Coronavirus Pandemic Losses

MOSCOW – Losses from the coronavirus pandemic have already exceeded the damage from the global financial crisis of 2008 and from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Interfax reports with reference to an interview with the BBC broadcaster, Jose Angel Gurria, Secretary General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) .

“Even if there is no global recession, we will get either zero or negative growth in many countries of the world, including the largest. Because of this, global growth will not only be low this year, but will also be restored for a long time,” Gurria said.

“We don’t know how much money will be needed to fight unemployment – because we don’t know how many people will lose their jobs. And we don’t know how much it will take to reanimate hundreds of thousands of medium and small enterprises that have already suffered,” the head of the OECD believes. Coronavirus Pandemic Losses

It was also reported that Volkswagen will reduce production of the Skoda Rapid model at the plant in Kaluga due to lack of components.Coronavirus Pandemic Losses
