The crisis has impacted the developing economies severely, threatening their macroeconomic stability, while the crisis for the developed economies is, rather of, limited in nature. Rising commodity prices in the world due to the disruption in the supply chain of raw materials, rising shipment costs, and a spike in demand for finished consumer goods have had an inflationary impact on global economies. Unlike in the past, a major element of the crisis is the volatile energy market. The macroeconomic crisis has impacted the world economies adversely mainly at the macroeconomic level, with having destabilising elements. However, the covid-related challenges are still not over.ĬURRENT ENERGY-INDUCED MACROECONOMIC CRISIS Hence, the recovery phase of the crisis started rather quickly, particularly through the implementation of the vaccination programme successfully across the world. Global economies either individually or collectively have taken measures to address the crisis. Despite various shortcomings, the support measures are considered to be effective for the targeted people, sectors and activities. Country-wide vaccination programme against infections at the micro level has been well-appreciated. The government has taken fiscal and monetary policy measures, including various stimulus packages, targeting the domestic economy in order to support those who lost their jobs, investment and production. This time also global commodity and energy markets have slumped due to demand shortfall and supply chain crisis. The impact was a loss of employment, income, less flow of remittances and export earnings and a slowdown in domestic service and manufacturing activities. Major global economies took individual and collective measures, which lessened the adversity though a few of the major economies needed time to recover fully.ĭuring the covid-linked crisis in 2020-22, Bangladesh's economy has been adversely affected both through internally and externally. The macro impact was rather limited and the domestic economy had recovered quickly. Though fiscal support was announced for the export sector, particularly targeting SMEs, that was not required to use at that time. Hence, the policy measures that had been undertaken during that time to create new jobs in rural areas, particularly in agriculture, were considered to be timely. Due to the limited integration with the global market, the impact was rather limited mainly in the case of loss of employment and income in selected export-oriented sectors and there was lower demand for migrant workers.īoth micro and meso levels of the economy were affected, though at a limited scale. GLOBAL FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISIS IN 2008-09ĭuring the global financial and economic crisis in 2008-09, Bangladesh's economy had been adversely affected in the external sector, mainly export and remittances. A major area of focus of policy and operational measures during this time should be to ensure macroeconomic stability, which has been affected due to the crises in the foreign currency reserves.
