Abstract:
The 21st century began with a crisis. First it was the 2008 Financial Crisis
that led to the Great Recession. The aftermath of the crisis was not fully
overcome and we have faced another crisis that erupted in the healthcare
system. The COVID 19 pandemic brought the second wave (after the 2008
Financial Crisis) of global financial and economic shocks.
Since 1944, we have had a global financial order shaped on the Bretton
Woods Conference. The system showed solid performance till 2008, but the
Financial Crisis empirically tested the existing deficiencies. In the US and
other states, enormous monetary and fiscal interventions had to be done
for saving the economies and the banking sectors especially. Sovereign debt
had been a main source of funding for measures to maintain the economy.
From a financial perspective, the same is being done now to cope with the
COVID 19 pandemic shocks.
