month of 2020 followed by a second wave of COVID-19 caused a significant change in management strategies of the leading industries which have affected the market or industry at a significant level. Besides, the exit of the UK from the European Union earlier in 2020 and the Russo-Ukraine war in 2022 exacerbated the ever-heightened global uncertainty.
