This is highly unusual situation and great uncertainty still waits for us around the corner. In my opinion, indicating any precise markets or industrial sectors will not provide the real answer. Rather, the governments should pay attention to the fiscal and monetary balances to establish the post-pandemic equilibrium. Any sector or any market will suffer if there is unrecovered productivity, decreased capital accumulation, and declined production factor mobility. However, if you pay attention, the countries that suffer from COVID19 much are the countries with lower institutional qualities. For instance, Italy, a country that has a huge difference between north and south regions. Lastly, a deep understanding of the type of shock should be investigated. Is there an L shape, U shape or V shape damage to the supply side of the economy? and etc.

Albert, these are interesting times for individuals, organisations, business ventures and nation states because of a combination of a range of unplanned for events such as the recent Coronavirus worldwide pandemic, which has triggered not only a health but also an economic crisis. Some may even ascertain that there might even be a social crisis. Measures needed would therefore range from the health, to the economic to the social. We have already witnessed such mechanisms as social (i.e. physical) distancing, lockdown, an intensification of advice on proper hygiene in developing and developed economies. In the western hemisphere, governments have been quick to try and bolster economies with financial relief measures to help companies to furlough staff as a temporary measure to mitigate against mass redundancies/layoffs. In the developing economies such measures may prove a bit more challenging given the nature of their difficulties. Interesting.

Hermann Gruenwald Exactly

Hermann Gruenwald It is indeed so as the European Union continues to disintegrate on how to ease the stress on countries most affected by the COVID-19 situation. Countries like Italy and co. prefer grant whilst other countries are not willing to accept such offer.

Interesting times ahead!

Interesting discussion, I am following !

If one would want to specify a market or a sector of the economy, it is almost near to impossible to accomplish that feat as even different sectors and markets rely on other sectors and markets so a disturbance in one if left alone cause a cascade of disturbances. As for the response, there is no one correct response. That which matters is how much a state can keep minimal the effect on economy as well as human lives and not trading one for another as it is disasterous in it's own way. It is foolish to hope for states to cooperate closely with IOs and other states no matter how much it is needed and the right choice. We can only hope to live with the pandemic for now taking precautions, both for the citizens and the economy.

Currently, an interesting topic of research in the field of economics and finance may be the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease on the economic processes of companies, the functioning of markets, including financial markets and entire economies. In addition, important research issues include the analysis of the increase in the importance and scale of digitization of the economy, restructuring processes of enterprises in crisis, the increase in the importance of electronic payments made via the Internet, processes of changing the share of individual sectors and branches of the economy in GDP, the increase in the risk of a crisis in the state's finances, shaping and improving the instruments of interventionist, anti-crisis socio-economic policy, including the monetary policy of the central bank and national fiscal and budgetary policies, etc. Many economic data show that the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic on Covid-19 on the global economy is very large. The high probability of potential recession of the global economy and in many countries in 2020 is currently estimated. Well, in 2020 it is no longer trade wars that will be the main factor in the decline in international trade, international capital flows and other factors of production, international economic cooperation. In 2020, the main factor behind the decline in international trade, international capital flows and other production factors, international economic cooperation, etc. will be the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic that causes Covid-19 disease also affects logistics processes and chains. For example, if the international SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been temporarily interrupted due to the Coronavirus pandemic, including intermodal logistics chains, some production processes may be transferred to other countries. This may lead to a situation where international corporations, which have divided their production processes in previous years into stages implemented in factories and factories located in other countries now because of problems related to supply logistics may go back to the concept of concentration of all manufacturing processes in the same countries, in countries where the company has its headquarters or in countries far away from each other significantly shorter distances. This can lead to many factories returning from developing countries to developed countries despite slightly or significantly higher production costs. In this way, the risk of supply, supply logistics, etc. will be significantly reduced. If such international economic processes are carried out on a large scale in the following months and years, then the processes of economic globalization will reverse. In my opinion, the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus can potentially cause the most changes in logistics in the situation of long, complex, intermodal, international logistics supply and supply chains operating so far. In addition, the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the digitization of the economy. Currently (April 2020), in many industries and sectors, more and more companies are developing their activities via the Internet, remotely providing their services and selling their products under e-commerce. Many companies that did not do this before now switch to remote activities, carried out electronically via the Internet. The importance of Internet marketing, including viral marketing, Real-Time marketing conducted on social media portals is increasing. The development of electronic banking is also increasing, including online and mobile banking. Therefore, traditional logistics can be increasingly replaced by logistic business models in which some or all components of logistics processes are implemented via the Internet. In this situation, the importance of e-logistics is growing. In addition, the impact of the current SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Covid-19 disease) pandemic on banking sectors in individual countries is usually large. This is mainly an indirect impact on commercial banking. Mainly the cyclical, secondary impact that comes from the decline in economic activity in other sectors and branches of the economy. On the other hand, the impact of central banking that stabilizes economic processes in the banking sector and indirectly in the entire economy depends on the issue of the real scale of independence of the central bank from other public and governmental institutions and whether the national or international currency operates in a given country. If the country has international currency, then the scope of application of specific monetary policy instruments used as anti-crisis policy tools is much smaller compared to the situation when the country has the national currency and the central bank has all the tools of a full monetary policy.

Currently (early June 2020), a significant proportion of stock market analysts and investment advisors forecast a second downward wave of asset valuations on the commodity and stock exchanges. On the other hand, symptoms appear in many countries suggesting the beginning of the end of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic. However, the economies of many countries are already in a phase of severe economic recession. It will take some time until the situation on the financial markets calms down and the valuation of assets on capital markets will be more than currently correlated with the situation in the real economy. I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to cooperation.

In my opinion and being very objective to answer all your questions objectively and in a few words. Market economies will quickly recover. Centralized markets will take time to react. No market is immune to stressors.

The most affected economic sector will be the secondary. Agribusiness will take precedence over the industrial sector.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has generated political, educational, social and economic changes around the world, in order to promote discussion, especially in the economic sector, we share the following manuscript.
