| Summary: | The second wave of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic has amplified Myanmar’s public health
and economic challenges. Domestic cases of Coronavirus
(COVID-19) have risen rapidly in recent months. The pandemic
and the associated containment measures have weakened
consumption and investment, and disrupted businesses’
operations and the supply of labor and inputs. While the
global economy has begun to rebound following a gradual
relaxation of lockdown measures, the continued spread of
Coronavirus (COVID-19) in several parts of the world is
weighing on the nascent recovery. This report focuses on the
Myanmar's economic impacts of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on
firms, poverty and human capital as of December 2020. |
