Australia may face a recession for the first time after 1991 The IMF has also warned that if the epidemic takes too long and the Corona crisis returns in 2021, the situation may worsen, and the global GDP may have to suffer another eight percent.

For heavily indebted economies, the situation may worsen. Nobody would like to pay any debt to such countries, and this would increase the cost of their debt.

Financial Crisis Economic activity has come to a standstill due to prolonged lockdown, but the IMF has said that quarantine and social distancing are essential measures.

The organization has said that these are necessary steps to stop the virus from spreading, and they have got time to manage the health care system. To tackle the economic side effects of the epidemic, the IMF has put forth four priorities.

The first is that more money should be invested in the health care system, financial assistance is given to the employees and business people, the central bank should continue its help, and there should be a concrete plan to overcome the bad situation.

The IMF has also appealed to the world to work together toward finding vaccines and cures. The institution has said that many developing countries will need relief from debt in the coming years and months.
