Abstract

The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic at the end of 2019 had a huge impact on the world economy. This article is based on the actual economic development at this stage, combined with the research results on the impact of the epidemic on the economy, and the existing research results from the macroscopic and economic forecasts. After sorting it out, the research found that, on the one hand, the huge impact of the outbreak on the macro economy cannot be ignored. It will take longer for the more severely affected countries to return to their previous economic conditions, especially in terms of unemployment and employment opportunities. On the other hand, personal consumption has shown a sharp decline, while economic flows have been significantly reduced, especially for some large-scale economic sectors, such as aviation and entertainment during the epidemic. In order to effectively stimulate economic recovery, the government departments need to adopt active and effective measures to prevent and control the epidemic, and increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of the economy at the same time.
