 When the effects of COVID-19 will end,then how will the world economy recover.
   There can be different possiblities or differrent paths by which world economy will recover.

So, let's discuss:-

At first, there is a complex relationship between:-

 • The path of the virus, whether this disease will continue or its effect will reduce.

 • The effectiveness of virus contaminated and economic support policies.

 • The behaviour of private sectors.

    Here are the 5 scenarios:-

                           ● V- SHAPE

 In this, the economy suddenly drops due to the pandemic but again starts to peak up very steeply as the effect of virus gradually deceases.

 But, for this type of fast recovery, some aspects must be fulfilled :-

 1.) The virus clears up in April or May,                allowing social distancing rules to be              relaxed.

 2.) Whether the consumer demand will               grow  or not.
     These demands are aided by the massive       fiscal and monetary stimulus.

 3.) Whether the factories and services will         reopen smoothly for businesses.

 4.) Government efforts to stop companies           from firing workers prove successful             and unemployment recedes.

 EXAMPLE:- China's manufacturing PMI

    Due to the pandemic, China's                            manufacturing production declined                steeply but again accelerated fastly as            the country recovered from the virus.

                        U- SHAPE

 In this case, first GDP will shrink fastly (   which is happening in reality) then for   some time , GDP will grow by almost no   value .
     At this stage, virus cases will be on peak   and then, there will be a sudden and steep   recovery as policy makers help bridge gap,   vaccines appear on horizon and economic   activity resumes.

 (Most of the experts has favoured a 'U'   shaped recovery.)

Conditions for this:-

 1.) The Virus lingers to June and social   distancing rules takes time.

 2.) While there is a release of demand, but    consumers don't race back to shops or            restaurants.

 3.) That's because factories and other                 workplaces take time to return to full            capacity and not every job lost in the              crisis is won back . Some need to repay         debts they built up during the crisis.

 4.) The recovery eventually materializes,             but not until late 2020 or beyond.

This type of scenario would be really the worst-case scenario for world GDP.

Conditions :-

1.)  The virus runs into the second half of         the year, forcing so distancing rules to            remain beyond June.

 2.) There is still a chance the recession will         be lengthier than anticipated.

 3.) In this scenario, people continue to cut          back on serious spending opting to keep        with their home theatres and resist                taking holidays.

 4.) Debts built up before or during the                crisis become hard to pay down, setting        off a spiral of default and business                  bankruptcy that create fears of a credit          crunch.

5.) Govt. have to spark the demand among          consumers by delivering more stimulus        after their previous efforts failed.

                         ● W- SHAPE

 This scenario is the virus return scenario.
   In economic terms, this would lead to a        double- dip recession.

 Points:-

 1.) The virus return.

 2.) It efforts to control the pandemic are            losssing ptematurely, the virus stage a            comeback.
 
 3.) That would mean the re- imposing of            restrictions, reigniting uncertainity and        forcing the closing of workplaces and            service providers again.

 4.) The result is a recovery followed by a             lurch back into recession.

                        ● TICK- SHAPE

In this scenario, economy will accelerate very slowly. There will be no sudden increases in economic activities and hustle around the world.

Points:-

 1.) Also known as the "Nike swoosh"

 2.) This scenario allows for business and   spending to slowly resume as limits are   eased more carefully than they were   introduced.

 3.) The level of economic output stay       beneath the level of its pre-crisis trend   well into 2021.

 4.) There's a lack of animal spirits as people remain cautious of over- spending or taking long- distance trips, especially if they have to deal with debts.

 ☆ These were the possible 5 ways of                    economic recovery post coronavirus              pandemic.
