The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on global markets has been swift and shocking, leading to the most severe economic disruption since the Great Depression. As border closures and lockdowns around the world disrupt supply chains and send commodity prices into a freefall, valuations in global financial markets have crashed. What measures should governments and multilateral institutions take to minimize the economic fallout of this pandemic? What lessons does this crisis offer for building resilient supply chains? What could recovery look like?
