Economic impact of Corona-virus(Covid-19): The other side of the coin.
We, the normal people, always think about one side of the coin; though there is always a back side of the coin. We all, right now, encounter the severe effect of Covid-19 on our daily life. Everything is halted and most importantly our economy is dwindling.There, in this situation, may be a recession coming. This is one side of the coin what we are thinking right now but there is, as I mentioned earlier, always a back side of the coin which I would call “Economic Mismatch”, my main concern of that article. Let’s examine the nuances between upcoming recession and Economic Mismatch.
A recession is a situation where inflation-adjusted per capita GDP declines and downturn of the economy is backed up by the weakness in industrial production, trade, capital flows, oil consumption and unemployment. And all of these macroeconomic indicators are influenced by economic shocks.
The economic shocks may happen by the effect of Covid-19. Because of Covid-19, people are quarantined in their house and maintain “social distancing”. Social distancing affects economic activity such as tourism, retail trade, restaurants, office work etc. which involves physical interactions among people. As an evidence WTO said, “The dollar value of world merchandise exports fell by 3% to $18.89 trillion”. Also there is a presage that the aggregate supply will precipitate, as the global supply chain is severely affected, consumption, backed by income will fall, hence aggregate demand(AD) will decrease, which further induces unemployment. In a nutshell, the whole economy will be foundered into a great recession. But what’s happening on the back side of the coin.
As I have mentioned earlier, those economic activities are affected which involves physical interactions and those are unaffected which doesn’t require physical interactions. That is why the business of Netflix, Amazon, which doesn’t require physical involvements, is booming and that of restaurants, hotels, retailers and tourism are slumping. And this inequality causes “Economic mismatch”. An Economic mismatch occurs when one side of the economy is booming and the other side is slumping. Here the problem induced by Covid-19 is not a general drop in Aggregate demand, rather It is a problem with Economic mismatch.
Let’s see, for example, how market valuation of Netflix increases within March.
As the evidence shows, there was a nadir in December 2018 with a market valuation of $107 billion, though in September 2019 It’s $115 billion, and surprisingly within March 2020 It went up to $162 billion. The fact illustrated above is backed up by “Social distancing”. The more people are quarantined, the higher the rate of time they spend on online. Hence, the revenue of these economic agents increased at a higher rate with Covid-19. But the scenario, depicted above, is not plausible in our country, Bangladesh. The reason behind it is the users of these online economic agents.
Let’s examine the graph below to see the apparent paradox.
We, from the graph above, see that most of the users of Netflix are from Australia, UK, Brasil, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Netherlands, Mexico and USA(which is not shown in graph). That means Netflix is often being used by the citizens of developed countries, where the effect of Economic mismatch is severe. As the users in Bangladesh are apparently low, the Economic mismatch may happen or may not happen.
In a nutshell, we, in spite of apparent paradox, can say that the effect of Covid-19 will cause a severe recession with Economic mismatch; which I mentioned as the back side of the coin.
So what measures should a government take to encounter the Economic mismatch?
Governments in many countries have taken fiscal measures to palliate the pandemic's economic impact. For example, the government in our country has already pledged to provide $90 million-6.9% for apparel manufacturers. But such initiatives will not help address the problem of Economic mismatch. Indeed, the government, in order to take on the underlying problem and find a solution, should devise a schism of economic activity in two sides; one side which involves physical interactions and the other side which doesn’t involve physical interactions. After the schism, the government should finance the adjustments needed to get over the Economic mismatch and provide appropriate goods and services to support the people who involve in the physical interactions’s work, such as restaurants, hotel, tourism, retailers etc.
